School is tough enough when you know how to write. Imagine being one of the 33% of students who struggle with writing letters and numbers. This inability or difficulty is called dysgraphia. Children who suffer from dysgraphia often earn the reputation of being lazy or dumb. However, these children, like all children, want to succeed.

Autorenporträt
With over 20 years of occupational therapy experience, author and mentor Cheri Dotterer is zealous about the how we learn. Pediatrics has always been her passion and love. Her favorite part of practice is seeing the "light bulb" go on in the mind of parents, teachers, and children. Cheri has made it her mission to help parents and teachers inspire children to transform the children's perspective on learning through easy-to-implement techniques teachers and parents can use to improve motivation in the classroom and at home. Cheri brings with her years of research and education. She earned a Bachelor of Science degree in both Biochemistry and Occupational Therapy and later a Master of Science in Occupational Therapy. In addition, she holds a certificate as a Board-Certified Educational Advocate and Neuroscience Coach. Furthermore, she has worked alongside several universities creating unique experiences for OT students and organizations in the practice of occupational therapy through adjunct faculty and guest lecturer positions. Cheri sees the world from a non-traditional perspective. She has a private practice in Pennsylvania and lives with her husband of 27 years, their two children, and their cat, Snowball. Discovering a method of using motion to improve spelling and vocabulary, Cheri is now a Dysgraphia Consultant and author.
