Welcome to Foundations First Co.
Is your child struggling with handwriting — or showing early signs before you've even named it?
Foundations First Co. is a premium, mobile pediatric occupational therapy practice serving Central Tucson and the Foothills. Led by a licensed school-based OT who has spent her career focused specifically on fine motor development, our approach targets the root causes of writing struggles. We use research-backed interventions to build the core, motor, visual, and cognitive foundations your child needs for academic confidence.
Designed specifically for early elementary, homeschool, and ESA families, our Spring Semester package combines weekly 1-on-1 in-home sessions with a robust, customized home programming toolkit.
Spots are strictly limited to 5 daytime openings for our January 2027 cohort..
Our Services
-
Handwriting is often treated as an isolated skill — something to drill with worksheets until it clicks. We see it differently. The way a child's body, eyes, and brain work together to form letters is the foundation of their academic confidence. It deserves real, individualized attention, not a rushed slot in an overloaded caseload.
Foundations First Co. was created because too many families were falling into the gap — kids who needed more support than a traditional classroom could offer, and homeschool families lacking access to specialized therapy at all.
Our mission is simple: to give your child the dedicated, 1-on-1 time they need to build real, lasting fine motor skills, and to empower you with the exact tools to confidently carry that progress home.
-
Handwriting & Letter Formation Explicit, multisensory instruction in proper letter formation, customized 1-on-1 for your child’s specific learning style and academic level.
Fine Motor & Physical Foundations Building foundational hand strength, a functional pencil grasp, and the physical endurance needed for confident, frustration-free writing.
Visual-Perceptual Skills Targeted activities to address the visual processing skills that underlie correct letter sizing, spacing, and alignment on the page.
Sensory Processing & Regulation Understanding how your child’s unique sensory profile impacts their focus, so our sessions—and their home environment—fit exactly how they learn best.
Custom Home Programming Toolkit A comprehensive home program and ongoing parent support, giving you the exact tools and confidence to carry over progress between our weekly sessions.

Specialized, Not Generalist Fine motor development and handwriting have been the core focus of my clinical career — not just one skill among many on a general caseload. You are hiring a specialist who knows exactly how to get to the root of the problem.
Premium 1-on-1 Mobile Convenience Real progress requires undivided attention. I bring the clinic to your living room. 1-on-1 in-home sessions mean you do not have to load up the car or sit in a waiting room, and your child learns in the exact environment where they do their daily schoolwork.
Built for Lasting Progress Research shows it takes consistent, structured work to build new motor habits. My semester model pairs intensive weekly therapy with a customized home programming binder, ensuring progress continues long after the session ends.
Homeschool-Friendly & ESA-Approved Built specifically for the needs of homeschool and ESA families, offering exclusive Monday daytime scheduling and seamless direct pay through ClassWallet.
Designed for Busy Parents As a parent myself, I know the mental load of juggling school, therapies, and family time. That is exactly why I built a mobile practice—to bring premium, effective support directly to you, saving you hours of driving and waiting each month.
Our Services Are Designed For You.
Foundations First Co. offers comprehensive occupational therapy packages designed to follow the academic calendar. For our upcoming January launch, we are offering an exclusive 18-Week Spring Semester Package built specifically for early elementary and homeschool students.
The process begins with a comprehensive pediatric OT evaluation—covering fine and visual motor skills, visual-perceptual skills, and a sensory profile—to pinpoint exactly what is holding your child's writing back and to build their custom treatment plan.
From there, I bring the clinic directly to your living room. Your child will receive weekly 45-minute, 1-on-1 mobile therapy sessions using research-backed interventions that target the physical, visual, and cognitive foundations of handwriting.
Because parent carryover is the key to lasting change, this semester package includes a comprehensive, customized home programming toolkit (your practice binder) and direct feedback at the end of every weekly session, so you always know exactly how to support their progress. We are a homeschool-friendly, ESA-approved provider exclusively serving Central Tucson and the Foothills.
