Problems in fine motor skills, such as colouring, cutting, writing
Within our practice, we treat children who have problems with fine motor skills. Among these problems you can think of:
- Deviant pen grip
- Abnormal pen pressure
- Problems with (fluent) colouring and drawing
- Problems with cutting
- Difficulty with fine motor skills such as stringing beads, pinboard, Lego/Duplo etc.
- Difficulty with ADL skills such as tying laces independently, putting on/off clothes, handling cutlery
- Writing problems: unclear, sloppy or illegible writing, difficulty writing between the lines or making connections, pain or fatigue of the hand/finger/wrist while writing
We map out these (motor) problems and treat them through active remedial therapy, homework exercises and, if necessary, aids (such as grippers, stetro) can be used at home and/or at school.
