Handwriting Support at Little Steps — Across NSW
Little Steps in Across NSW lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for handwriting.
Services Little Steps offers for handwriting
Little Steps supports children with handwriting difficulties through targeted occupational therapy that addresses the underlying skills needed for effective writing. Our handwriting service focuses on developing fine motor control, hand strength, and pencil grip through practical, play-based activities tailored to each child's needs. Examples of interventions include finger strengthening exercises using theraputty and tweezers to pick up small objects, pencil control activities such as dot-to-dot patterns and pre-writing strokes, and postural work to ensure proper sitting position and arm stability during writing tasks. Little Steps also addresses sensory processing and coordination challenges that may impact handwriting performance. Many families access our handwriting support through NDIS funding, and our team can work with you to identify relevant goals within your child's plan for the 2025-26 funding year. We recognise that handwriting difficulties can stem from various developmental factors, and our occupational therapists conduct thorough assessments to understand your child's specific needs. Whether your child struggles with letter formation, writing speed, or the physical effort required to write, Little Steps provides evidence-informed strategies to build confidence and independence in this essential skill.

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 can I tell if my child has a handwriting difficulty that needs support?
Signs include difficulty holding a pencil, illegible or inconsistent letter formation, slow writing speed, hand fatigue, poor posture while writing, or reluctance to engage in writing tasks. Little Steps can assess your child's handwriting skills and identify any underlying difficulties with fine motor control, strength, or coordination that may be affecting their writing development.
Can occupational therapy help if my child has been diagnosed with dysgraphia or another condition?
Yes, occupational therapy can support children with various conditions affecting handwriting. However, occupational therapists cannot diagnose conditions like dysgraphia, autism, or ADHD—this requires a medical professional. Little Steps works collaboratively with your child's doctor or specialist to provide therapy that addresses the functional handwriting challenges your child experiences.
How does NDIS funding work for handwriting therapy at Little Steps?
If your child has an NDIS plan, handwriting support may be funded as part of your plan goals for 2025-26. Little Steps is NDIS registered, and our team can discuss how handwriting therapy aligns with your child's plan and help you understand funding arrangements. We recommend checking your plan details or contacting us to explore how we can support your child's handwriting development.
