Brittany Simmons to be published in the Open Journal of Occupational Therapy
Brittany Simmons and several of her graduate school classmates completed a pilot study that will be published in the “Open Journal of Occupational Therapy” sometime in the Spring of 2016. The study, "The Comparison of Print and Cursive Handwriting in Fifth and Sixth Grade Students: A Pilot Study” ( Anne H. Zachry, Allison P. Doan, Stephanie B. Lancaster, Brittany Simmons, Cary Smith, and Jaclyn N. Wicker), compares the speed (and other factors) of print and cursive handwriting. The idea for the study was born out of concern that the public schools are moving away from teaching cursive writing.
Brittany is an occupational therapist at Pediatrics Plus and a graduate of the University of TN Health Science Center in Memphis. Congratulations Brittany!

NEW YORK – Today, Too Small to Fail announced an expansion of its current work on early language and brain development to include a focus on early math. This includes new partnerships with and resources for parents and caregivers from ZERO TO THREE and Highlights.
