Fine Motor

Fine motor skills are critical to the development of many functional tasks including:

Self-care

Fine motor skills are necessary to button, fasten, tie shoes, manage clothing, manipulate eating utensils efficiently

Academic

Fine motor skills allow children to cut, write, draw, and participate in art activities

Children with delays in fine motor skills lack the ability to coordinate and use the small muscles of their hands. This may limit their ability to participate in academic tasks, and acquire self-care skills. Children with fine motor delays may avoid tasks such as cutting, coloring, writing, buttoning, holding a fork, etc. At Abilities, an Occupational Therapist can evaluate your child’s fine motor skills to determine if fine motor weakness exists. The Occupational Therapist can then begin to implement fun, multi-sensory interventions tailored to your child’s abilities and interests.
