For two decades, I served as an occupational therapist within public school settings, dedicating approximately half of my instructional time to enhancing handwriting skills. Throughout my career, I've attended all continuing education courses offered by Handwriting Without Tears, for both print and cursive handwriting techniques. Integrating the principles of Handwriting Without Tears alongside my own innovative methods, I strive to cultivate an fun, relaxed environment for kids who find handwriting difficult.
