Hi there!
With over 20 Years Experience, TES Award Nominated, MSc BSc OT (Hons) Occupational Therapist...
It's Safe To Say I Can Help!
I am Sheilagh, a children’s Occupational Therapist and handwriting expert working internationally, helping fabulous kids every day. And I know a LOT about writing.
I have published books on handwriting. One of these is a best seller. The National Handwriting Association said this book was ‘fantastic’.
I believe writing should not be difficult to learn. It is a skill that should have no boundaries. I can teach you the techniques. I will make learning it fun and easy to do.
When we can write, we can inspire others with our thoughts. More about me
Let me show you how!
For children aged 6 to 16 years
Working with fabulous children, amazing parents and wonderful schools.
What kids, parents and teachers say...
Sheilagh was a Godsend for my son. Patient, delightful and efficient. She gave my son valuable tips that I hope he will take through his academic life. I wish I would have found her years ago because my son's handwriting improved significantly.
Really enjoyed listening to a different OT perspective – inspirational and informative!
Loved everything – I had no idea I knew so little it all completely made sense and I’m excited to take it all back.
My daughter went from zero to hero in a matter of weeks, she is now writing very confidently as well as excelling in her work at school. I highly recommend this course its worth every penny Thank you so much Sheilagh P.S. She misses the Skype calls she has with yourself.
Sheilagh’s Skype lessons proved to be a remarkably effective way of breaking down the ‘handwriting problem’ into manageable parts and working through each part directly with my son.
