Handwriting Skills

Despite the prevalence of digital devices in our lives, handwriting is still a vital daily skill. Handwriting is required in all schools and is needed in nearly every profession today. There are several studies indicating that written work with poor legibility receives lower grades, despite the content. Did you know that there is a handwritten essay on the SAT and that decreased legibility can affect one's score? Still don't believe in the importance of handwriting?  Well, if you have ever watched the popular show, Shark Tank, every one of the investor-hosts take notes with pen and paper. These are some of the wealthiest, most technically savvy people in the country; several have owned extremely successful computer and internet companies, yet they still use pen and paper to write down their most important thoughts. That says a great deal in itself.
It can be very difficulty to watch a child struggle with writing and refuse help from family members.  We have years of experience in dealing with this exact issue. Contact BYB today for a thorough assessment of your child's handwriting skills.

Fine Motor Skills

Does your child require assistance for everyday tasks such as fastening buttons, snaps, zippers, buckles, or tying shoes?  Do they run to you to open every snack bag, container, juice box, or water bottle?  We can help. We have years of experiencing in teaching these skills in a fun way that leads to increased independence; which means your help isn't required at every moment of the day. 

Coordination 

The child who stumbles, bumps into others, falls frequently, and is often not able to keep up with his or her peers, or even worse--may not be included in playing games at school or at the playground.  We can help hone your child's skill to get them back in the game.  Call us today.
