Services Your Child's Therapy offers for handwriting
Your Child's Therapy lists handwriting as a service area for children experiencing difficulties with writing skills and fine-motor control. According to its listing, handwriting support typically addresses challenges such as pencil grip, letter formation, writing speed, and the physical coordination required for written tasks at school and home.
Occupational therapists working in this area commonly use targeted fine-motor exercises to build hand strength and dexterity—for example, activities involving threading, scissor work, or manipulation of small objects. Sensory preparation activities may also be incorporated, such as hand massage or textured material exploration, to help children develop awareness of their hands and fingers before writing tasks. Your Child's Therapy may also address postural control and seated positioning, as how a child sits and holds their body affects their ability to write effectively. Letter formation practice, adapted writing tools (such as pencil grips or sloped writing boards), and gradual progression toward age-appropriate writing demands are typical components of handwriting intervention.
For families with NDIS plans, handwriting support may be funded under capacity-building supports in the 2025-26 scheme year, depending on individual plan goals and funding allocations. Parents considering this service should discuss specific goals and funding eligibility with the clinic directly.

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 an occupational therapist help with handwriting difficulties?
Occupational therapists assess factors affecting writing, including pencil grip, hand strength, posture, and fine-motor coordination. Your Child's Therapy may use exercises to build hand muscles, teach proper letter formation, and adapt the writing environment or tools to support the child's learning. The therapist works toward making writing easier and more automatic for the child.
Can handwriting therapy help if my child has ADHD or autism?
Occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD, autism, or other conditions. However, they can address handwriting difficulties regardless of underlying factors. If your child has been diagnosed with these conditions, handwriting support may still be beneficial. Discuss your child's specific needs with Your Child's Therapy to determine how they can help.
Is handwriting support covered by NDIS funding?
Your Child's Therapy is listed as NDIS registered. Handwriting support may be funded through NDIS plans in the 2025-26 scheme year if it aligns with your child's goals and plan budget. Eligibility and funding amounts vary by individual plan. Contact the clinic directly to discuss your child's NDIS plan and available funding.
