Online Therapy at The Handwriting Clinic
INFO/REGISTRATION/MATERIALS
The Handwriting Clinic will begin online therapy and courses that are therapist driven, beginning the week of April 6.
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.
