Many children face hidden challenges that affect their ability to write and move easily. Dysgraphia is more than “messy handwriting”—it impacts letter formation, spacing, and organizing thoughts on paper. Many of these struggles come from difficulties with fine motor skills and motor coordination. More writing practice and worksheets are not the answer and only add frustration and anxiety.
Occupational therapy helps these children by strengthening their hands, improving dexterity, and using hands-on techniques to practice letters. Adaptive tools like grips, specialized paper, or speech-to-text can also make a big difference. These supports help children share their ideas, even if handwriting is hard.
At Rise Therapy, we focus on understanding and supporting each child's unique needs. Encouraging movement and balance activities can build the motor skills that support writing and everyday tasks.
If your child has challenges with handwriting or coordination, you’re not alone. Support can make daily activities easier and boost confidence.
