By targeting adults, this book preserves the dignity of those who must "re-learn" the basics of handwriting by providing an alternative to children's workbooks. All tasks are oriented to the adult learner. Cursive writing is easier than printing from motor and perceptual standpoints. Learning cursive writing also diminishes the challenge of having even spaces between printed letters. However,many have requested that the 3rd edition include instructions and visual demonstrations on PRINT writing. We have answered your request!

Review
"Handwriting for Heroes" is an essential tool for the recovery of both body and spirit. Occupational Therapists, Prosthetics and Orthotics professionals, and those recovering from amputation, severe physical injury, or stroke can all benefit from the information and exercises contained in this book. Authors Kathleen E. Yancosek and Kristin Gulick deliver tried and true methods from week one through week six on accomplishing this goal and even include a certificate of completion at the conclusion. --Vicki Landes, Reader Views
The authors have written a very exceptional workbook to help those individuals with dominant-hand problems regain their writing skills. I believe as the authors do, it is important that individuals utilizing this workbook experience positive outcomes. Each chapter is built off the previous one. If a person doesn t understand something, or needs additional help, it is suggested that they go to the website and speak to a therapist. I found the exercises and lessons interesting, easy to understand and use. There are many people who cannot afford therapy for extended periods of time or are embarrassed about the limited use of their dominant hand. This excellent workbook, Handwriting for Heroes, by Yancosek and Gulick, is for them. --Carol Hoyer, PhD, for Reader Views
Developed by two experienced Occupational and Hand Therapists to help you learn to write with your non-dominant hand, Handwriting for Heroes is an encouraging but no-nonsense program for those who are serious about switching dominant sides. Daily and weekly practice assignments, tips for assuring success, and plenty of encouraging words are offered in a framework of adult interests and sensibilities no more first-grade writing tablets and kid-level practice sentences! The workbook is well-organized, clear, and comprehensive. The authors even invite the user to visit their website to ask questions or report on their progress. --Bonnie Pike, Director StepUp-SpeakOut. (a lymphedema support group)

Pros and cons of starting with cursive
By Eleanore Miller
This review will include why I purchased this book originally, and what I believe are the target audience, the program's strengths, and what I believe are the program's weaknesses.
Recently, I went through a period of almost 2 months during which I was unable to use my dominant hand at all. As an educator and inveterate note-writer, I quickly realized my loss. Using my education background, I taught myself how to write using my non-dominant hand. By the time my cast came off and I began working with a hand therapist, I was able to communicate by using my non-dominant hand to write pretty well. At some point, I discussed the program I developed for myself with my hand therapist, and we began to discuss the possibility of writing a paper together. Well, first I had to research the available materials. As predicted by my therapist, there is not much available outside of professional articles and textbooks, most of which focus on the process without providing reproducible materials. So, this book was purchased for research purposes.
In reviewing the book, I found its greatest strength to be that it addressed a problem hand therapists face each day: teaching the adult patient who wants to start with cursive because of a belief that manuscript writing (printing) is for children. For this type of patient, the logic behind building skill and control from the bottom up is irrelevant. This patient cannot get past printing being for children. For this patient, this is an excellent resource.
The problem with this book is that it starts with cursive, resulting is haphazard development of control over the fine motor skills inherent in manuscript writing programs. Tracing and copying of shapes (squares, rectangles, stars, boxes with diagonal lines, etc.) and activities (such as dot-to-dot drawing, speed exercises, coloring in shapes) help to address the development of control, but the logic of building on skills is lost. The result is that fine motor control is less a process of building one skill on another and more a process of covering the skills as one can. Interestingly, the authors claim that "Cursive writing is easier than printing from motor and perceptual standpoints" because it "diminishes the challenge of having even spaces between printed letters." From my position as an educator as well as someone who has gone through the process of generating legible written communication with the non-dominant hand, cursive is not easier because drawing curves (the primary component of cursive writing) is more difficult than drawing lines, both from a developmental perspective and a personal one. "Perception" may refer to self-perception ("printing is for children"), but it certainly does not refer to legibility. Personally, I would rather someone be able to read what I write (perceive my intent), as legibility development of cursive is much more difficult to achieve than legibility of manuscript forms. For an adult who has not suffered brain injury, letter spacing is a function of fine motor control as well as of perceptual feedback.
Although the progression from lines of various lengths and orientations to curves of different sizes and degrees of "closedness" may be tedious at first, it is quick and establishes an ability to control the pencil. Since the various lines and curves are immediately succeeded by the practice of (first) upper-case letters that can be formed with them, the refinement of motor skills is continuous. Movement to lower-case characters and numbers is even faster because all lines and curves are basically no more than smaller versions of upper-case elements. These smaller versions continue the progression of fine motor refinement. For the adult, movement into cursive writing is eased by this progression, since legible cursive writing requires much greater fine motor control than does manuscript writing.
Using traditional methods, my manuscript writing was legible within 2 weeks and "controlled" within 4; cursive writing was legible, with well-formed Palmer-like characters, within 2 more weeks. At the same time, as my fine motor skills developed through handwriting, common tasks such as turning the pages in a book appeared to be eased for my non-dominant hand, and possibly helped with writing control as well.
Careful study of the exercises in this book suggested to me that my cursive would not have fared so well. However, if I were reluctant to learn manuscript first, this book would definitely have helped me.
In all, as with any self-help (or therapist-assisted help) publication, the individual must be considered in the selection of materials. Occupational therapists who face clients who insist on starting with cursive and refuse to work with manuscript forms would find this book very helpful.

i'm no hero, but…
By A. Avery
I just received this book today. I ordered it because I was injured during a shoulder surgery. As a result, I will be without use of my right, or dominance, hand for a period of time ranging from a few weeks to several months. I figured that was enough of a reason to try to learn to write with my left hand. So while I do not fit the profile of the intended user of this book (I am not a hero), I do think it will serve my purposes. I did today's exercises in about an hour. Like other reviewers, I was surprised to see that it has your begin with cursive instead of printing. But I think I understand the logic of that. The book seems to be designed very thoughtfully and credibly. I also like that the sample sentences they give you to write our motivational and aspirational. Might as well transmit a good message to your brain while you're trying to retrain it. I was delighted to see the connect the dots activities… I just wish they were more of them! So I went ahead and bought a kids' connect the dots book. Even if I don't become proficient with my left hand, it will be neat to have this printed record of whatever progress I do make. I am glad this book exists.

Handwriting made easy
By Jackie Paulson
Handwriting for Hero's by Kathleen E. Yancosek
I would like to thank review the book dot com for a free copy for my review.
The workbook is a six week program to teach you how to write left handed. I am right handed and enjoyed each of the exercises. I felt like I was in kindergarten when doing the pages because when I write with my right hand it is so easy but when I write with my left hand it was such a challenge. I loved the challenge and took it on and have to admit that I did it faster than I had expected. I also think that it used my brain in a form that I was not aware I had. If someone has an injury to their hand they can use this book to learn how to write again and this is the first book of the kind published. What a great idea!
I think all doctors' offices, chiropractors, and anyone who helps others with healing from injuries would benefit from this book. Doctors could order in bulk and give them away. I am very impressed with Kathleen E. Yancosek and her idea to publish this one of a kind book on handwriting.
