Is your child a MAKER, a CREATOR, or an ADVENTURER?

(a.k.a. Can handwriting actually be fun?)

Yes—it really can be! Our Handwriting Club offers three new 8-week tracks designed to meet children exactly where they are—through creativity, movement, building, and OT-supported foundations. Each track strengthens handwriting skills and the motor, sensory, and cognitive systems children need to succeed in school. If traditional handwriting practice has felt frustrating or boring, these tracks were designed for your child. Below is a quick overview to help you find the best fit:

​

TRACK 1 — MAKERS Lab

• Best for: Kids who love Legos, crafting, STEM, or building things

• Vibe: Engineering • Constructing • Hands-on problem solving

• Focus: Hand strength, bilateral coordination, pencil grasp, spatial awareness

• Examples: Lego blueprints, cardboard construction, mini-tool tasks, build → label → write

MAKERS track strengthens foundational motor skills for handwriting through high-interest maker activities—perfect for kids who learn best by doing!

 

TRACK 2 — CREATORS Studio

• Best for: Kids who love art, design, stories, and creative projects

• Vibe: Arts + writing • Crafting • Imagination

• Focus: Letter formation, spacing, sequencing, visual-motor skills

• Examples: Poster design, card-making, comic panels, weaving + labeling, controlled art strokes

CREATORS track blends functional handwriting practice with expressive art—ideal for children who love to create or do best when handwriting is embedded in meaningful projects.

​

TRACK 3 — ADVENTURE Camp

• Best for: Movers, sensory seekers, imaginative kids, or reluctant writers

• Vibe: Movement • Missions • Story adventures

• Focus: Core/posture, regulation, fluency, line adherence, confidence

• Examples: Treasure maps, superhero grip training, sensory circuits, secret missions, escape-room writing

ADVENTURERS track uses whole-body movement and storytelling to make handwriting motivating and accessible—especially for kids who need support with regulation, endurance, or confidence at the table.

 

All tracks include:

• Handwriting Without Tears®, a developmentally appropriate and multi-sensory curriculum for writing instruction. 

• Structured OT-led lessons

• Letter formation, sizing, and spacing practice

• Fine motor warm-ups

• Visual-motor strengthening

• Built-in motivation through project-based learning

• Pre/post assessments to track growth

 

When is HANDWRITING CLUB?

Handwriting Club meets weekly for 8-week sessions on Tuesdays afternoons for 50 minutes. Handwriting Club sessions are scheduled from 5:00-5:50pm. In the summer, we offer weeklong "Intensives" that are daily Monday through Friday. These are geared towards back-to-school readiness. 

​

Is my child the right age for HANDWRITING CLUB?

6 to 9 year-olds are welcome at Handwriting Club. We use Handwriting Without Tears®, a developmentally appropriate, multi-sensory curriculum for writing​. 

 

Where is HANDWRITING CLUB?
Handwriting Club takes place at our indoor/outdoor OT therapy studio located at 1137 S Point View Street in Los Angeles. Because we use both indoor and outdoor spaces, please dress for the weather, and plan to get messy. We strongly recommend socks for indoor activities and closed-toed shoes for outdoor activities. Please send your child with a hat and sunscreen already applied.

​

How many kids are in a HANDWRITING CLUB?

Groups are limited to ensure at least a 2:1 student-to-teacher ratio. That way your child receives individualized attention while reaping the benefits of an exciting group experience.

​

Does my child need to be in Occupational Therapy (OT) to benefit? 

No way! These groups are designed both for children with identified needs and those who are looking for a fun way to strengthen skills. Our clubs are thoughtfully designed to meet and celebrate our different strengths, interests, and abilities.

 

Who leads HANDWRITING CLUB?

All groups are led by a pediatric occupational therapist along with a graduate-level occupational therapy student and a team of talented assistants. Together, we offer a creative, collaborative approach to writing instruction that combines extensive experience with Handwriting Without Tears®. Our team-based approach to learning ensures personalized attention. 

 

Do you offer parent training to the grown-ups?

Yes, we do! Our "Fine Motor Fun and Function" workshop is offered via Zoom. It is open and free for parents, caregivers, and educators with a child who has participated in Handwriting Club. ​ We learn about fine motor development and skills for school success. The workshop includes strategies and plenty of fun games to play at home. 

 

How do you track progress during HANDWRITING CLUB?

Each child will be briefly assessed at the beginning and end of each Handwriting Club to track individual progress. At the end of the club, you will receive a detailed progress report that includes: 

• Tailored recommendations to ensure carryover and success at school

• Tools and games to build fine motor skills at home

• Suggestions for next steps and follow-up, as needed

We are available to schedule a check-in meeting with your child's parents, caregivers, or educators (via Zoom or phone) to discuss your child's progress at any time. Please note that standard rates for OT apply to meetings like this in 15-minute increments because this is not included in the club fee.

​

How much does HANDWRITING CLUB cost?

This group costs $800. Because the group experience is an important part of Handwriting Club, we do not offer a daily rate. Your registration for the group is complete when payment is made by credit card via our client portal. Your payment includes a $100 non-refundable deposit. ​For a full description of our policies, including fees, attendance requirements, and insurance, please see our Fees and Office Policies.
