In this episode of The Writing Glitch, Cheri Dotterer welcomes occupational therapist Beverly Moskowitz, founder of Real OT Solutions and creator of the Size Matters Handwriting Program. Beverly shares her journey from school-based OT to an "accidental entrepreneur" after discovering that letter size, rather than form, is key to handwriting legibility. Beverly’s program helps teachers and therapists engage students in effective handwriting practice through evidence-based methods and innovative tools, enhancing legibility and confidence. Join us for an inspiring conversation on the importance of direct instruction and evidence-based strategies in handwriting intervention.
