Our daughter struggled to print neatly when she was in primary school and was resistant to writing much at all. Because of her learning disability and other challenges, we enrolled her in educational therapy. The therapy targeting her ability to physically write easily/legibly was very effective! Not only did it improve her printing, but it enabled her to write neatly in cursive! You would never know to look at her printing/writing now that she had ever struggled.

For better lighting, I really like the OttLite lamps. The bulbs they use are high color range index (CRI), so they simulate natural sunlight more closely. They don’t flicker. Most LEDs have an 80 CRI. OttLite bulbs have a 93 CRI so they give your eyes more of the full light spectrum. You can buy them at several stores including Joanne Fabrics and Target, or direct at the manufacturer website.

My headaches and eye strain have gone away when o started using the OttLite lamp. Im planning to buy another from their professional office series that looks more sleek for my work desk.

It makes a big difference.
