Balance, coordination, core strength, and stability all are connected. Here are activities and play ideas to support this development...WHY is this important? Before you can have dexterity and coordination in fine motor skills, you need the proximal development of gross motor skills. https://www.theottoolbox.com/the-development-of-balance/

🥰This!

As new parents, we “ooh” and “ahh” at our babies as they gain mobility and independence through crawling. 🐾 Look how cute he is! 😍 Look how fast she can go! 🏃‍♀️ But as pediatric therapists, we see crawling as more than just a cute rite of passage. 🌟

Crawling encourages the development of so many developmental skills including:

– Bilateral coordination 🤸‍♂️ – The coordinated use of both sides of the body together to perform a task.
– Reciprocal arm and leg movements 🦵 – Alternating patterns of movement using both sides of the body.
– Strength 💪 – Crawling promotes neck and core strength, arm strength, and hand strength.
– Balance ⚖️
– Hand-eye coordination 👀✋
– Motor planning 🧠
– Weight bearing through the hands 🖐️
– Integration of primitive reflexes 🧸 – A set of innate and involuntary movements infants make in response to certain stimuli.

Did your baby crawl? 💕

Did You Know your child can have School and Private therapy services!?! 😀 The two actually go hand and hand together - to create a great comprehensive plan of care for your child. ⭐️
⭐️While school therapy focuses primarily on addressing a child's needs within the academic setting, outpatient therapy provides a more comprehensive approach, addressing broader life skills and developmental areas not directly related to schoolwork, allowing for greater individualization and potentially more intensive interventions in a controlled clinical environment; essentially, school therapy helps a child function better in the classroom, while outpatient therapy aims to improve overall functioning across different life situations.
⭐️PlayWorks offers Physical, Occupational and Speech therapy services. Currently accepting new clients - call us Today! 🤩

PlayWorks Pediatric Therapy and Play Gym LLC is a Peidatric Therapy clinc and Play Gym. We are open Monay through Friday fro therapy appoinments. Tuesdays and Fridays we have open Play Gym to the public. Saturdays we are also open for private party rentals.

Great tip! 🤩

This is an old school OT tip from my early days as a school-based OT...Go into your sewing box (told you it was old school! 🤣), grab a serrated wheel (used to transfer markings when making patterns in sewing projects), and add it to your therapy toolbox.

There are so many ways to use this in skill-building:
⚪Create raised lines on paper for line awareness
⚪Make a tactile line for working on scissor skills
⚪Create a raised line border for coloring tasks
