Today is national handwriting day! Handwriting is often a goal area in occupational therapy. It involves several skills such as fine motor strength and coordination, hand dexterity, motor planning, visual-motor skills, visual perceptual skills, and executive functioning. When handwriting is hard, working with an occupational therapist can help uncover the barriers and turn working on handwriting into fun, engaging, and regulating activities that build confidence and task persistence along the way.
