My Services
The below are examples of skills that I can work on with a child and the family to enable that child to participate in their daily occupations. My goal is to learn about your child and help them achieve their goals!
Fine Motor Skills
Fine motor skills are vital for children's development, helping them perform everyday tasks confidently. They involve small hand and finger muscles, crucial for writing, buttoning shirts, and using utensils. Improving these skills enhances hand-eye coordination, concentration, and independence. As children practice, they lay a foundation for future learning and self-sufficiency, leading to success in school and life. Encouraging fine motor development through fun activities boosts their abilities and fosters joy in their growth.
Gross Motor Skills
Having strong gross motor skills is important for children's development and community engagement. Strong gross motor skills boost coordination, balance, postural stability, and confidence, essential for participation in sports, play, and social interactions. As children enhance these abilities, they're more likely to join group activities, fostering belonging and community bonds. Investing in gross motor skills supports physical health and enriches social experiences and personal growth.
Self-Help Skills
Self-help skills are basic abilities that help people take care of their personal needs, like grooming, dressing, feeding, using the bathroom, and personal hygiene. Developing these skills is important for independence, self-esteem, and well-being. Teaching strategies or different techniques in the child’s natural environment enhances the carryover of these skills to everyday situations. These skills also include community outings such as learning to grocery shop or buy an item at a store.
