“I brought my 10 yr old son to see Marla because despite all my best efforts, his handwriting was well below grade level, and his frustrations with writing were becoming a source of anxiety for him. Through her engaging therapy techniques, his handwriting dramatically improved in just a couple of months. She has a remarkable ability to integrate whole body balancing and exercise techniques with a variety of fine motor activities to develop and strengthen muscle tone. I never realized how seemingly simple things like posture and muscle tone would have such an impact on handwriting. Marla always did a wonderful job of explaining what her therapy would include and what her goal was for my son. My son would actually get excited about going to his sessions because she made them so much fun! I highly recommend Marla and A+ Handwriting!”

10 Year Old Son
When our daughter, Rose (6), started showing odd signswhile learning to read and doing handwriting, we were at a loss.After listening carefully to our concerns, Marla gave her an evaluation and we were amazed at how thorough it was! She discovered midline issues we didn’t even know existed and continued by helping us understand visual loss, auditory processing disorder and disgraphia. She handled our numerous questions with ease and even recommended some books to help us. Rose has been in session with Marla for a few months and she loves it. She can’t wait to do her “homework” during the week and constantly tells us how much fun OT is! We have seen a huge improvement in such a short time. Rose has gained control of her visual loss and the consequences for her reading and handwriting have been tremendous. Marla is very kid oriented and we have seen her challenge Rose but is always encouraging and supportive. We are very grateful for her knowledge and experience as our daughter’s occupational therapist.

“Just a note to say my son, a high school senior, is one of Marla’s students for handwriting. He has had many therapies over the years and he has progressed further under Marla’s direction than any other therapist. I was afraid his handwriting was irreparable by the time he reached high school but I was wrong. Miss Marla has given us hope! ~ Suzann “

Marla has been a great fit for our daughter Leah. She goes out of her way to find activities that both challenge and engage Leah. We are seeing our daughter have more interest in her handwriting at home and her grip is improving. Marla is very knowledgable and is always giving me suggestions for little tips and tricks to do at home. Marla is kind and caring, yet makes Leah work hard – exactly what she needs! ~Jen

“My son has been working with Marla for several months. His handwriting was illegible and we discovered that there are physical reasons for that. He enjoys his sessions with her and we have seen improvement in his handwriting skills. Marla always includes fun activities for the him to do so that he feels like he is playing instead of working and her gentle manner makes him comfortable. I recommend Marla to anyone with a child needing help with their handwriting.”
