Handwriting There are several basic brain processes involved in handwriting. Binocular teaming, or the proper focusing of the eyes, requires integration between the two hemispheres of the brain. Writing neatly on the paper is a fine motor activity that requires good hand eye coordination and good fine motor skill. Most handwriting problems are caused by a sensory integration disorder which inhibits coordination and integration between the many brain structures and systems involved in the writing process. The question for the parent is simply this: how can I begin to address possible brain processing problems that may be making it difficult for my child to write neatly and quickly?
The Learning Breakthrough Program uses balance as the central component to addressing brain-processing difficulties. Activities on the Belgau Balance Board can help your child to achieve greater integration between the two hemispheres of the brain. Learning Breakthrough Program activities using the Bean Bags or Pendulum Ball stimulate the eyes' binocular teaming, and improve hand eye coordination.
