Our Programs

Handwriting without Tears
From grades, pre-K through 6th, “Handwriting without Tears” is the most effective curriculum for teaching handwriting to all children. Letter formulation and cursive handwriting is taught using multi-sensory techniques and development of consistent habits.

Individuals who benefit from this program are those experiencing difficulties in listening, sensory processing, learning, language, reading, attention, memory, social interaction, communication behavior, and cognition.
