Callirobics – Another Option for Handwriting

August 11, 2012 by Stacy Menz

I am so excited to share a guest post for PediaStaff written by Sarah Girard OTR/L, an OT at Starfish Therapies.  Please take a moment to check out her post on Callirobics and how she used it with a specific child she is working with.  The program provides a novel approach to supporting kids (or adults) who have challenges with handwriting.  It takes the pressure off of forming specific letters by working on control of patterns and using music to support the learning.  If anyone has used this program we would love to hear about your experiences with it!  Click here to read her post ‘OT Corner: Callirobics For Kids – Writing Skills with Music‘

What Clients Are Saying

“We have been so happy with our experience with Stacy. She is a skilled therapist who is so open to all of our questions and ideas. We have worked with a number of different therapists over time, and Stacy has truly been the best therapist for our son! We have also done physical therapy intensives with different clinics across the country, and found our intensive with Starfish to be the most useful and most tailored to what our son needs (not just a cookie cutter formula). We are grateful for all of the time/effort/sweat Stacy puts in for our son!”
