I can help!  I am currently accepting new referrals to assess children's fine motor skills. My clients benefit from one-on-one help in bringing their developmental skills up to speed.

I have created several fun themed treatment sessions for my clients. Just to name a few: Dinosaurs, Star Wars, Superheroes, Lego, Captain Underpants and Fly Guy. Kids work on building their hand skills and on improving their printing skills while having fun.
