Hand writing Support

Handwriting difficulties can affect a child’s confidence, schoolwork and willingness to have a go.

We use the CO-OP Approach (Cognitive Orientation to daily Occupational Performance), an evidence-based, child-centred method that teaches children how to solve their own handwriting challenges rather than just practising letters over and over.

Children learn a simple strategy: Goal – Plan – Do – Check.

  • Goal: your child chooses what they want to get better at, like neater letters, writing faster or fitting words on the line

  • Plan: together we work out what’s getting in the way and come up with a plan

  • Do: they try the plan in real writing tasks

  • Check: they look at how it went and adjust

Because children set their own goals and create their own strategies, they’re more motivated and more likely to use their new skills at school and at home. We also share the strategy with parents and teachers so progress carries over into the classroom.

Handwriting support may include pencil grip, letter formation, sizing and spacing, posture and fine motor skills, writing speed and stamina, and getting ideas onto paper.
