Here's a new workbook developed by two experienced Occupational and Hand Therapists to help you learn to write with your non-dominant hand. Handwriting for Heroes: Learn to Write with Your Non-dominant Hand in Six Weeks is an encouraging but no-nonsense program for those who are serious about switching dominant sides, whether because of a wrapped arm or RIBP. Daily and weekly practice assignments, tips for assuring success, and plenty of encouraging words are offered in a framework of adult interests and sensibilities – no more first-grade writing tablets and kid-level practice sentences! The workbook is well-organized, clear, and comprehensive. The authors even invite the user to visit their website to ask questions or report on their progress. It should have been spiral bound for ease in laying it flat, but we tried bending the workbook's spine and that does keep it from becoming a frustration.
