Fine motor skills

Difficulties with handwriting or drawing can be attributed to poor fine motor skills. In combination with various handwriting and accuracy techniques, sessions to improve fine motor skills can improve many aspects of a child’s life, from tying their shoe laces to eating their dinner.

Some children find simple tasks such as holding a pencil or cutting paper extremely difficult and can become frustrated when they are unable to complete tasks effectively. Our fine motor skill programmes are designed to be fun and functional: Simple resources and games played on a regular basis to ensure measurable improvement.
