Has anyone used this program? What are your thoughts? was it successful? Did you just have workbooks or the manipulatives too? https://www.hwtears.com/hwt
I use it with some of my students. I have the manipulatives and use them with my really low students. I find that it's a great resource for teaching correct letter formation as well as giving you language to use when working with students on their handwriting. The downside I've found is that by the time a lot of our students qualify, the bad handwriting habits have already been formed. The little amount of time I have to work with them daily makes it difficult to break those habits because they don't always use the correct strokes for letter formation when they are back in the gen ed setting. I know a lot of the OT's are very familiar with the HWT program and are a great resource if you have more questions/need supplies, etc.
