Episode 23: Evidence in Action - Handwriting: What is Best Practice?

Caitlin is joined by Mikayla Heaton (OT) and Maddie Kearsley (OT) for the second instalment of PiP Cast’s Evidence in Action series.

Together, they unpack the latest evidence around handwriting and discuss what research says about effective interventions, the role of handwriting practice, and when it might be time to consider alternative methods such as typing.

We acknowledge the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people as the Traditional Owners of the land on which we work and live here in Mitcham, Victoria. We pay our respects to their Elders, past and present, and recognize their ongoing connection to the land, waterways, and culture. As we support children and families, we are inspired by the wisdom and care that First Nations peoples have shown for generations.
