My Project
Here at the academy we serve a special population of students on the autism spectrum. Developing fine motor skills is so important to improving their autonomy and independence. Our students are working on improving their hand strength and coordination to facilitate being able to manage clothing, open containers, and hold school utensils like scissors and pencils.
Fine motor development is crucial to student's success at school, we do so many tasks with our hands.
What better way to develop these skills then through play? With games, arts and crafts, and other fun activities we can work on fine motor skills while engaging in play. There is so much research promoting play as an important way to teach skills and improve motor coordination in children. I am so excited to bring these activities to the students that I serve! Thank you for your support!
