About this Treatment
Handwriting difficulties can appear in many different ways. Your child may:
- Hold a pencil awkwardly
- Form letters incorrectly or inconsistently
- Reverse letters or write off the line
- Struggle with spacing or sizing
- Fatigue easily during writing
- Become frustrated or avoid writing tasks altogether
Handwriting Without Tears helps address the underlying skills that make writing easier and more enjoyable. This programme supports:
- Pre-writing skills and correct stroke patterns
- Pencil grasp and hand posture
- Fine motor strength in the fingers, hands, and wrists
- Visual perception and spatial awareness
- Letter formation, alignment, and legibility
- Attention, pacing, and writing fluency
Handwriting challenges can affect confidence, participation at school, and even social interactions. Our goal is to help children feel capable, organised, and proud of their written work.
Our Process
1. Handwriting Assessment
We begin by identifying your child’s specific handwriting challenges, motor skills, and developmental needs.
2. Personalised Therapy Plan
Using the Handwriting Without Tears framework, we tailor activities and tools to your child’s skill level and learning style.
3. Play-Based, Multi-Sensory Sessions
Therapy sessions use fun, engaging materials such as wood pieces, chalkboards, manipulatives, songs, movement, and guided writing tasks to build skills in a positive, motivating way.
4. Skill Development & Strengthening
We target key foundations such as:
- Hand–eye coordination
- Grip patterns
- Finger and hand strength
- Core and postural stability
- Visual–motor integration
5. Home Practice Strategies
We provide simple, manageable exercises and routines so your child can continue building skills between sessions.
