Handwriting Remediation

Handwriting skills from the basics of letter formation to taking class notes legibly can be extremely difficult for some children to learn.   Our Occupational Therapists uncover the underlying causes of a child’s difficulty in this area.  The child may have weakness, coordination deficits, sensory limitations that do not allow easy control of the pencil, visual tracking deficits or motor planning limitations.  OT’s use a multisensory approach to handwriting remediation that is based on the foundations of hand anatomy, biomechanics and sensory functioning.  Our OT’s are highly familiar with the handwriting programs that are often utilized in your local school district and can be the expert you need to maximize it’s effectiveness.
