Write Sensations LLC

Pediatric occupational therapy (OT) helps children develop the skills they need for daily life. We focus on meaningful activities or "occupations", which for children, this often includes self-care, play, and learning. At Write Sensations, we specialize in supporting children who struggle with fine motor skills—those small, precise movements of the hands and fingers that are essential for tasks like writing, cutting, drawing, and manipulating objects.

I am an occupational therapist (OT) and a certified handwriting instructor. I use my expertise in motor skills and sensory strategies to support handwriting development. I focus on developing and improving foundational skills for handwriting. I provide multi-sensory pre-writing/handwriting instruction as well as remediation to increase handwriting legibility, efficiency, and confidence through personalized instruction tailored to each student’s needs.

Write Sensations LLC operates as a cash-based business and does not bill insurance directly. This allows us to provide high-quality, individualized care without the restrictions often imposed by insurance companies. This ensures that your child receives the best care tailored to their needs rather than what an insurance plan dictates.

My multi-sensory handwriting program is different from traditional handwriting instruction because it engages multiple senses—touch, movement, vision, and even sound—to enhance learning and retention. Unlike traditional methods that rely heavily on paper-and-pencil drills, my approach incorporates hands-on, movement-based activities and sensory-rich strategies to make handwriting more engaging, effective, and accessible for all learners. This method helps build foundational motor skills, improves letter formation, and supports self-regulation, making handwriting a more natural and enjoyable process.

A minimum of six handwriting sessions is recommended to allow enough time for skill development, practice, and reinforcement. Six sessions allow: Muscle Memory Development – Regular practice helps skills become more automatic and efficient. Progress Monitoring – Ongoing adjustments to instruction based on the child’s specific needs and improvements. Confidence Building – Gradual success over multiple sessions fosters confidence and motivation. While some children may benefit from additional sessions, six is the minimum needed to see meaningful, lasting progress.

It is beneficial for all children, whether they need extra support or simply want to strengthen their skills. I help preschool aged children develop the foundational gross motor, fine motor, and visual perceptual motor skills needed for handwriting as well as pre-writing shapes. I also work with elementary aged children to strengthen skills and assist in handwriting instruction for improve sizing, spacing, orientation, fluidity, and overall legibility. I can also tailor the program for older kids who need handwriting support. This program is also beneficial for those who struggle with fine motor skill, sensory processing challenges, ADHD, dysgraphia, or other learning differences.

For dysgraphia, our multi-sensory approach addresses the root challenges of dysgraphia including motor coordination, letter formation, and writing endurance. I also break down handwriting into manageable steps, reducing frustration and improving letter formation. With children with ADHD, I incorporate movement and proprioceptive preparatory activities to achieve optimal arousal for learning and self-regulation, as well as assist in impulse control and task persistence. The use of hands-on activities helps to sustain attention and engagement. Lastly, the use of structured, short tasks with built-in sensory breaks to improve focus. My program is also designed to support children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and neuro-divergent children by addressing their unique needs in a structured, engaging, and sensory-friendly way. Our sensory-rich program helps regulate the nervous system to improve focus, supports sensory processing differences, and enhances engagement. Each session provides structured and predictable learning with use of visual schedules, step-by-step demonstrations, and clear expectations to help support learning and make the child feel more comfortable.
