Handwriting Support at More Than Able Therapy — Across WA
More Than Able Therapy in Across WA lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for handwriting.
Services More Than Able Therapy offers for handwriting
Handwriting difficulties often stem from underlying fine motor challenges, and More Than Able Therapy addresses these 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 More Than Able Therapy, our occupational therapists use evidence-based interventions tailored to each child's needs. These may include hand strengthening exercises using therapy putty or resistance tools, pencil grip training with adaptive grips or tripod-style holders, and dexterity activities such as threading, scissor work, and manipulating small objects. We also incorporate sensory strategies, like weighted pencils or textured writing surfaces, to improve body awareness and control. More Than Able Therapy recognises that handwriting involves coordination between vision, fine motor control, and motor planning. Our therapists work collaboratively with families to identify barriers and build skills progressively. Many families access occupational therapy through NDIS funding; if you're an NDIS participant, our team can discuss how handwriting support may be incorporated into your plan for the 2025–26 funding year and beyond.

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's handwriting difficulties need occupational therapy?
Signs include difficulty holding a pencil, inconsistent letter formation, slow writing speed, poor pencil pressure control, or complaints of hand fatigue. Your child's teacher or GP may also suggest assessment. More Than Able Therapy can conduct an occupational therapy evaluation to identify whether fine motor or other factors are affecting handwriting and recommend appropriate support.
Can occupational therapy help if my child has autism or ADHD?
Occupational therapists can support fine motor and handwriting skills in children with various diagnoses. However, occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism, ADHD, or sensory processing differences—that's a medical role. More Than Able Therapy focuses on the functional handwriting and motor challenges your child presents, regardless of diagnosis.
Does More Than Able Therapy accept NDIS funding?
NDIS registration status has not been confirmed. We recommend contacting More Than Able Therapy directly to discuss funding options, including whether NDIS support is available and how handwriting goals might be incorporated into your child's plan for 2025–26.
