Handwriting is more than just putting words on paper — it’s a complex skill involving motor coordination, spatial awareness, and language processing. Dysgraphia is a specific learning difficulty that affects writing ability, and it can cause frustration for both children and adults. Here’s how Mindful Beings Occupational Therapy can help.

Many parents struggle to get their child to pack away toys without a battle. The good news? Packing and unpacking toys isn’t just about tidiness — it’s a skill. As Occupational Therapists, we break this skill down into manageable steps so children can learn it confidently and consistently.

Parents often tell us, “I just can’t get my teenager motivated!” The truth is, motivation is unreliable. Even adults don’t feel motivated to do chores or tackle boring jobs all the time. The secret isn’t to wait for motivation — it’s to build a routine. At Mindful Beings Occupational Therapy, we work with teenagers and families to create habits that help get things done, even when motivation is nowhere to be found.
