Join our fun, supportive handwriting readiness program for young children.
Help your child build the skills they need for writing, learning, and confidence at school.
At Innerlink Therapy, our Ready, Set, Write Program of Support is a small group occupational therapy program designed for children in preschool, kindergarten, and Year 1 who need support with fine motor development, pencil skills, pre-writing, and early handwriting confidence. The program is delivered by occupational therapists within a family-centred, evidence-based practice that supports communication, motor development, emotional wellbeing, and daily participation.

What makes this program different?
This is not just a worksheet-based writing group.
Our program is designed to support the foundations that sit underneath handwriting, including body readiness, hand strength, motor planning, visual-motor integration, and confidence.
