Founded by an Occupational Therapist
The Penmanship Lab is operated by Leslie Catlett MS, OTR/L. Leslie’s educational background and clinical experience equip her to identify and remediate deficits in a child’s handwriting.
MISSION
The mission of The Penmanship Lab is to provide quality handwriting coaching to foster a natural and automatic skill, improve legibility and efficiency while having FUN!
Is Handwriting Coaching WRITE for your child?
Handwriting coaching is a great option for a child who is struggling with handwriting. There are various factors that may be contributing to sloppy or illegible handwriting (i.e. fine motor skills, gross motor skills, visual motor skills, incorrect pencil grasp, and limited instruction of letter formation); all of which can be easily identified and remediated by a handwriting coach.
