Learning Charms | Charlotte occupational therapy, speech therapy, Mommy and Me, and handwriting tutoring for kids!

Starting this Fall, we will be offering a Mini School for children aged 3 and 4.  The school will be one afternoon a week for 1.5 hours and is for children with excellent academic abilities who are ready for advanced developmental instruction and sensory exploration that will enhance and refine learning skills. There will be a 3's and a 4's class, each with a maximum of 10 students. 

I talk to parents every day who enroll their child for occupational therapy for the first time in order to give their kids a boost in pre-kindergarten skills.  Often, the teachers recommend OT to help with pencil grasp, scissor skills, pre-handwriting, or attention / focus issues. 

I know it is easy to think that these skills will get better, but if you are working with your child and not noticing progress, don't wait any longer to see an occupational therapist.  All of the areas above can be so easy for an occupational therapist to improve...IF caught early.  The longer a child uses, for instance, an inefficient grasp pattern the harder it is to change as it becomes more ingrained.  Feel free to call the office and speak to Stephanie if you feel your child might benefit from some occupational therapy.
