22.01.2022 Fine motor skills are the skills that involve the use of the wrist, hand, fingers, and thumb. As these develop, they give children the ability to draw and write, eat with a spoon and fork, cut using scissors and dress themselves independently. When children have delays in fine motor skill development, we must take a step back and look deeper. An occupational therapist’s job is to get to the bottom of why fine motor skills aren’t developing in the way they should. This means going back to basics. We must look at foundational skills, also called sensory motor skills. Some examples of these include posture, balance, and hand-eye coordination. If these crucial skills are underdeveloped, that’s where we first place our focus. Follow Marga's in-depth guide to identifying motor skills challenges: https://buff.ly/2DMHJnU

18.01.2022 Halloween is coming! That could spell costume trouble for kids with sensory issues. I’ve worked with a lot of children who are very fussy about particular elements of their clothing. Itchy tags, stiff collars, tight waistbands, and squeaky/swishy fabrics. These all tend to be high on the list of irritations that can trigger a sensory overload for some children. Also, be aware that wearing a costume that makes noise, lights up, or has flopping, moving parts might not be a goo...d choice for a child who will be on edge as it is. Make sure your little one is completely comfortable physically and emotionally. Face paint or scary masks that alter your child’s appearance significantly might just trigger a fear meltdown when he/she looks in the mirror for the first time! (And you might ask the whole family to be sensitive in this area also. Parents or family members looking scary in their strange costume or mask could trigger a meltdown too!) Do a test run or two! #SensoryHalloween #SPDHalloween See more

16.01.2022 "Previous studies have looked at autistic people’s facial expressions as they react to images of social scenes on a computer screen2. The new work, by contrast, is one of a growing number of experiments to capture how facial expressions unfold during ordinary conversation. " https://buff.ly/3luaczJ

10.01.2022 [ARTICLE] Our children's brains go through phases of development that build on top of each other like the foundation of a home. Some parts of construction can't take place until other parts of foundations are laid, while some construction can occur simultaneously. Sensory Phase Sensory Motor Phase Perceptual-motor development Cognitive Development... Thus, it is tricky to compare all of these developmental skills to a specific chart. Learn more about how your child's brain is growing every day and how it relates to their motor skills, attention span, and emotional regulation here: https://buff.ly/3eM1VUW
