What is Micrographia?
Small handwriting also known micrographia is a symptom of Parkinson's disease. Micrographia is a common symptom of Parkinson’s disease and is referred to as a prodromal symptom because it is a symptom that indicates the start of a disease. Although micrographia often appears before any other symptoms are noticed, it is one of the last symptoms many living with Parkinson’s disease learn of. Additionally, bradykinesia is the slow movements that are characteristic of Parkinson's disease which also impacts repetitive movements, including writing, making the act of writing slower and smaller over time.
Very limited information on micrographia is readily available to the public. Since 2014, we have worked closely with people living with PD to understand micrographia and through research have developed techniques that work to improve this symptom. Today, Creative Neurology is the ONLY Internationally acclaimed and research based organization that provides “Let's Combat Micrographia" Workshops which are proven to improve this symptom in as little as three to six weeks. Our programming is supported by the NIH’s National library of Medicine and featured in the American Academy of Neurology Brain and Life.
The Let’s Combat Micrographia Workshops and Workbooks is a program of Creative Neurology and focus specifically on how to improve small handwriting while increasing confidence in the process of writing. We focus on our internally developed research based methodologies that prepare you to re-learn the art of writing. Our methodology, courses, and workbooks have helped thousands of people with Parkinson’s relearn to write legibly, increase confidence the writing process, and overall increase hand strength.
Our interactive workbooks and workshops are designed to help improve the small handwriting symptom found in those living with Parkinson's Disease. We offer writing tools and courses to provide step by step instruction on how to improve this symptom.
