Handwriting

An OT can help your child develop the skills they need to express their ideas in writing.

There are many skills needed to handwrite neatly and efficiently and a child may struggle with one or many of them.

An OT can assess which particular aspects of handwriting your child is having difficulty with and then work with your child to develop these skills.

 

So how can Blossom Rural support your child in these areas?

Our Occupational Therapists can address the many components of handwriting, including:

  • Letter formation and addressing reversals

  • Visual perceptual and visual motor integration skills

  • Legibility, letter sizing and line placement

  • Generating and organising ideas

  • Handwriting speed

  • Pencil grasp and control
