I recently attended a Father- Daughter/ Mother- Son Dance presented by Amazing Kidz Therapy, PLLC. The fundraiser event was to raise money for The Autism Speaks Walk. The children that were in attendance ranged from grades K- 5. The children dressed in their Sunday best dancing to famous artists such as Bruno Mars and Justin Timberlake. The dance floor was rarely empty; at some points more adults were dancing on the floor then the children.

Amazing Kidz Therapy utilizes the Handwriting Without Tears® approach, which includes first learning letter formation with a multi-sensory approach and then progressing to putting pencil to paper. A systematic approach for learning letter formation is utilized to solidify rudimentary skills and then building upon those for more complex writing strokes.
