Handwriting Support at Cross Care — Across NSW
Cross Care in Across NSW lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for handwriting.
Services Cross Care offers for handwriting
Handwriting difficulties in children often stem from underlying fine motor challenges, which Cross Care addresses through targeted occupational therapy support. Fine motor skills—the precise movements of fingers, hands, and wrists—are essential for holding a pencil correctly, controlling pressure, and forming letters consistently. At Cross Care, our occupational therapists work with children to strengthen these foundational skills through practical, engaging activities. Examples include threading beads or small objects to build finger dexterity, using adaptive pencil grips and writing tools that promote proper hand positioning, and completing fine motor exercises such as cutting, playdough manipulation, and hand-strengthening games. We also assess how a child sits, holds their pencil, and manages the physical demands of writing. Many families access Cross Care's services through NDIS funding (2025-26 pricing arrangements), which can cover occupational therapy support for eligible children. Whether your child is struggling with letter formation, writing speed, or pencil control, our team develops individualised plans to build confidence and improve handwriting outcomes.

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 occupational therapy help my child's handwriting?
Occupational therapists assess the underlying skills affecting handwriting, such as fine motor strength, hand-eye coordination, and pencil grip. Cross Care uses targeted activities and strategies to build these skills, helping your child write more easily and legibly. We also look at posture, seating, and the tools your child uses to write.
Can an occupational therapist diagnose why my child struggles with handwriting?
Occupational therapists cannot diagnose conditions like dysgraphia, autism, or ADHD. However, Cross Care's OTs can identify specific fine motor and coordination difficulties affecting handwriting and recommend strategies to support improvement. If diagnosis is needed, your GP or paediatrician can arrange appropriate assessment.
Does NDIS funding cover handwriting support at Cross Care?
Many children access occupational therapy through NDIS funding (2025-26 pricing arrangements). Eligibility depends on your child's NDIS plan and goals. We recommend contacting Cross Care directly to discuss your child's needs and explore available funding options for handwriting support.
