Services SPOTS offers for handwriting
SPOTS lists fine motor support as a service that may address handwriting difficulties in children. Fine motor skills—the small, controlled movements of fingers, hands, and wrists—form the foundation of legible, fluent handwriting. According to its listing, SPOTS offers interventions targeting these skills through structured activities and practice. Examples of approaches typically used in paediatric occupational therapy for handwriting include finger-strengthening exercises such as threading beads or using tweezers to pick up small objects, hand-eye coordination activities like copying patterns or mazes, and pencil grip assessment with adaptive positioning strategies. SPOTS may also incorporate sensory preparation activities to help children develop body awareness and hand stability before writing tasks. For families accessing support through NDIS funding (2025-26), fine motor therapy can be claimed as a therapy support service. Parents should note that while handwriting difficulties may co-occur with conditions like dyspraxia or developmental coordination disorder, an occupational therapist cannot diagnose these conditions. The clinic's listing indicates it is registered with NDIS, though this has not been independently verified through the directory. Assessment by SPOTS would typically identify specific fine motor gaps and guide individualised intervention planning to support improved handwriting outcomes.

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 does SPOTS assess handwriting difficulties in children?
SPOTS would typically conduct an occupational therapy assessment examining fine motor skills, pencil grip, hand strength, and coordination. The therapist observes the child writing and may use standardised assessments to identify specific areas affecting handwriting. Assessment findings guide the development of a personalised therapy plan targeting the child's particular needs and goals.
Can SPOTS help if my child's handwriting difficulties might be related to autism or ADHD?
SPOTS can address the fine motor and handwriting components of these presentations. However, occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism, ADHD, or other developmental conditions. If diagnostic assessment is needed, referral to an appropriate medical professional is necessary. SPOTS focuses on supporting the functional skills affecting handwriting regardless of underlying diagnosis.
Does SPOTS accept NDIS funding for handwriting support?
SPOTS is listed as NDIS registered, though this registration has not been independently verified. If your child has an NDIS plan, fine motor therapy to address handwriting may be claimable as a therapy support service under 2025-26 funding arrangements. Contact SPOTS directly to confirm current funding arrangements and eligibility.
