HANDWRITING READINESS

WRITING READINESS

Initial evaluation and treatment of upper extremity injuries in children frequently occur in an emergency department (ED). Injury to a finger, hand, or wrist that caused pain or swelling develop from a tear, overuse, or an injury. Working directly with children, and while providing incite to the parents/guardians, OTFPL provides problem-solving skills and methods to optimize the child’s development.
