Understanding Handwriting Difficulties The Role of Occupational Therapists Occupational therapists play a crucial role in addressing handwriting difficulties in children. They evaluate a child's fine motor skills, visual- motor coordination, hand strength, and other relevant factors. Based on the assessment, they develop personalized treatment plans to improve handwriting skills. Handwriting difficulties can manifest in various ways, such as illegible writing, poor letter formation, inconsistent sizing, or slow writing speed. These challenges can impact a child's academic performance and self-esteem.
