Handwriting difficulties are one of the primary reasons for a referral to an occupational therapist. Handwriting is also one of the most complex tasks in which children engage. It requires skills in the areas of cognition\, visuo-spatial\, language fine motor and kinaesthetic development. Research has indicated that children who can write well perform at a higher level academically.
