Hi, I'm Cherie.
I'm a pediatric occupational therapist, a mom of two, and someone who's spent more than 20 years working in South Florida schools. One of the biggest concerns teachers share with me is children struggling with handwriting — and once kids fall behind on writing skills, catching up gets harder every year. I've seen it firsthand even with my own kids at home.
That's why I created Ready-2-Write — to help parents understand what's really going on when writing is a struggle, and to give kids strategies that finally make it feel possible.
My goal is simple: to take the frustration out of writing. When a child can explain something perfectly out loud but shuts down the moment they have to write it, there's almost always a reason. Once we understand that reason, we can actually do something about it.
I work with kids from Pre-K through 8th grade.
Whatever brought you here, every child gets the same thing from me: patient, individualized support and a plan built around how they actually learn.
I'd love to help you figure out the next step.
