"I really wish I could talk to an OT about my child"
"I want to show an OT my child's exercise book"
"I think my child's writing is alright but he grips his pencil in a strange way. Should it be corrected?"

This is a two-hour, small-group consult session with Ms Teo Lee Fun, OT, for parents of children with handwriting difficulties.

Parents are encouraged to bring the following to show Ms Teo for feedback:
- Examples of their child's handwriting
- Their child's pencils
- Photos or short video clips for feedback about pencil grip or posture.
