Childworks provides focused help with handwriting for children from Year 1 to Year 12. Handwriting is still an important part of your child’s education. Many tests such as Naplan and the HSC include components of handwriting to assess your child. It is important that handwriting is addressed early to receive the best outcomes in your child’s handwriting.
How we can help:
• Your child will be evaluated to see if they are suitable for the ‘Write On Handwriting Intensive Programme’ for children in Year 1-3.
• Complete an assessment to determine whether your child will benefit from Occupational Therapy.
• Occupational Therapists can assess a variety of areas that may be impacting your child’s handwriting including pencil or pen grasp, posture, motor planning, motor control, visual perception, letter/number formation etc. We also look at a range of other factors such as your child’s ability to maintain concentration.
• Create goals with children and their parents and discuss the expected time to achieve these goals.
• Continue reviewing your child’s progress to determine the best outcomes for therapy.
