Individual Nature-Based Handwriting Tutoring Sessions on Our Hobby Farm
Beginning September 22, 2025, “Write” Here on The Farm is offering one-on-one handwriting tutoring in a peaceful, nature-based setting on our hobby farm in Nowthen. As a pediatric Occupational Therapist with 20+ years of experience, I provide targeted, evidence-based support for children who need help developing the foundational skills for confident, legible, and efficient handwriting.
Services Include:
- Explicit Handwriting Instruction – Direct, structured teaching of letter formation, spacing, alignment, and writing fluency using multisensory methods.
- Fine Motor Development – Activities to strengthen hand, finger, and wrist muscles for better writing endurance and control.
- Posture & Core Stability – Strategies and exercises to support upright sitting and proper writing posture.
- Pencil Grasp Training – Gentle guidance toward an efficient, comfortable grasp that reduces fatigue.
- Visual-Motor Skills – Practice integrating visual perception with motor output for accurate, well-formed letters.
- Sensory Processing Support – Tailored approaches for children who benefit from movement breaks, tactile input, or calming strategies. Instruction will focus on a multi-sensory approach to handwriting.
- Nature-Based Activities – Incorporating natural materials, outdoor movement, and farm experiences (daily living tasks involving nature, farm animals, and outdoor experiences) to build skills in a motivating, real-world context.
Session Details:
- Format: Individual sessions, 45 minutes each
- Frequency: 1–2 times per week

This unique approach combines the therapeutic benefits of Occupational Therapy strategies with the calming, engaging environment of the outdoors—helping children not only improve their handwriting but also build confidence, attention, and joy in learning.
