If your child studies hard but still cannot copy from a whiteboard, write legibly, sit still long enough to finish work, or remember multi-step instructions — the problem is not effort. It is a processing issue. Tutoring repeats content. OT fixes the brain-body systems that process that content. Signs you need OT: messy handwriting despite practice, letter reversals past age 7, avoidance of writing tasks, difficulty cutting with scissors, poor balance or coordination.
