I’m Jan McCleskey, MA, OTR, an occupational therapist passionate about empowering children to develop strong fine motor skills. With over 19 years of experience as a school-based OT and as the owner of The Handwriting Clinic in Plano, Texas, I’ve dedicated my career to creating engaging, effective tools for therapists, teachers, and parents. My work focuses on supporting students who struggle with handwriting and fine motor challenges through activities like Fine Motor Centers, Occupational Therapy Activities, Scissors Skills, Tongs Skills, Pencil Skills, Coloring Skills, Letter and Number Reversal Programs, and Picture-Word Build-a-Sentence resources. These tools, including our First Strokes Handwriting Programs, are specifically designed to make learning accessible and fun, for all children including those with learning differences.
At The Fine Motor Store, you’ll find a wide variety of fine motor products designed to build foundational skills in young learners from preschool through 3rd grade. From First Strokes Handwriting Products—a multi-sensory handwriting curriculum trusted by clinics and schools nationwide—to adaptive writing and differentiated sentence-building activities, each resource is thoughtfully crafted to promote learning fine motor skills. Our fine motor products, including tongs, coloring, pencil, and scissors activities, make developing hand strength and coordination fun and achievable for every child.
With several hundred products available for scissors skills, hand development, writing, special education, and occupational therapy, The Fine Motor Store is a trusted resource for those working with children. Every product has been developed based on experience working with students at The Handwriting Clinic. I’m excited to share these tools with you and help your students thrive!
