Research
 

Currently there are two full scale research projects being conducted on The TV Teacher handwriting programs:

1) Bloomsburg University has just completed both their pilot study as well as a full research project which includes data on four Kindergarten classrooms.

2) Texas Women’s University is currently working on a pilot study involving preschool children in a Montessori school.
We expect their reviews to be available in 2012.

 
     
 
If you are a therapist or educator and are interested in conducting a research project using our programs, please read the proposal below, and contact us if you are interested: info@thetvteacher.com
