Services Squish Kids – Cleveland offers for handwriting
Squish Kids – Cleveland supports children with handwriting difficulties through targeted fine motor and handwriting interventions. Fine motor therapy focuses on strengthening the small muscles in hands and fingers through purposeful activities, such as threading beads, using tweezers to pick up small objects, and practising pencil grip with specially designed grips or adaptive equipment. Handwriting-specific sessions address letter formation, pencil control, and writing speed through structured practice combined with sensory preparation. For example, children might engage in hand strengthening exercises using therapy putty before handwriting tasks, or use weighted pencils to improve pressure control and letter consistency. Squish Kids – Cleveland also incorporates multi-sensory approaches, such as finger painting or sand writing, to build confidence and fine motor awareness. Many families access these services through NDIS funding (2025–26 pricing), which can cover occupational therapy sessions when handwriting difficulties impact daily functioning. An occupational therapist will assess your child's specific needs and develop a personalised plan to support their writing development and school participation.

About handwriting
Handwriting difficulties are one of the most common reasons families seek paediatric occupational therapy. Writing draws on many skills — fine motor control, posture, visual-motor integration, attention, and the ability to translate ideas into letters on a page.
