Building handwriting skills through
a unique and meaningful brain-body integration process
Creative Handwriting OT at Home Program
Our Creative Brain-Body Approach to Developing Handwriting Skills
The Creative Handwriting program allows children to embrace their creativity while learning and integrating key handwriting skills. With 3 guided modules that cover the entire alphabet, this program is designed to support children in improving their handwriting, fine motor skills, attention to table top tasks, and confidence and self-esteem for learning tasks.
Plus, with its innovative story-telling style, children are guided to develop a meaningful understanding of and connection to letters to improve recognition. And, through a number of creative drawing activities, children get the opportunity to practise the movements that are key to developing strength and skills for handwriting.
This program is currently available on pre-sale. Shipping will begin on 24th February on a first come first serve basis.
For ages 4-10

OT at Home Program Inclusions
Our OT at Home Programs combine 2 complementary aspects: a toolbox of supportive and adaptive resources and an online guided program.
The Toolbox
Your program toolbox is delivered direct to your door and includes a range of resources to support your child in developing their skills at home in line with the online program.
The Online Program
Our therapist-developed program is delivered via the online platform Teachable. The program contains videos and supporting resources to guide children and their supports through each module series step-by step.
Online Program Modules
Includes over 80 guided instructional videos, taking children through the following curriculum.
Module 1: Form Drawing
Including 7 drawing-based activities, this module allows children to explore free-hand drawing with a focus on developing hand-eye coordination, dexterity of the hand and strengthening hand muscles. This module supports children in improving their ability to compare and contrast forms, shapes and lines, as well as their ability to make connections with the world around them through observation skills.
Module 2: Letter Writing
Module 2 of the Creative Handwriting course was designed to foster children’s imagination, improve hand-eye coordination and build their confidence through a process that encourages meaningful connections to letters. This sequence of learning is delivered in 3 separate activities for each letter of the alphabet that are designed to interrelate with one another.
Module 3: Body Integration
In this module, the learning experience of letter formation is further integrated through body and brain connection. By using the physical body, children have the opportunity to create a lasting memory of each letter through brain-body integration activities. Exploring each letter of the alphabet, this module also develops problem-solving skills and provides an opportunity to also build a trusting connection through play between support person and child.
