🧩 7 Signs It’s Time for an Occupational Therapy Evaluation
As parents, we all want our children to feel confident, capable, and happy in their everyday routines — whether that’s getting dressed, writing their name, or making friends on the playground. But sometimes, certain skills don’t come as easily as we expect. That’s where occupational therapy (OT) can help.
Are You Worried About Dysgraphia?
Dysgraphia is a neurological condition that affects a child’s ability to write legibly and make it readable. It basically impacts handwriting, spelling, and organizing thoughts on paper, often making writing tasks more challenging than their peers, despite normal intelligence and adequate instruction. Common signs include illegible handwriting, inconsistent letter formation, floating letters, spacing issues, difficulty with grammar and punctuation, and/or slow writing speed. It may also involve trouble with fine motor skills needed for writing, like the grasp on a pencil, small movements of the hand while writing, and eye-hand coordination.
