Did you know typing is an important fine motor and visual-motor skill that Occupational Therapists (OTs) can help develop? Typing requires 👇

🧠 Motor planning: knowing which fingers to use and when
✋ Fine motor strength and dexterity: isolating finger movements
👀 Visual-motor coordination: tracking the screen and keyboard at the same time
⏱️ Attention and endurance: maintaining posture and focus

For some children, typing can feel frustrating or tiring — especially if they struggle with hand strength, coordination, or self-regulation.

OTs help break typing down into manageable steps, using fun, engaging activities that target the underlying skills, like:

🎯 Strengthening the hands and fingers
🎯 Building finger awareness and coordination
🎯 Practising posture and positioning
🎯 Supporting focus and pacing through sensory and self-regulation tools

Typing is not just a school skill — it’s a life skill that supports independence, confidence and participation.

Does your child struggle with loud noises, messy textures, or always seem to be “on the move?”

They might be navigating sensory processing differences — and you're not alone.

Occupational therapists (OTs) help children regulate their sensory systems through everyday routines — no fancy tools needed!

From deep pressure during morning hugs to movement breaks during homework, small sensory supports can make a big difference.

🧡 October is Occupational Therapy Month — a time to celebrate how OTs empower children and families to thrive every day.

Want to learn more about sensory processing and how to support your child? Read our latest blog post for practical tips and insight ➡️ https://bit.ly/4hsbAQO

Ready for support? Book with our experienced OT team at Boomerang Health today.

Serving children and families with care, creativity and compassion.

SickKids researchers are committed to advancing evidence-based understanding of Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Recently, the U.S. government made several claims regarding Autism, including a suggested link between acetaminophen use during pregnancy and Autism. These statements were made without presenting new scientific evidence and have caused confusion and concern among families, health-care providers and researchers.

"Science must guide our understanding of Autism, not myths or misinformation," says Dr. Steve Scherer, Chief of Research and Senior Scientist, Genetics & Genome Biology at SickKids.
