Join The Writing Glitch podcast as we dive into the neuroscience behind dysgraphia. In this episode, Teresa Roderiques continues the discussion on Handwriting Brain-Body Disconnect (HWBBD) and explores how the brain’s structures—such as the basal ganglia, cerebellum, and limbic system—play a crucial role in handwriting. We’ll discuss the link between movement, memory, and executive functioning, uncovering how students process writing tasks at a neurological level. Whether you're an occupational therapist, teacher, or parent, this episode offers valuable insights into supporting struggling writers.
