Would you like a local handwriting interest group?
After witnessing the power of local action to transform a region at Members Day, we are more enthused than ever about supporting members to set up local groups. These will vary from region to region, but usually consist of about three meetings a year of local professionals (OTs, Physios, Eps, Teachers, TAs, SENCOs etc.) sharing ideas, talks, Q and A sessions and discussions about inspiring local change. The NHA has a small pot of money allocated to helping with set-up costs.
Current Local Interest Groups
Brighton and Hove Handwriting Interest Group
The Brighton and Hove Handwriting Interest Group was created in 2015 in order to bring together local teachers, therapists and psychologists to share knowledge, experience and a passion for handwriting. The group meets twice a year and is facilitated by Lesley Harding, Senior Specialist Paediatric Occupational Therapist. Our most recent sessions have focused on motivating the reluctant writer and implementing OT Busy Hands within the classroom to support hand readiness for writing. For more information, please contact handwritingtutorsussex@gmail.com
What if I live somewhere else?
We would like to have local groups all over the country. If you are interested in setting one up, please email enquiries@nha-handwriting.org.uk and we will let you know if anyone else nearby may be willing to help.
