Online Therapy at The Handwriting Clinic
INFO/REGISTRATION/MATERIALS
The Handwriting Clinic has started online therapy and courses that are therapist driven.
If you are just doing our curriculum, we can start any of our courses 1:1. Sessions will last 30 minutes. We will email materials ahead of time. Parents will need to sit in sessions for younger students (parents will need to be available the last 5 minutes for all students). Students will have some extra practice before the next session. Sessions are weekly or bi-weekly. Cost for a 30 minute session is $50, Cost for a 45 minute session (older students) is $75. Cost for individualized private therapy that is the same – but the student will need an assessment before classes begin. We can do assessments online, therapist directed but a parent will have to provide the materials to the student. Assessments are $150, and include a parent conference.
We are currently accepting new students.
Please download the registration forms and email to the clinic. Instructions are included in the form.

Preschoolers/Kindergarteners/Children with Developmental Delays
If we are doing tongs labs with your child, we recommend that you purchase the following items:
- Cubes: I will send printable tongs labs weekly for sorting, counting, etc – to work on separation of the hand and a tripod grasp.
- ONE of the following:
- Tongs/Sometimes called Tweesers in the catalogs (they actually need two)
- You only need ONE or maybe TWO different ones. Currently they are difficult to find during COVID-19 as the shipping for some items is a month delayed through Amazon. You might already have some tongs at home – look in your kitchen! They need to be smaller than adult ones for the kitchen. Here are some links that might work:
Please do not purchase these tongs: *this brand is in several catalogs. They only work on whole hand skills.
