From Australian handwriting professional, Jasmin Martin:
Last year in
December, as I was in Australia, Ingrid Seger Woznicki and I interviewed Fiona
Summons of the Alison Lawson Centre. She is a specialist in dyslexia and treats
children and adults with dyslexia as well as the other 'dyses'. She in
particular is a supporter of handwriting being kept on the school curriculum.
We interviewed Fiona and a series of videos with the questions has been put
together (I will try to do this a little more professionally later) but for now
if anyone is interested the videos are on our web site:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyqTSktL6QM&list=PLyX27TSriW-XFFrv9a-d6Z00LMDQCvL_X
You can watch all of them in sequence by clicking on the link above. The
question posed and which she answers is in the title of the video.
This blog is sponsored by the Southern California Chapter of the American Handwriting Analysis Foundation (AHAF). Our Main Objective is to raise awareness among educators and legislators of the importance of mastering cursive handwriting for the physical and emotional benefits in the development of the child. Our End Goal: Develop outreach programs to educators and legislators and lobby for retention/reestablishment of teaching cursive in the classrooms.
