Throughout our rich history, our goal has been to provide the most comprehensive forum for parents, educators, and researchers to share their experiences, methods, and knowledge. www.interdys.org Hawaii Branch of the International Dyslexia Association: http://www.dyslexia-hawaii.org National Reading Panel: http://www.nationalreadingpanel.org/Publications/summary.htm All Kinds of Minds (Dr. Mel Levine): www.allkindsofminds.org Schwab Learning: www.schwablearning.org LD Online: www.ldonline.org National Coalition on Auditory Processing Disorders: www.ncapd.org Handwriting Without Tears: www.hwtears.com Language! www.teachlanguage.com Learning Window: www.arkinst.org Do you have terrible handwriting? Can’t draw? Hate to work with pencil and paper? For people with handwriting challenges and anxiety with paper and pencil, The Learning Window is an uncomplicated tool for motor and visual/spatial problems. The Learning Window is a device used for teaching persons who have problems with handwriting, drawing, and working with pencil and paper. It is a transparent surface on which the learner traces and copies to form letters or pictures. The learner is guided through structured exercises by a teacher who may instruct from either side of the window. Through this process the individual can build a basis for comprehensive understanding of spatial relations which is the foundation for becoming a more accurate, efficient writer and drawer.
