"In her famous TED talk, the late Rita Pierson said, "Every
child deserves a champion; an adult who will never
give up on them, who understands the power of connection
and insists that they become the best they can
possibly be." In Handwriting Brain-Body Disconnect,
Cheri Dotterer makes it clear that she is that champion
as she navigates you through the maze of dysgraphia.
This journey of understanding took Cheri many years,
so you are not left to figure this it out on your own. Her
personal insight and practical advice ensure you won't
go it alone. Cheri shares her story about how she personally
navigated this process. She's lived it. Now she
makes sure you know exactly what steps to take.
This book is about more than finding a way to help
with dysgraphia. It's about finding a way for all of us
to work through our "invisible challenges." Unlocking
dysgraphia is just a result when you care for those you
serve.
Cheri's content is clear, concise, and an easy read
for parents, and it's packed with content for therapists

and teachers. Cheri wants you to see results, and these
steps will get you there.
I'm excited for you because in my conversations
with Cheri about learning differences, I know the content
in this book will give you the answers you've been
seeking. As an educator for over 20 years, I am passionate
about finding ways for all children to learn. I believe
this content will give parents hope that their children
will be able to do far above what they even believed
possible."

"Cheri gives us a much-needed resource for children
who struggle with written expression,
and for the parents and teachers who work with them.
Her unique and in-depth perspective sheds new light
on a very misunderstood phenomenon."
-Cristina Urban, MS, OTR/L,
parent of a child with dysgraphia
"An eye-opening resource! Cheri presents the information
in such an understandable and flowing manner
for parents, teachers, and therapists. She breaks down
and explains the types of dysgraphia with the focus on
building those "neural pathways". I also appreciate
her transparency with sharing her own struggles."
-Jorge Ochoa, OTR/L
Cheri is an exceptional speaker and a very good
communicator. Truly enjoyed her presentation and
everyone was enlightened by her knowledge of
Dysgraphia. Working on a hands-on activity during
her speech set the learning process in motion for the
group. We will invite Cheri back.
