Guest guest Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Hi , I would say it would be something a good OT would be able to work with. But finding one is another story. Here is my mum's two penneth worth. Have you tried to put some weights on his wrist when he is writing? that may help him feel his hand and arm better. The other aid that may help would be a weighted pencil... or put something on his lap that is heavy... weight really helps our kids.................. just some idea's. The other thing that I would try with him would be for you to give directions as to where to go with the pencil. My daughter does do some facilitated handwriting, and I give her instructions as to where to place the pencil, and it works, you just need to give directions that bit quicker than where the pencil is going, a real skill, but it is great when it works.... we started off by doing circles and then straight lines, and you could start off by saying, where to start and up down back to the beginning, etc... and don't be worried if the writing is rather large to begin with, it will get smaller.... also try hand over hand stuff.... and all you would need to do would be to hold firmly, and don't guide, just give him the verbal directions... and see where that takes you....HANDLE would be able to give you some exercises that may help, but it would cost money.... ! let us know if that works.... I find FC writing great..... everyone always has pencil's and paper available to them most of the time... good luck Attn or anyone doing neuro development exercises I was wondering if anyone has experiences of "mirroring" - is learning to write but some letters are written in mirror image, hope that makes sense. I was wondering if HANDLE or any of the neuro development things would help with this? Also looking for feedback (good or bad) on Dr Chargarlamundi as I need new doc to hold my hand - does she do Cutlar or Buttar protocol. Or can do them (what about prescriptions?)Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Hi, Just to say that my daughter had very poor handwriting, didn't colour in between the lines etc and also mirrored many letters and numbers. Bizarrely, after starting LDN at the lowest dose ( 1 line ) everything improved dramatically within 2 weeks. Everyone commented on the difference without knowing we had started a new intervention. Her handwriting is till very good, her colouring in now very neat and precise. Hope this may be of some help. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Hi , Yes it is but not sure how effective it is against opiods in the tiny doses mu daughter's on. I actually started it to try and regulate her immune system and was very surprised to see how it affected her fine motor skills. There was just a couple of other mothers on the LDN list who had also had the same reaction. > > That is an an opiate antagonist, isnt it?? > > irene604288 schrieb: > > > > Hi, > > > > Just to say that my daughter had very poor handwriting, didn't colour > > in between the lines etc and also mirrored many letters and numbers. > > > > Bizarrely, after starting LDN at the lowest dose ( 1 line ) everything > > improved dramatically within 2 weeks.

Guest guest Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 This is quite inteersting as A1 milk (produced by Friesen, Holstein cows) produces betacasomorphine in the digestive track. I believe morphine is like opiate, if I am not mistaken....I know of a school in Northhamptonshire for dyslexics took their kids off milk and their dyslexic symptoms reduced! Maybe there is a lesson in this...... clebutterfly2 schrieb: > > Hi , > > Yes it is but not sure how effective it is against opiods in the tiny > doses mu daughter's on.
