Frequently Asked Questions

Real OT Solutions is a nationally recognized women’s owned enterprise and small business based in Philadelphia, PA.  It’s owner, Dr. Beverly Moskowitz, is a pediatric Occupational Therapist with 4+ decades of experience working with children, schools, teachers, therapists, and related professionals.  Dr. Moskowitz is a nationally renowned lecturer, researcher, and published author.  She is the author of the Size Matters Handwriting Program.

The OT in the name refers both to Occupational Therapy and Outstanding Teaching.

The products sold through ROTS are evidence-based and reflective of best practices according to the American Occupational Therapy Association, the ideals of IDEA, and current educational mandates.

The Size Matters Handwriting Program is an evidence-based concept-driven approach to teaching and remediating handwriting.  Unlike other handwriting instructional programs, the focus is letter size versus letter form.  Research has shown that correction of letter size makes an immediate and visible difference in the consistency and appearance of the written page. Since there are only 3 different sizes in SMHP Manuscript, Size One (tall), Size Two (short), and Size Three (hanging) letters, children catch on quickly. Furthermore, when errors in letter size are corrected, form errors take care of themselves.
SMHP Cursive introduces a fourth size.
