Up to what age can the Size Matters Handwriting Program be used? At least 81!

I met Sarah Edlin when she was an OT student at Temple. At the time, she served as an OT mentor/friend to Sam. After graduating, she joined a travel OT organization and practiced physical disability and geriatric OT around the world.  
 
Sarah messaged me a few hours ago about a patient of hers.

Text message about a patient.

Margo had a stroke impacting her right side. The CVA was actually a few years old before she began working with Sarah, Her new OT. Margo was willing to use her non-dominant left hand. The Acorn writing sample shows how she wrote her name before learning anything about the Size Matters Handwriting Program. The Butterfly page is after one session talking about letter size. Margo is 81.
