Changes: Occupational Therapy Services for Children presents:
Fine
Motor Spring Camp in April 2019
A four week fun and interactive camp
for children in grades 1 - 3 who find printing 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 lower case letters, legible printing, copying shapes
and letters, using school tools (pencils, 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 will be provided.
This camp will use a multi-sensory
approach combining fine and gross motor movement to enhance learning. Parents
are encouraged to attend the first of the four 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.
