fine motor

Sandi:

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. The website address is :

You will find a lot of useful information on here. The OT is separate from

the

teacher. My son was getting OT once a week for a half hour. When I pulled

him last year, I started to do OT with him daily. I am not sure if has

any sensory issues.

( fearful of loud noises, uncomfortable with " tags " on the back of shirts)

those are just

a couple of examples, in any event sensory has a big bearing on fine motor

skills.

I find it helpful for to play with games such as : Don't break the

ice, Jenga,

playing with playdough and putting little toys or such inside the playdough

so can find the piece, anything that really utilizes finger movement.

If you think does have a sensory issue, make sure you bring it to the

attention of the occupational therapist.

You would also want to make sure the sensory is addressed in the IEP.

Did you know that you may have anyone who is close to be part of the

IEP meeting? If you have a nurse come into your home? A family member, who

may spend time with him. Take care
