School-based Enrichment Groups

The Point where development, social-emotional skills, and confidence come together.

We offer enrichment groups during and after school in partnership with your child’s school. These small group sessions are designed to strengthen important developmental skills such as fine motor development, gross motor coordination, social-emotional skills, pre-writing and handwriting, and kindergarten readiness. Our goal is to provide children with fun, engaging opportunities to practice and build skills that support classroom success and everyday confidence among their peers.

“Write to the Point”

 

Handwriting is a complex process that draws upon many different skills. It requires motor planning and control, fine motor coordination, visual perceptual skills, ocular-motor skills, muscle strength and endurance, sensory processing, and much more. Occupational therapists at The Point OT screen and address the underlying foundational challenges that may interfere with a child’s pre-writing and writing success.

Our team is trained in evidence-based programs such as Handwriting Without Tears™ and places strong emphasis on strengthening foundational skills. Handwriting groups are designed to support children who benefit from learning in a small, social setting, while still receiving individualized attention to their needs.

Write to The Point small handwriting groups are available as requested and typically include 3–6 children. Groups are organized by age and skill level, with programming tailored to meet the specific needs of participants.
