Handwriting is a often difficult process of managing written language through coordination of the eyes, arms, hands, pencil grip, letter formation, and posture. A child's handwriting can show indication of developmental problems that could impair a child's learning because teachers depend on written work to measure how well a child is learning. Occupational therapists can review and assess the components of handwriting, such as strength, coordination, and fine motor control, and parents can encourage activities at home to support good handwriting skills.

Specific and tailored exercise programs are used to achieve client goals.

An OT looks at how you, as a PERSON, functions within your environment as a whole
