The power and importance of writing is showing up in the business sector.

DTI and NILD have long sounded the cry for why penmanship is critical to a healthy brain. This foundational concept informs our Rhythmic Writing technique and why we encourage students and parents to practice it multiple times a week.

Writing - as opposed to typing - slows thinking down in order that more brain power can be leveraged for learning, remembering, and understanding.

It is good to see others outside the education world catch on!

Recent neuroscience research helps explain why, when it comes to learning and remembering, writing by hand is better than typing with a keyboard.

Is your child struggling with handwriting and/or the ability to get thoughts onto paper?
Writing skills are essential in all stages of life, including school, and though we have word processors now, getting one's thoughts onto paper through handwriting is still a crucial skill.

Our therapists had the privilege to travel down to Orlando, FL, and attend the annual regional conference on February 11. The topic this year concerned implementation fidelity of our new Gray Matter materials. It was a rewarding time to discuss with colleagues from other states, deepen our knowledge of this material, and spend some time in the Florida sun. Be sure to ask your therapist what they took away from the conference!

A lot of kids these days are struggling in school and it's not because they're not smart. It's because the way our schools are set up just doesn't work for everyone.

Discovery Therapies is here to help. We offer educational therapy services that are tailored specifically to each student's needs. We work with students one-on-one, in small groups, or even online, so no child has to struggle alone.
