Services Building Blocks Therapy offers for handwriting
Building Blocks Therapy lists fine motor skills as a service area, which is directly relevant to children experiencing handwriting difficulties. Fine motor development underpins the ability to hold a pencil with appropriate grip, control letter formation, and maintain writing speed and legibility. According to its listing, the clinic may address these foundational skills through targeted activities and interventions.
Fine motor work typically involves exercises designed to strengthen the small muscles of the hand, fingers, and wrist, as well as improve coordination and control. Examples of activities that occupational therapists commonly use include threading beads or small objects to build finger dexterity, using tweezers or pegs to develop pinch strength, and pencil control exercises such as dot-to-dot patterns or pre-writing strokes. Building Blocks Therapy may also incorporate hand strengthening tasks using therapy putty, scissor skills practice, or bilateral coordination activities that require both hands to work together.
Children with handwriting difficulties may benefit from assessment and intervention targeting these fine motor foundations. If a child is eligible for NDIS funding under the 2025-26 scheme, occupational therapy services may be covered as part of a participant plan, though Building Blocks Therapy's NDIS registration status has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot. Parents considering this clinic should contact them directly to discuss how fine motor support might address their child's specific handwriting concerns.

About handwriting
Handwriting difficulties are one of the most common reasons families seek paediatric occupational therapy. Writing draws on many skills — fine motor control, posture, visual-motor integration, attention, and the ability to translate ideas into letters on a page.

Common questions
How does fine motor therapy help with handwriting?
Fine motor therapy strengthens the small muscles in the hands and fingers needed for pencil control, grip stability, and letter formation. Building Blocks Therapy may use activities like threading, tweezers work, and pencil exercises to build these skills. Improved fine motor control typically translates to better handwriting legibility, speed, and endurance during writing tasks.
Will an occupational therapist at Building Blocks Therapy diagnose why my child struggles with handwriting?
An occupational therapist can assess handwriting difficulties and identify underlying fine motor or coordination factors that may contribute. However, occupational therapists cannot diagnose conditions like dysgraphia, ADHD, or autism spectrum disorder. If a medical diagnosis is suspected, a referral to a paediatrician or psychologist may be appropriate alongside therapy.
Can NDIS funding cover handwriting support at this clinic?
If a child is NDIS eligible, occupational therapy services may be covered under their plan for 2025-26. However, Building Blocks Therapy's NDIS registration status has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot. Parents should contact the clinic directly to confirm whether they accept NDIS funding and discuss eligibility and plan coverage.
