We are members of the National Handwriting Association, the<\/p>\n<p>Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and holds advanced DBS certificates.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>How does the Programme work?<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Our lessons are fun, interactive and supportive as we work directly through the programme.<\/p>\n<p>The initial lesson is for 1hr and involves a baseline assessment and introduction to the programme.<\/p>\n<p>3 workbooks are included along with a pen\/pencil. Other stationary and pens can be purchased through the magic Link website, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.magiclinkhandwriting.com\">www.magiclinkhandwriting.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>During subsequent lessons which are for 40-45 mins, we then go directly through the Programme step by step.<\/p>\n<p>Homework is set after each lesson and is vital as regular practice for 5-10 mins per day is a key factor in achieving our target of neat, legible, cursive handwriting. Parents are encouraged to support their child at home in order to achieve this target as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<p>The programme usually takes 10-12 lessons to complete (or 5-6 double lessons for children over 7 yrs old).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Where and when are lessons held?<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The lessons are held at our Northwood base and we have had children coming from:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Hillingdon<\/li>\n<li>Harrow<\/li>\n<li>Brent<\/li>\n<li>Hertfordshire\/Watford<\/li>\n<li>Buckinghamshire<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Handwriting lessons are held primarily on Sunday mornings with some availability of weekday slots after school.
