Services Together OT offers for handwriting
Together OT lists fine motor skills as a service area that may be relevant for children experiencing handwriting difficulties. Fine motor development underpins the ability to hold a pencil with appropriate grip, control letter formation, and maintain writing stamina. According to its listing, the clinic may work with children on activities designed to strengthen the small muscles in the hands and fingers, improve hand-eye coordination, and develop the motor planning needed for writing tasks.
Specific activities that clinics typically use for handwriting support include fine-motor exercises such as threading beads, using tweezers to pick up small objects, or manipulating playdough to build hand strength. Together OT may also incorporate pencil grip training and letter formation practice tailored to each child's developmental level. Another common approach involves activities that improve hand stability, such as controlled colouring or tracing tasks that help children develop the precision needed for writing.
Parents should note that handwriting difficulties can stem from various underlying factors, and an occupational therapist cannot diagnose conditions such as dysgraphia, autism, ADHD, or sensory processing differences. If a child's handwriting concerns are significant, assessment by an OT can help identify whether fine motor development, postural control, or other factors may be contributing.
Regarding funding, Together OT's NDIS registration status has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot. Parents interested in NDIS-funded therapy should confirm the clinic's registration status directly and discuss 2025-26 pricing arrangements if applicable.

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 are something an occupational therapist can help with?
An occupational therapist can assess whether fine motor skills, pencil grip, hand strength, or postural control are affecting handwriting. However, an OT cannot diagnose conditions like dysgraphia or developmental coordination disorder. If handwriting is significantly delayed or causing frustration, an initial assessment with Together OT can help identify what factors may be involved and whether therapy could be beneficial.
What should I expect during a handwriting-focused session at Together OT?
Sessions typically include activities designed to build hand strength and control, such as fine-motor exercises with small objects, pencil grip practice, and letter formation work. The therapist may also observe how the child sits and holds the pencil to identify any postural or grip issues. Activities are usually play-based and tailored to the child's age and interests.
Does Together OT accept NDIS funding for handwriting support?
Together OT's NDIS registration status has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot. Parents should contact the clinic directly to ask about NDIS eligibility, current funding arrangements for 2025-26, and any out-of-pocket costs. If the child has an NDIS plan, the clinic can advise whether services can be claimed under the plan.
