Services Squish Kids – Capalaba offers for handwriting
Squish Kids – Capalaba supports children with handwriting difficulties through targeted fine motor and handwriting services. Fine motor therapy builds the small muscle strength and coordination needed for pencil control, using activities like threading beads, playdough manipulation, and scissor practice. Handwriting-specific intervention focuses on letter formation, pencil grip, and writing posture through structured exercises tailored to each child's developmental level. At Squish Kids – Capalaba, occupational therapists may incorporate sensory strategies—such as textured writing surfaces or weighted pencils—to improve body awareness and control. Other practical interventions include finger strengthening games, hand-eye coordination activities, and visual supports to guide letter formation. Many families access these services through NDIS funding (2025–26 pricing structures), which can cover occupational therapy sessions when handwriting difficulties impact daily functioning. The clinic works collaboratively with families and schools to ensure strategies are reinforced at home and in the classroom, supporting children's 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 needs handwriting support?
Signs include difficulty holding a pencil, slow or messy writing, letter reversals beyond age-appropriate stages, hand fatigue, or reluctance to write. An occupational therapist at Squish Kids – Capalaba can assess your child's fine motor skills and handwriting patterns to identify specific areas needing support. Early intervention often leads to better outcomes.
Can occupational therapy help if my child has autism or ADHD?

If you suspect your child has these conditions, discuss diagnosis with your GP or paediatrician. Squish Kids – Capalaba can support handwriting goals alongside other supports.
