Handwriting Support at Grow & Tell — Across NSW
Grow & Tell in Across NSW lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for handwriting.
Services Grow & Tell offers for handwriting
Handwriting difficulties in children often stem from underlying fine motor challenges, which Grow & Tell 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 Grow & Tell, our occupational therapists work with children using evidence-based activities tailored to their individual needs. These might include finger strengthening exercises using theraputty or tweezers to pick up small objects, hand-eye coordination activities such as threading beads or completing puzzles, and pencil grip training with adaptive pencils or grips to promote proper positioning. We also incorporate sensory experiences like sand writing or textured letter tracing to build awareness and control. Many families access Grow & Tell's services through NDIS funding (2025-26), which can cover occupational therapy sessions when handwriting difficulties impact a child's participation in school and daily activities. Our therapists collaborate with parents and teachers to ensure strategies are reinforced across home and classroom settings, supporting your child's writing development holistically.

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 long does it typically take to see improvement in my child's handwriting?
Progress varies depending on your child's age, the underlying cause of their difficulties, and how consistently strategies are practised. Some children show noticeable improvements within 4–8 weeks, whilst others benefit from longer-term support. Grow & Tell will establish realistic goals with you and monitor progress regularly through observation and assessment.
Can occupational therapy help if my child has been diagnosed with dysgraphia or another condition?
Yes, occupational therapists can support children with various conditions affecting handwriting. However, occupational therapists cannot diagnose conditions like dysgraphia, autism, or ADHD—that requires a medical professional. Grow & Tell works alongside your child's doctor or specialist to provide targeted therapy that addresses the motor and sensory aspects of writing difficulty.
Will my child's therapy at Grow & Tell be covered by NDIS?
If your child has an NDIS plan and handwriting difficulties are identified as impacting their participation in education or daily activities, occupational therapy may be a funded support (2025-26). We recommend discussing your child's needs with your NDIS planner or Local Area Coordinator to confirm eligibility and plan allocation.
