Fine Motor Group

Hands-On Learning: Fine Motor Skills for Youth

This after-school group is designed for children and youth between 10-12 years old and aims to improve/refine fine motor skills essential to daily routines that children may be participating in, such as writing, dressing (laces, buttons, etc.), and using utensils effectively.

Areas such as improving hand and finger strength, grasp, dexterity, and in-hand manipulation skills will be targeted using activities, strategies and tools commonly used in Occupational Therapy sessions. Participants should have verbal communication skills and basic printing skills (i.e. able to print letters and their name independently).

An Occupational Therapy Assistant and an Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) Interventionist will lead the group sessions. A registered Occupational Therapist and a registered Behaviour Analyst will co-supervise this group.
