History
Established in 2017.
Founded by an Occupational Therapist. The Penmanship Lab was created as a result of the de-emphasis of handwriting instruction in mainstream education. With the increased use of technology, many of our children will lack a skill set that affects their functionality in the world.
Incorporating handwriting instruction in my homeschool curriculum has improved my sons' fine motor control, the ability to retain information, increased comprehension, proper pencil grasp, and legibility.
