OP here. Thanks for the recs for Todd Misura. He was at the top of my list to call. I'll have to check my OT benes again, but I'm sure this type of service was excluded. Gosh - not only do I have a high deductible plan ($3200), it won't cover the things I actually need for my child. (But that's a whole other topic.)

I do see I mistyped one of the therapist's names - it should be Rachael Makar, not Rachel Maka.

Todd Misura is a wonderful teacher and a very nice guy.l

My son saw Todd Misura through his school for over a year. Very nice guy, very knowledgeable - he works as a trainer for HWT. My son liked working with him and made a lot of progress.

FWIW, our sessions with him were reimbursed by insurance under our OT benefit.

Has anyone used these Handwriting without Tears specialists in MoCo?

Nicole Taylor - Gaithersburg
Rachel Maka - Potomac
Todd Misura - Potomac/Rockville
Tracy Hensley - Potomac/Rockville

I'm not interested in using insurance (not covered). Getting support through MCPS seems highly doubtful. But my son has dysgraphia, whether or not MCPS agrees with me, and we need to get some intervention in place. He does not seem to have any other OT issues.

I'm interested in any feedback on these specialists - from quality of tutoring/success with your child to price to any formal policies they have (esp. regarding runny noses, etc.).

Many thanks.
