Writesteps Pediatric Occupational Therapy

Our 9 year old son has been going to Writesteps for six months and not only has his handwriting improved but so did his general fine motor coordination skills. He had a great baseball season which we think probably had a lot to do with the activities Danielle had him do. Danielle also was able to spot an eye problem that was treatable. The specialist she sent us to was amazed and said most occupational therapists and/​or pediatricians would have missed it. What is perhaps most important is that our son loves to go there. That encourages him to really put in the required effort. We highly recommend Writesteps.

My 9 year old son has had difficulty with his writing since Kindergarten. We thought as he got older and his hands got bigger and stronger, he would outgrow his difficulties. It became apparent when he was in 3^rd grade that he was spending too much time thinking about how to form and write his letters and that it was slowing him down. Not knowing where to go, I asked some friends and searched on the internet. I was so happy when we found Danielle. Not only is she close to our home, but she is absolutely wonderful. In just a few short months she has helped my son tremendously. His writing has greatly improved — even his teachers have noticed the difference — as has his approach to writing. He does not dread it as he once did. Danielle is extremely warm and encouraging with him and has made writing fun. I strongly recommend her services for anyone who has a child with writing challenges.

Our daughter adores Danielle. Danielle Schulman is an exceptional Occupational Therapist. She has made our daughter feel incredibly comfortable and at home throughout the years. More importantly, our daughter has grown, learned, and responded to Danielle beyond our expectations. Our daughter looks forward to attending sessions and my wife and I are constantly amazed with the results. Danielle is unique. Because Danielle took a brief sabbatical, we were left with no other choice but to use some alternative local resources (including Rady Childrens Hospital). The results were less than desirable. Danielle’s talent to innovate and think outside the box is astounding. She has an innate ability to understand where our daughter’s strengths and weaknesses are. Each session is customized according to our child’s progress. Therefore, every lesson is relevant to our daughter’s academic needs, temporary challenges and individual concerns. Danielle has gone out of her way to include herself as part of a team that assists us in our daughter’s progress. She has reached out to our daughter’s teachers, conferred with them and made certain she knows what is happening with our daughter inside and outside of the classroom. We highly recommend Danielle for any child’s occupational therapy needs.
