A 4 week fun and interactive camp for children in Kindergarden
and grades 1 - 3 who find printing, using scissors or other fine motor
activities challenging. The camp will be run by experienced pediatric
occupational therapists. A multi-sensory approach will be used along with
co-operative games and crafts to practice the skills needed for hand
functioning. This camp is designed for children who may be experiencing mild to
moderate delays in fine motor development or who would benefit from extra
practice.
The camp places an emphasis on grasp development, formation
of letters, legibility, review of lower case, copying, using school tools
(scissors, glue) in hand manipulation skills, eye hand coordination and
strength. This includes a summary report identifying individual children's strengths,
areas of need, and suggestions for further skill development.
This camp will use a multi-sensory approach combining fine
and gross motor movement to enhance learning. Parents are welcome to attend the
first of the 4 sessions in order to help their child feel more at ease in the
group and to learn how to support their child with printing practice at home.
