Whether your child's school has identified problems with their fine motor skills or you have noticed such difficulties yourself, we can help. Childhood development is complex and not all children will move at the same pace, butsome of the most common reasons that a parent will contact us with concerns about their child's fine motor skills include:
- An awkward or immature pencil grasp
- Messy or slow writing, drawing or colouring
- Excessive tiredness after short periods of writing, drawing or typing
- Difficulty when using scissors or performing precise manipulations suchas fastening buttons, zips or shoelaces
- Problems performing self-care tasks independently
- Reluctance to engage with tasks requiring hand-eye coordination such as building Lego
