Parent /Teacher Education

If you are interested in a speaker to offer an interactive presentation on handwriting to your group please contact me. This is offered as a  service to help parents or teachers learn ways to make handwriting fun and successful.  Preschool handwriting/fine motor skill enrichment programs can also be scheduled.

Please e-mail at handwritingstars@hotmail.com  for a fee schedule if interested in services.   Fees are comparable to other types of specialized tutoring.    The services are private pay  (cash or check only) and insurance is not accepted.  Although the instructor is an occupational therapist these services are promoted as handwriting tutoring and not occupational therapy.
