Gross motor skills is an ability requiring us to use our large muscle groups such as the:

😀 Torso
😀 Legs
😀 Arms
😀 Feet

It enables us to perform whole-body movements which involve strength, coordination and spatial awareness. They also helps us to form the foundations for our fine motor skills, body awareness, balance, strength and speed!

Meet the Team! ✋

This time, it's Jane's turn 🥰

Jane works in our clinic and as she says, she loves the peanut. The pizza game is all about getting the child to lie on the floor then pretending they are pizza dough. It is a great calming activity and even us staff enjoy it too! 🍕

Creating a sensory den/quiet and safe space at home or school is relatively easy. It can also make a massive difference for a child's regulation, emotional wellbeing and to just sit and relax for several minutes. 🔕🤫

All you need is a quiet corner, tent (dark and comfortable), sensory tools/fidgets, ear defenders, sensory or peanut or gym ball along with a weighted lap pad or weighted toy/blanket and comfortable cushions (remember to ensure they like the feel of them first).

It is great to have a sensory break as this helps the child to become more regulated so they are less anxious resetting their sensory system.

Do you have a quiet space/sensory den? Send in your pics 📷

Can you remember when it was World Down Syndrome Day on 21st March?

Remember when we said we were going to plant sunflower seeds for the Down Syndrome Sunflower Challenge? 🌻

Well, here are four of our team's exhibits so far! Not bad really are they? 🙂. Did anyone else take up the challenge?

There's more to come from the team!

Did you know that "proprioception" tracks your movement, position and force of actions.

It relies on our sensory receptors in the muscles and joints to help us walk, run and play without having to think about where our limbs are.

Here are just a few signs of poor proprioception:

🔵 Bumping into people or objects
🔵 Uses too much or too little force when throwing, writing, slams doors etc
🔵 Poor balance
🔵 Sensory seeking behaviours ie intentionally crashing into items/people
🔵 Poor posture
🔵 Poor spatial awareness

The activities in our flyer will help these areas and help calm your child 👍
