Fine Motor & Handwriting Support
At Allay Occupational Therapy, we support children and teenagers to develop the strength, precision, and coordination needed for everyday fine motor tasks—from dressing and tool use to handwriting.
Our approach is strengths-based, neurodiverse-affirming, and tailored to each individual’s developmental needs.
How We Support You
Our occupational therapists use playful, functional activities to support:
- Hand Strength & Dexterity – building muscle control for writing, drawing, and tool use.
- Bilateral Coordination – supporting two-hand tasks like cutting, dressing, and typing.
- Grip & Pencil Control – refining grasp patterns for writing comfort and accuracy.
- Letter Formation & Written Expression – helping children produce legible, confident writing.
- Task Endurance & Confidence – improving persistence and reducing frustration in fine motor tasks.
Who Can Benefit?
Reflex integration may be beneficial for:
- Children who find handwriting, dressing, or self-care challenging.
- Students who avoid written tasks or tire easily during fine motor work.
- Children with coordination differences, low tone, or motor delays.
- Neurodivergent learners needing supportive, movement-informed strategies.
What to Expect
We begin with a holistic assessment of your child’s fine motor and handwriting needs.
Sessions are engaging, practical, and designed with family input.
Home strategies are always included to support sustainable progress.
At Allay, we help children grow their confidence and independence—one purposeful movement at a time.
