I recently posted a notice about my breakthrough video for helping improve handwriting " Anyone Can Improve Their Own Handwriting" and something funny happened on the way to the " Forum" . Instead of people in the group supporting the effort to put out a video to help dysgraphics , I got messages of No you can't, stop deceiving people" or , " it is impossible to help people with dysgraphia as I know I have done all the treatments and programs and they did not help" or " your video says "everyone can" how can that be? Or " you can't just treat dysgraphia you need to treat the whole person". Then when I went on to explain how the program works, they just were not interested. Then I remembered a suggestion a psychiatrist I once worked with as a biofeedback therapist said to me. " The lady had a headache now, when you treat that she will then have a back ache, she thrives on the sympathy and attention" . Yes , the support group members wanted support, a shoulder to cry on - a place to wine about how the schools did not provide extra support . The last thing they were looking for was a solution.
However , turning a negative into a positive, I had to think hard about why my successful program was unique and even different than the other programs. I know of the high success rate my program has, but how do I convince others who already tried other amazing programs and failed, to try this one.
So I though hard and these are the reasons. First of all it is a video program and not one in a workbook. This has the advantage of being visual.
Then I looked at the history behind the making of the video. I myself had poor handwriting. If this was dysgraphia , and dysgraphia is suppose to be a brain disorder , then how is it I have lovely handwriting today. can the brain change?
As a biofeedback therapist working with students with test anxiety and ADHD in the israel health system, I had ample access to students with poor handwriting.
Then , as someone who could also not draw to save his life , I was able to correct that after age 40 and even become an art instructor.
Other things the video has. it integrates many ideas and tools , so it does look at the whole person. The video combines relaxed concentration techniques, seeing like an artist techniques, some calligraphy skills, hand and arm stress busters , ergonomics of sitting and writing and the actual rules of better handwriting applied.
Finally , and this is very important. I developed a way to correct and analyze a poor handwriting example so that the writer or parent can understand what Is happening. This is a unique screening , and probably should be patented , however I do have copyright through the video. and finally , the price and ease of using the video. Anyone can download it from Amazon.com for under 2.00 dollars , $ 5.00 to purchase online and 25 dollars - includes shipping for a hard CD copy.
So check it out on Amazon.com " Anyone can Improve Their Own handwriting" and as I told a lady on the support group - I mean " Anyone"
