The parents of Ruben, a young boy in grade 4, contacted me following the recommendations of my colleague Julie Baverel, “The keys to writing” who knew that I was offering remote sessions. The family lives in Switzerland and no graphical educator was near her.
Ruben had, among other things, slowness, pain in his hand. During our first session, we worked on posture and pencil holding. The latter was very quickly corrected and the pain went away.
Ruben’s handwriting lacked fluidity, some letters were badly formed, he had trouble getting his words on the line, and his notebooks were dirty. Yet Ruben applied himself and did his best.
After 8 sessions, unwavering will, and enthusiasm, Ruben, helped by his father, rose to the challenge and made enormous progress. During our sessions, he notably learned to copy a text (no more word for word!). Thus, in one session, he doubled his writing speed!
He still has a little way to go, but I’m sure he can rise to the challenge!
