What is Dysgraphia?
✏️ Dysgraphia is a neurological learning disability that affects the ability to write.
✏️ It is common among individuals who have Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD).
✏️ It impairs handwriting ability and fine motor skills.
✏️ It affects children and adults.
✏️ It interferes with all aspects of writing, including spelling, legibility, letter and word spacing, sizing, and expression.
✏️ It is typically identified when a child learns to write.
✏️ Other identifiable symptoms include trouble forming shapes, the awkward or tight grip on a pencil, difficulty following lines or staying inside margins, and trouble with sentence structure or grammar when writing.
✏️ There is no cure for dysgraphia. With targeted therapeutic intervention through occupational therapy, children can learn and practice techniques and methods for improving their impairment.
✏️ Accommodations can be made on IEPs to assist children who have dysgraphia, such as typing, or talk-to-text technology.
Do you suspect that your child might have dysgraphia? We have an amazing team of therapists who can help identify and treat symptoms so that your child can achieve their personal best. Be sure to ask at your next visit!

May is International Drum Month! Music has all kinds of benefits to people of every age and ability. Drumming, in particular, has an incredible impact on those with sensory differences. Here's how:
🥁 Bilateral stimulation-stimulating both sides of the body rhythmically. Drumming excels at this!
🥁 Stimulating both hemispheres of the brain simultaneously enhances communication between them, allowing for more efficient sensory and information processing.
🥁 Seratonin and dopamine boost-drumming may increase levels of serotonin and dopamine, the neurotransmitters associated with well-being and focus. This improved mood can further enhance sensory processing.
🥁 Auditory processing impact-drumming helps to fine-tune listening skills by improving sound discrimination abilities. It also helps with filtering out background noises and improves sequencing skills.
🥁 Proprioceptive input-one of the best impacts that drumming has is on the vestibular system. It can help with balance, coordination, and spatial awareness
All of these drumming benefits have a wonderful impact on the sensory system to help regulate people, especially our neurodivergent friends on the autism and ADHD spectrums!

🚨Due to a traffic accident earlier today causing major delays in the area, our office in Orange Park is reaching out to contact families and, if possible, cancelling their appointments for the evening. We have limited reception at the office, so communications are taking longer. Thank you for your understanding.🚨
