About the Creator
Polly Benson
My name is Polly Benson and I am “The OT Handwriting Coach ®”. I’m an Occupational Therapist with over 34 years of experience helping students who struggle with handwriting—not just learning how to write, but learning to love writing. I specialize in supporting neurodivergent learners, reluctant writers, and those with special needs by using themed lessons, sensory tools, and technology to spark engagement. I’m also the creator of LegiLiner®, a handwriting tool that helps make writing practice easier, faster, and more fun for students and educators alike. My goal is simple: help kids build confidence through writing—one line, shape, or sentence at a time. I'm excited to have been selected to be on a new, upcoming TV show called "Legacy Makers". I am leaving a legacy by changing lives of educators, students and parents through my LegiLiners, one rolling line at a time!
