Services Kids Matters OT offers for handwriting
Kids Matters OT in Aspley supports children experiencing handwriting difficulties through targeted fine motor and handwriting-specific interventions. Fine motor work builds the foundational strength and coordination needed for pencil control, using activities such as threading beads, scissor skills practice, and manipulation of small objects to develop hand and finger strength. Handwriting services directly address letter formation, pencil grip, posture, and writing speed through structured practice and individualised strategies. Kids Matters OT may incorporate sensory-motor activities—such as playdough manipulation or textured writing surfaces—to improve hand awareness and motor planning. Therapists also work on visual-motor integration, helping children coordinate what they see with what their hands do on the page. If your child is eligible for NDIS funding in the 2025-26 scheme, occupational therapy services can be covered under your plan, making professional support more accessible. Each child's program is tailored to their specific needs, whether difficulties stem from fine motor weakness, coordination challenges, or other factors affecting writing performance. Kids Matters OT takes a collaborative approach, working with families and schools to ensure strategies are reinforced across different environments.

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 do I know if my child needs handwriting support?
Signs include difficulty holding a pencil, slow or illegible writing, fatigue during writing tasks, poor letter formation, or reluctance to write. An occupational therapist at Kids Matters OT can assess your child's handwriting and fine motor skills to identify specific areas needing support. Early intervention often leads to better outcomes, so discussing concerns with your child's teacher or GP is a good first step.
Can occupational therapy help if my child has autism or ADHD?
Occupational therapists can support handwriting and fine motor skills in children with various diagnoses. However, Kids Matters OT cannot diagnose autism, ADHD, or sensory processing differences—these require medical professionals. An OT can work with your child's existing diagnosis to address functional handwriting challenges and build motor skills.
How is occupational therapy funded through NDIS?
If your child is NDIS-eligible, occupational therapy can be included in your funding plan for the 2025-26 financial year. Kids Matters OT is NDIS-registered, meaning you can use your plan funds for their services. Speak with your NDIS planner about including handwriting and fine motor support in your child's goals and budget.
