Real OT Solutions® develops scientifically proven occupational therapy handwriting resources for teachers, therapists, parents, and schools, including the Size Matters Handwriting Program® (SMHP). This comprehensive handwriting curriculum emphasizes size as a key factor in legibility and motor skill development. Explore our handwriting program and discover new ways to foster writing success and enrich learning experiences for children of all ages and abilities. A concept-driven approach, SMHP is adaptable for neurodiverse learners.
The Size Matters Handwriting Program® (SMHP) is the first instructional occupational therapy activity to shift the focus to Letter Size. When students correct errors in Letter Size, they make an immediate and measurable difference in the consistency and readability of the written page. And it’s so easy to teach since there are only three! That’s why we say, "When it comes to neat printing… SIZE MATTERS!”
Everyone can use the handwriting practice books and associated materials: teachers, therapists, related service providers, schools, and homeschooling parents. Our penmanship curriculum is designed to help children learn how to print, starting from preschool. Even adult patients in rehabilitation for CVA, TBI, Parkinson's, etc. have restored handwriting legibility using SMHP.
An Occupational Therapy Handwriting System Adapted for Every User
This handwriting program from Real OT Solutions® is evidence-based, teacher-friendly, and kid-empowering. The handwriting practice concepts and strategies allow handwriting awareness to be integrated across the curriculum in all grades and subjects. The manual task of writing develops and strengthens fine motor skills, visual-motor coordination, and visual perception in preschoolers, teenagers, and struggling adults with diverse abilities, motor needs, and learning challenges. Additionally, writing reinforces reading!
The Size Matters Handwriting Program® is measurable, practical, teacher-friendly, and fun. It is the fastest way to improve legibility, a quality that impacts self-esteem. As such, handwriting activities are a valuable adjunct in rehabilitation.
