Today is World Literacy Day 2025, a day celebrating how literacy can help us build a more peaceful world ✏️

For children, handwriting is a key part of that journey - helping them express themselves, communicate clearly, and engage with the world around them.

Our 1:1 Handwriting Sessions support children with pencil grip, posture, and fine motor control, helping them write with confidence and comfort ✨

Sessions are available throughout the academic year and school holidays at £70 per session, and each one is tailored to your child’s individual needs.

By developing these skills, children aren’t just improving their handwriting, they’re learning to share their ideas, stories, and voices, contributing to a more understanding and peaceful world.

📩 Book a session today: call 0161 532 2524 or email us via info@manchester-occupational-therapy-services.co.uk to secure your child’s place.

As summer comes to a close, many children and parents start thinking about the return to school. For some, this transition can bring excitement and for others, it may feel overwhelming.

Here are a few Occupational Therapy-informed tips to help make the return smoother:

🎒 Reintroduce routines – Start adjusting bedtime, mealtimes, and morning routines gradually.
🧠 Talk about what to expect – Use simple visuals or stories to help children understand what the school day might look like.
🖐️ Practice everyday skills – Encourage independence with dressing, organising a bag, or opening lunch containers.

Every child is different, and some may need extra time and support to adjust. If you think your child could benefit from Occupational Therapy input as they return to school, we’re here to help.

For individuals with sensory processing differences, hot weather can be especially challenging.

We understand how temperature, clothing, and environmental changes can impact regulation. Here are some Occupational Therapy-informed strategies to support adults and children who may struggle in the heat:

☀️ Hydration routines – Use visual reminders or scheduled prompts to encourage regular drinks throughout the day.

🧢 Cooling strategies – Cold packs, cooling vests, handheld fans, or damp cloths on pressure points (neck, wrists) can provide calming sensory input.

👕 Sensory-friendly clothing – Choose light, breathable fabrics without seams or tags that might irritate tactile sensitivities.

🏡 Create low-sensory spaces – Reduce visual and auditory input where possible. A quiet, dim space with access to cooling tools can support regulation.

🕒 Flexible activity planning – High temperatures may reduce tolerance for certain tasks. Plan for additional breaks, shorter sessions, or calming movement activities indoors.

Everyone processes sensory input differently. If hot weather increases dysregulation, discomfort, or fatigue, our Occupational Therapy team can help with personalised strategies to support wellbeing.

1 1:Handwriting Support 🖍️

Did you know the right pencil grip can make a big difference to how your child writes?

The right grip can:
✏️ Encourage correct finger positioning
✏️ Improve control and comfort
✏️ Reduce hand fatigue
✏️ Support sensory needs, dyspraxia or low muscle tone

There’s no one-size-fits-all – that’s why we work with each child to find what works for them. From tripod grips to thumb-wrap guards, we’ve tried them all in our clinic.

Handwriting sessions are available for £70 an hour.
