Gross motor skills in occupational therapy (OT) refer to the larger body movements that use the arms, legs, and trunk. These skills are essential for participation in everyday childhood activities like playing, moving around safely, and building independence.

Incorporating the thematic unit of Community Helpers into speech-language pathology sessions serves to expose children of all ages to a variety of career paths that may spark their interest. This approach also supports vocabulary development, as each profession introduces specific terminology related to its field. The SLP can present tools, uniforms, and real-world scenarios that community helpers use in their daily work. Children are often excited to interact with these items, which deepens their understanding of the roles and occupations. These lessons also encourage engagement by allowing children to draw upon their prior knowledge and personal experiences with community helpers. Additionally, the theme promotes pretend play and helps build important social and communication skills in a meaningful and enjoyable context.
