About this book

Discover Tools and Techniques to Develop Motor Skills  
Do children in your class struggle with holding writing tools comfortably? cutting with scissors accurately? completing self-care tasks such as dressing and using eating utensils?
This practical guide, written by a pediatric occupational therapist, equips you with the tools to empower children’s fine motor development! Inside, you’ll discover:
  • Age-specific milestones: Gain insight into typical fine motor skill progression for children from toddlers to preschoolers to early elementary students.
  • Ready-to-use activities: Integrate engaging, developmentally appropriate exercises into your lessons to address key skills such as grasping, writing, and visual perception.
  • Differentiation strategies: Tailor activities to meet individual needs.
  • Classroom adaptations: Learn how to modify seating, tools, and tasks to create an inclusive learning environment that supports all abilities.
  • Collaboration tips: Partner with families and therapists to provide seamless support for children’s development.
Perfect for early childhood educators and special-education teachers, Fine Motor Foundations includes valuable resources for toy recommendations, skill-based activity lists, and downloadable materials to empower children, build their confidence, and develop their skills.
