			<h3>Audience</h3>

			<p>This workshop is designed for Occupational Therapists and allied health professionals who want to build a foundational understanding of fine motor assessment. It is ideal for clinicians working with clients in paediatrics, rehabilitation, and disability settings, as well as those new to fine motor evaluation.</p>

			<h3>Course Description</h3>

			<p>Fine motor skills are essential to everyday function&mdash;from feeding and dressing to handwriting and tool use. This workshop introduces therapists to the core principles of fine motor assessment, offering practical guidance on observation, task analysis, and identifying barriers that limit participation.</p>

			<p>Focusing on the biomechanical aspects of fine motor performance, the session demonstrates how assessment findings can be applied throughout the OT process to inform functional, client-centred goals. Participants will also be directed to evidence-based models and specialised training opportunities for further learning.</p>

			<p><strong>Please note:</strong> This workshop does not provide specialised training in fine motor assessment or intervention. It serves as an introduction to key considerations and includes references to additional courses and resources for clinicians wishing to extend their skills.</p>

			<h3>Learning Outcomes</h3>

			<p>By the end of this workshop, you will be able to:</p>

			<ul>
				<li><strong>Develop</strong> a baseline understanding of key considerations in fine motor assessment.</li>
				<li><strong>Build</strong> confidence in planning and conducting fine motor assessments.</li>
				<li><strong>Identify</strong> barriers and limitations revealed through assessment findings.</li>
				<li><strong>Translate</strong> findings into functional, client-centred goals.</li>
				<li><strong>Apply</strong> assessment outcomes across the OT process to inform intervention planning and evaluation with clarity and confidence.</li>

Training details

Handwriting difficulties can affect a child&rsquo;s learning, confidence, and participation in school and daily activities. This workshop equips allied health professionals with the skills and strategies to assess handwriting, identify functional barriers, and implement practical interventions that achieve meaningful outcomes for children.

From Assessment to Intervention: Handwriting Basics • On Demand with Verve OT Learning

			<h3>Audience</h3>

			<p>This session is designed for allied health professionals who work with children and young people experiencing handwriting challenges related to motor coordination difficulties, developmental disorders, learning differences, attention and executive functioning needs, or sensory processing differences. The content will benefit clinicians supporting children in educational, community, and clinical settings where handwriting affects participation, confidence, and access to learning.</p>

			<h3>Course Description</h3>

			<p>Handwriting is a complex task that integrates biomechanical, perceptual, cognitive, and environmental skills. When difficulties arise, they can restrict participation in education and everyday activities, requiring therapists to identify contributing factors and implement effective interventions.</p>

			<p>This workshop offers a structured framework for understanding the foundations of handwriting&mdash;from pencil grasp and posture to visual&ndash;motor and executive functioning skills. Participants will learn to use both standardised and non-standardised tools, including the&nbsp;DASH-2, Beery VMI, and&nbsp;DTVP-3&nbsp;to assess baseline skills, legibility, speed, and functional impact.</p>

			<p>The session explores a broad range of intervention strategies, including multisensory and developmental approaches, environmental modifications, and technology supports. Therapists will leave with practical, evidence-informed methods for planning therapy that balances skill development with functional participation, while also considering alternatives such as typing and dictation when appropriate.</p>

			<h3>Learning Outcomes</h3>

			<p>By the end of this workshop, you will be able to:</p>

			<ul>
				<li>Understand the foundations of handwriting, including biomechanical, visual&ndash;motor, perceptual, cognitive, and environmental factors.</li>
				<li>Identify suitable handwriting assessments, both standardised (e.g. DASH-2, Beery VMI, DTVP-3) and non-standardised, to evaluate baseline skills and functional impacts.</li>
				<li>Analyse handwriting performance across domains such as legibility, speed, memory, copying, and dictation.</li>
				<li>Apply a range of intervention strategies, including pencil grasp development, multisensory methods, and both developmental and top-down approaches.</li>
				<li>Plan interventions that consider the child&rsquo;s abilities, classroom demands, and family or teacher expectations, balancing skill development with participation.</li>
				<li>Explore alternatives to handwriting&mdash;such as typing, dictation, and technology supports&mdash;when appropriate for functional participation.</li>
			</ul>

			<p>The Beery VMI helps assess the extent to which individuals can integrate their visual and motor abilities.</p>

			<p>The Short Format and Full Format tests present drawings of geometric forms arranged in order of increasing difficulty that the individual is asked to copy. The Short Format is often used with children ages 2 years to 8 years.</p>

			<p>The Beery VMI series also provides supplemental Visual Perception and Motor Coordination tests, which use the same stimulus forms as the Short Format and Full Format tests.</p>

			<p>These optional assessments are designed to be administered after results from the Short Format or Full Format test show the need for further testing, to help compare an individual&#39;s test results with relatively pure visual and motor performances. (One or both of the supplemental tests may be used.)</p>

			<p>A statistical comparison of results from all three tests can be quickly and easily made on the graphic profile provided in the test booklets.</p>

			<h3>Key Features</h3>

			<p>The Beery VMI is among the few psychological assessments that provide standard scores as low as 2 years.</p>

			<p>The Beery VMI 6th Edition Manual provides normative data from birth to 100 years. The developmental &quot;Stepping Stones&quot; parent checklist focuses on early identification of developmental difficulties in gross motor, fine motor, visual and visual-motor skills in children from birth to 6 years. Standard scores for the visual-motor integration test and supplemental tests are provided for 2 &ndash; 100 years.</p>

			<p>Independent research indicates that the Beery VMI has considerable promise as a tool for identifying Alzheimer&rsquo;s and other forms of adult dementia.</p>

			<p>A culture-free, non-verbal assessment, the Beery VMI is useful with individuals of diverse environmental, educational, and linguistic backgrounds.</p>

			<p>The Beery VMI provides time-efficient screening tools, with the Short and Full Format tests taking only 10&ndash;15 minutes to complete and the supplemental tests taking only 5 minutes each.</p>

			<p>The Short and Full Format tests can be administered individually or to groups. (Individual administration is recommended for the supplemental tests.)</p>

			<h3>Norms</h3>

			<p>The 6th edition of the Beery VMI was standardised in late 2009 and early 2010 on 1,737 individuals aged 1 year to 18 years. The current adult norms remain unchanged from the 5th edition and are based on data collected from 1,021 adults aged 19 years to 100 years.<br />
