My son (now 8 and in 3rd grade) has always had OT yet still had/has horrible printing. We saw a HUGE improvement once he started writing cursive. I thought cursive would be a disaster, but it looks at least as good as, if not better than, his peers. I don't know if the OT finally kicked in (ha ha) or if he HAS to slow down for the cursive because it is new. I'm curious to see if his writing gets worse as he gets used to it and starts speeding up. I can't wait until the emphasis is off handwriting and all kids are allowed to type everything. I think good handwriting is a stupid skill, but it is an actual grade on his report card. So DeHe, I have noticed the same phenomenon you have in the school.
