The Autism Society Philippines (ASP) is a national, non-profit organization dedicated to the well-being of persons on the autism spectrum disorder. We envision a society where Filipinos on the spectrum become the best of their potentials -- self-reliant, independent, productive, socially-accepted citizens of an Autism-OK Philippines.

PREPARING CWA FOR BETTER HANDWRITING
1:30pm-4:30pm

Good handwriting is needed by students in order to display what they know and advance through grade levels. When training children with poor handwriting, adults usually have them write over and over, hoping they eventually "catch" it and improve the quality of their work. This workshop describes the factors that affect handwriting - motor skills, sensory skills, ergonomic factors and behavioral issues. Developing foundational skills will result in better handwriting as the end-product.
