What makes Leslie Catlett with The Penmanship Lab LLC a good neighbor?Handwriting isn't just about putting letters on paper—it's a gateway to brain development, improved memory, refined motor skills, and boosted self-confidence. Leslie Catlett, occupational therapist and founder of The Penmanship Lab LLC, joins us to explain why these fundamental skills remain crucial in our digital age, especially for neurodiverse students. Leslie's journey began at the intersection of motherhood and professional expertise. While homeschooling her son, she witnessed firsthand how integrating handwriting instruction dramatically improved his literacy and comprehension. This revelation, coupled with her observation of dwindling handwriting education in schools despite rising special education needs, inspired her to create a service addressing this critical gap. The Penmanship Lab provides individualized, evidence-based coaching for students struggling with handwriting legibility and fine motor coordination. What sets Leslie's approach apart is her deeply personal understanding of parental challenges—having navigated the complex waters of being simultaneously parent, teacher, and therapist. This unique perspective has fostered genuine empathy for families feeling overwhelmed and unsupported in their children's learning journeys. "The Penmanship Lab is not just about neat handwriting," Leslie emphasizes. "It's about building confidence and independence, and shaping those foundational skills needed to succeed academically and just in general." Her services support neurodiverse students, schools requiring additional resources, and homeschool families seeking specialized instruction.
