Handwriting Support at OTS: AAAS — Across NSW
OTS: AAAS in Across NSW lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for handwriting.
Services OTS: AAAS offers for handwriting
Handwriting difficulties in children often stem from underlying fine motor challenges, which OTS: AAAS 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 with consistency and speed.
At OTS: AAAS, therapists work with children using a range of practical activities tailored to their needs. These might include finger-strengthening exercises using therapy putty or tweezers to pick up small objects, hand-eye coordination activities such as threading beads or completing puzzles, and pencil grip training with adaptive equipment like pencil grips or sloped writing boards. Therapists may also incorporate sensory activities—such as sand writing or textured letter tracing—to help children develop better awareness of hand position and movement.
OTS: AAAS can discuss how NDIS funding (2025-26 arrangements) might support ongoing therapy if your child is registered, though registration status should be confirmed directly with the clinic. The occupational therapists work collaboratively with families to identify practical strategies that transfer into everyday writing at home and school, helping children build confidence and independence with written tasks.

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, slow or illegible writing, hand fatigue, poor letter formation, or reluctance to write. An occupational therapist can assess your child's fine motor skills and writing patterns to determine whether therapy would help. They cannot diagnose conditions like dysgraphia or ADHD, but can identify specific skill gaps and recommend support strategies.
What should I expect during a session at OTS: AAAS?
Sessions typically involve assessment of your child's current abilities, followed by tailored activities targeting fine motor skills and handwriting. Your therapist will explain what they're working on and suggest strategies you can practise at home. Sessions are play-based and age-appropriate, making learning engaging for children while building the skills they need for writing.
Can NDIS funding help cover occupational therapy for handwriting?
If your child is NDIS-registered and handwriting difficulties are identified as a support need, therapy may be funded under your plan. Contact OTS: AAAS directly to confirm their registration status and discuss how funding arrangements for 2025-26 might apply to your situation.
