THE WRITE START: An Introduction to Handwriting & Brain Health
Did you know that changes in handwriting can be one of the earliest indicators of changes in brain health?
Join us for The Write Start: An Introduction to Handwriting & Brain Health, an engaging one-hour interactive workshop designed to help individuals, caregivers, and healthcare professionals better understand the connection between handwriting and cognitive wellness. Participants will explore how handwriting changes may provide valuable insight into neurological conditions while learning practical techniques, adaptive tools, and strategies to improve writing, communication, and everyday independence.

Participants will learn:
