Handwriting

Handwriting evolves as a child develops fine motor skills. A child progresses from being able to isolate the index finger and thumb to grasp objects and food, to scribbling while holding a crayon in a fist, then eventually moving into a more mature grasp for writing. Handwriting difficulty can be a result of decreased core or fine motor strength, decreased coordination, and/or difficulty with visual motor planning.
