Fine-motor skills
Hand use, grasp, coordination and preparation for classroom or self-care tasks.
Occupational therapy
Building skills for everyday participation.
Support for play, coordination, attention, self-care and meaningful daily activities.
When occupational therapy may help
- Fine-motor tasks such as holding tools, drawing or fastening clothes are difficult.
- The child struggles with coordination, balance or planning movements.
- Attention or regulation affects learning and play.
- Everyday routines such as dressing, feeding or school participation are challenging.
- The child avoids activities or needs more support than expected.
Focus on function
Occupational therapy considers what the child needs and wants to do in real life. Assessment helps identify the skills, environment and supports involved.
Areas of support
Motor planning
Activities supporting body awareness, balance and coordinated movement.
Daily routines
Practical strategies to increase participation and independence in everyday tasks.
Start with an individual assessment.
Goals are chosen after understanding the child’s current abilities and routines.
