Handwriting interventions

[OctopusArmEnvy]

My child has just started year 2 and has been diagnosed with Dyspraxia.
he is reading at Year 3 level and has already completed many Year 2 spellings in Year 1.
I have just been told that he is being put in the Launch the lifeboat reading/spelling intervention program as the teacher cannot read his handwriting. She agrees that both his spelling and reading are excellent but this intervention with easy shorter words will give him chance to work on his handwriting??? In my head a handwriting program such as write from the start would be more appropriate. She has refused and said he has fine motor skills sessions and this reading/spelling intervention and no other handwriting would be useful or necessary.
Am I missing something??? This seems crazy to me. I feel like the lifeboat is an excellent intervention for dyslexia and putting my son on it is akin to asking a dyslexic child to concentrate on their handwriting in the hope that that will help their spellings??
Does anyone have info which might aid my battle that finemotor alone is not enough? Also what have I missed with regards to lifeboat? Is she right???
Thank you!

My son's handwriting intervention was over seen by occupational therapist and programs such as "speed up" were used. You might find some of the motor skills exercises help. If it was me and I'd be going back to your paediatric consultant who diagnosed the dyspraxia for OT input advice.

Same advice as Tainbri. I'd get a recommendation from an OT that fits your child's needs. My DS did an American programme called Handwriting Without Tears (there were some tears) and it was very effective.
