Helping Children Develop Confident & Legible Handwriting Handwriting Assessment

Handwriting Assessment

Supporting Fine Motor Skills & Writing Development

At Milestones Occupational Therapy Services LTD, we provide Handwriting Assessments to identify challenges children may face in writing. Our aim is to offer targeted strategies that enhance legibility, speed, and comfort, making handwriting easier and more enjoyable for the child.

What is a Handwriting Assessment?

Our Handwriting Assessments are designed to evaluate the key skills required for effective writing, including:

  • Fine motor control – Strength and coordination for pencil grip and control.

  • Hand-eye coordination – Precision in letter formation and spacing.

  • Posture and seating – Ergonomic support for writing endurance.

  • Letter formation and spacing – Consistency and clarity in writing.

  • Speed and fluency – Efficient handwriting development.

We work with children who experience handwriting difficulties due to developmental delays, motor skill challenges, and conditions such as DCD, ASD, ADHD, and sensory processing disorders.

Our Process

  1. Detailed Assessment – Evaluating fine motor skills, pencil grip, and handwriting ability.

  2. Customised Intervention Plan – Strategies and exercises to improve handwriting.

  3. Practical Skill Development – Fun and engaging activities tailored to each child’s needs.

  4. Regular Progress Monitoring – Ongoing support to track improvements.
