Services You and Me OT offers for handwriting
You and Me OT lists fine motor support as a service for children experiencing handwriting difficulties. Fine motor skills—the small, controlled movements of fingers, hands, and wrists—form the foundation of legible, fluent handwriting. According to its listing, the clinic addresses these foundational skills through targeted activities and interventions.
Fine motor development typically involves strengthening hand muscles, improving finger dexterity, and building the coordination needed for pencil control. You and Me OT may use activities such as threading beads, scissor practice, or playdough manipulation to build finger strength and precision. Pencil grip exercises and pre-writing patterns (like tracing lines or shapes) are common interventions to prepare the hand for formal letter formation. Some clinics in this space also incorporate sensory-motor activities—such as picking up small objects with tweezers or manipulating textured materials—to enhance hand awareness and control.
Children with handwriting difficulties often benefit from a graded approach, starting with gross motor foundations and progressing to fine motor precision. If a child's family is considering NDIS funding, occupational therapy services may be eligible under the 2025-26 scheme, though You and Me OT's NDIS registration status has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot. Parents are encouraged to contact the clinic directly to discuss eligibility, funding options, and how fine motor intervention aligns with their child's specific needs.

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 occupational therapy help with handwriting if my child's handwriting is messy or slow?
Occupational therapists assess underlying fine motor skills—such as finger strength, hand coordination, and pencil grip—that affect handwriting quality and speed. You and Me OT may work on these foundational skills through targeted exercises and activities. Improvement in handwriting typically follows as hand control and stamina improve, though progress varies between children.
Can occupational therapy diagnose why my child struggles with handwriting?
Occupational therapists cannot diagnose conditions like dysgraphia, autism, or ADHD. However, they can assess fine motor skills, hand strength, coordination, and other factors that may contribute to handwriting difficulty. You and Me OT would typically recommend medical or educational assessment if a specific diagnosis is needed.
Is You and Me OT registered with the NDIS, and could handwriting therapy be funded?
You and Me OT's NDIS registration status has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot. Occupational therapy services may be eligible under NDIS funding in the 2025-26 scheme if a child has an approved plan. Contact the clinic directly to discuss registration status and funding eligibility for your child's needs.
