MY TEACHING STYLE

Motor Minds (MM) was created by two Occupational Therapy practitioners with over 20 years each of experience in the public school setting. The MM program was developed over years of working with students with visual-motor impairments & learning difficulties. MM is a sensory-motor based handwriting curriculum created with a child's developmental milestones in mind. MM uses whole body learning and visual supports to enhance handwriting instruction.
