Occupational Therapy supports the development of foundational skills essential for academic success, with a strong focus on handwriting. Therapy addresses pencil grip, hand strength, fine motor control, visual motor integration, and posture—helping children write with greater ease, legibility, and endurance. In addition to mechanics, OTs support organisational skills such as planning written work, structuring ideas on the page, and managing multi-step tasks. Attention and focus are also key areas of support, as many children benefit from strategies to sustain concentration and stay engaged in learning activities. By targeting these interconnected skills, Occupational Therapy helps children approach academic tasks with greater confidence, independence, and success.
