Callirobics - Handwriting Exercises to Music

Note: Review only, product no longer for sale.

Improve handwriting, attention to simple tasks, concentration skills, eye-hand coordination and self esteem.

Callirobics are handwriting exercises to music. The objective of the exercises is to bring more balance and harmony to the user's handwriting and life. It is simple, non-threatening, enjoyable, and requires only a short amount of time. Consistent practice of simple graphical forms trains the hand to perform more complicated writing movements, and the eye to focus on details. The accompanying music helps the participants to concentrate on the exercises. Each of the ten sessions includes two handwriting exercises together with two pieces of music. The music is to help in acquiring more rhythm in writing. The kit includes a manual and a double sided audio tape with ten selections on each side. Packed in a handy, clear plastic case.

One great low cost choice is the Touch Screen. It lets users do their dragging, clicking, and double clicking by touching the screen with their fingers! If the child has trouble reaching up to the screen, try placing the Touch Screen on a table or wheelchair tray so that a child can comfortably control the cursor.
