Handwriting Can Be a Struggle.
Let’s Work on It Together.
Personalized, one-on-one instruction for neurotypical and neurodivergent children, from learning the basics to developing more independent handwriting.
FROM Speech-to-Text Recommendation to Independent Writing
Meet the Learner
1. Establishing Stability and Control
1. Establishing Stability and Control
A kindergarten girl, with low muscle tone, and fine motor difficulties came to us with very limited pencil control. Her school had recommended speech-to-text support.

1. Establishing Stability and Control
We used our WriteBoard prototype to provide visual feedback that encouraged her to rest her hand on the writing surface for stability. The bracelet’s hook guided pencil positioning while we worked on pencil grip for better control.
2. Building Skills in a Developmental Sequence
Following the Learning Without Tears approach, we introduced capitals from simpler to more complex formations. Each new letter built on movements she had already learned.
3. Now Writing Independently
She now writes independently using uppercase letters. We are building on that progress as we introduce lowercase letters.

A boy with level 2 autism, low muscle tone, and fine motor difficulties came to us relying on teacher assistance for all handwriting tasks at school.

The teacher wrote the letters, and the child traced over them, relying on a written model to complete the task.

From Messy Print to Beautiful Cursive
Meet the Learner
A fifth-grade student came to us with handwriting she struggled to read, which was beginning to affect her confidence in writing.
1. Returning to the Foundations
We worked on letter formation, size, and placement on the lines. With focused practice, her print became clearer and more consistent.
2. Finding Enjoyment in Cursive
We introduced cursive to make learning more engaging, practicing the flowing movements and connections between letters.
3. Making Progress in Both Styles
She now writes in cursive. We also saw improvements in print as she applied the skills practiced during our cursive lessons.
