OT tip for working on pinch strength in functional tasks- Use clothes pins in PLAY activities to isolate different pinch positions. Tip to tip, pad to pad, lateral pinch (key pinch), 3 jaw chuck...these are various pinch strengths that we can measure with a dynamometer to get actual numbers. AND, we can focus on the function and look at the daily tasks that use these pinch positions.
Here is information on these pinch positions, and activities to support pinch strength: https://www.theottoolbox.com/clothes-pin-pinch-grasp-exercises/

He didn’t just graduate with honors—he redefined what success looks like for the neurodivergent. 🙌

"Occupational therapy and play go hand in hand. There is a reason why you’ll often see kids playing as part of their OT sessions: Play is the primary job of children!

A family walks into an Occupational Therapy clinic for the first time. With a quick look around, the child notes swings, gym mats, ramps, balls, bins of toys, and shelves of bubbles, games, and toys. It looks more like a play room than a clinic. Even the school-based OT, with their suitcase on wheels has containers with toys, mini erasers in fun colors, balloons, small-scale games, and toys…in a school where it seems there is no time for play!

OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY AND PLAY

There is a reason that pediatric Occupational Therapy centers on play. Play is the most essential occupations of childhood and it’s a natural medium for achieving goals and prompting kids to work toward goals that may seem lofty, unnatural, or hard.

Occupational Therapy goals are often included in pediatric OT interventions as the actions that come with play work to achieve the underlying areas needed for play as well as other areas of function."

The stages where handwriting develops...

Every child is unique and different when it comes to handwriting. However, here are some stages that may be helpful when looking at a child's writing milestones:

In this article, you will discover skills to practice for each performance milestone, such as:

1️⃣ Offering crayons and paper frequently for consistent exposure to handwriting tools
2️⃣ Build their muscle strength in their hands and fingers by offering squeeze bottles to grip
3️⃣ Provide many opportunities for writing and coloring with different utensils like chalk, markers, dry erase boards and many other options.
4️⃣ Use tracing sheets with numbers and letters. Continue building hand strength by offering play dough to play with.

Let's talk about stimming.

The autistic community advocates that stimming behavior is a self-regulatory coping mechanism, and efforts to control this behavior could have negative effects for autistic people. Research exploring stimming from the autistic perspective supports this position and suggests these behaviors are actually incredibly beneficial.

There is a long history in both research and clinical practice, of efforts to reduce, minimize or eliminate stimming behavior in autistic people.
