Handwriting Difficulties

Handwriting is a complex skill requiring an intricate interplay between cognitive and motor skills. As children grow, they may need support to manage difficulties with handwriting to assist them to participate fully in the school curriculum. Common problems that may be assessed and managed by an Occupational Therapist include:

  • Legibility and letter formation
  • Difficulty putting ideas to paper
