The goal of this class is to offer tailored, one-on-one instruction in handwriting using enjoyable and stimulating games and worksheets to inspire your child's motivation. The focus of the course is to enhance handwriting legibility through personalized instruction. The first session will consist of a handwriting assessment that examines letter formation, line placement, spacing, and pencil grasp. After a brief interactive lesson on handwriting legibility, we will engage in fun activities that practice writing skills. If you have any specific concerns, please feel free to contact me beforehand. A typical class schedule will include: Introduction and Greeting Getting to Know Your Child's Handwriting Skills Assessment (5 minutes) Interactive Lesson on Handwriting Legibility (10 minutes) Handwriting or Prewriting Practice Together (15 minutes) Conclusion and Goodbye After the session, I will provide feedback to the parent within 24 hours. DISCLOSURE: I am an Occupational Therapist. However, these classes are not to be considered occupational therapy treatment sessions and should not take the place of therapeutic interventions. I base my instruction on the Handwriting Without Tears® curriculum and the Size Matters curriculum but also use my own techniques that I have acquired over my 20 years of working directly with students.
Learning Goals
Provide direct instruction in the area of handwriting weakness and make immediate suggestions/recommendations for improvement.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree from University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center
Hi! My name is Stephanie and I was a school-based Occupational Therapist for 20+ years working with children ages 3-21 in public schools. My largest caseload was children ages 4-8 with autism and/or a learning disability.
I am very flexible with my families. If you need to miss an ongoing class, please let me know so that I can refund you for the week. I never want parents to pay for missed instruction! I also offer coupons! Just message me and let me know.
I have completed all of the Learning Without Tears workshops and use this curriculum, along with the Size Matters Handwriting Curriculum. I believe that the best way to teach is to use fun and engaging activities along with humor and silliness to engage with my students.
Feel free to message me with any course ideas you would like me to develop or if you have any questions.
I can teach any of my classes 1:1 through my tutoring sessions.
