Playright Can Help Your Child Improve Hand Function, Fine Motor Control and Efficient Handwriting

Services

Feb 26

Do you have trouble reading your child’s handwriting? Does your child avoid writing more than the absolute minimum? Do they struggle with opening containers and operating tools on a daily basis? Do they avoid wearing clothes with small buttons, belts, and tie shoes? Do they complain that they are all thumbs when it comes to dexterous activities?

Find out what underlies those challenges with a functional assessment that can determine an appropriate course of action to assist your child in improving their hand function. Success with these areas of daily function can boost self-esteem and open doors to opportunities that may have previously been avoided.

Fine motor skills develop along with visual motor and cognitive skills, as the brain and nervous system mature. Hand function is essential in performing daily living skills, and helps children to develop more advanced cognitive skills including problem-solving, spatial awareness, laterality, and visual-motor attention and concentration.

Treatment may include specific exercises tailored to address specific functions along with accommodations and modifications to make daily tasks efficient and successful; thus, decreasing frustration and stress. Many creative activities can support the development of hand musculature and coordination, making intervention fun.
