My Project

I am an occupational therapist working at an elementary school with students in preschool all the way through fifth grade. My students are an amazing group of children who need a little extra help with adaptive paper and pencils to improve their handwriting within the school so that they can read, write, learn, and grow in the school community!

For children, handwriting is such an important skill for reading, learning, and becoming confident to share their own story in the community.

My students often struggle with writing letters and words with the correct size, maintaining letters on the line, and using correct spaces. I utilize a multi-sensory approach to writing using various materials to help my students learn and become successful with their writing. Please help us achieve our handwriting goals this year by donating towards the supplies. These students will be able to use a multi-sensory approach to learning and writing this school year!
