Hi Reader,

In an age of tablets and keyboards, you might be wondering: Does handwriting still matter? The answer is, yes!

Handwriting isn’t just about forming letters—it strengthens memory, fine motor skills, self-expression, and even emotional regulation. Research shows that kids who write by hand retain information better, develop stronger problem-solving skills, and build confidence in communication.

But what if your child struggles with handwriting? Weak core muscles, fine motor challenges, and sensory processing differences can all make writing feel frustrating. The good news? With the right support, every child can improve.

💡 In my latest blog post, I explore:

• Why handwriting is still a key skill for learning and development
• Common handwriting challenges and how to spot them
• Simple OT strategies to build handwriting success at home
• How tools like the “alternative pencil” can support written communication for children who need different access methods
