Guest guest Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 Hi everyone, Curious if many of you have used this program with your children at school? We have been using it this year with , it was initiated by his Ed Tech and she got all the info through the OT. It has been working wonderfully for J, he's writing several letters now. If you are familiar with the program, there is an order for which you introduce the letters. Currently they have only worked on 1 letter that is in 's name, C. Today his Ed Tech was to introduce O. I just got a phone call from her, on her way to a Doctor's appt, telling me that the Sped Teacher has told her to no longer use HWT and to just teach him how to write his name, on lined paper - none the less! The Ed Tech is crushed. He has been making such progress and understanding about writing the letters. Now she just wants him to write his name. As if that's all he'll ever need in life??? I'm going to see what the Teacher writes home today in the notebook, yesterday she wrote that she was going to have the Tech focus on writing his name and that it would be HOH at first. She made no mention of dropping the HWT program. Granted it's not in his IEP, he's learning!! Thoughts on writing???? What have your children learned to do? Don't you think it's important he learn to write more than just his name??? What about going from a program that uses specific wording prompts, etc. to something completely different that doesn't follow the same guidelines? She doesn't want her to use the verbal cues from HWT either. www.hwtears.com Thanks - Jayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
