Occupational Therapy -> Handwriting -> Spatial Awareness

Spatial Awareness

Spatial awareness is used when writing to determine the size of letters, when to move to the next line, how close the letters should be printed, etc. Occupational therapists often provide visual cues or adaptive paper to help individuals increase spatial awareness when handwriting.
