Fine Motor Delays

Fine motor delay involves difficulty with small muscle movements, typically in the hands and fingers, causing struggles with tasks like writing, fastening buttons, or using utensils. Common signs include poor coordination, frequently dropping items, and avoiding tasks like coloring or cutting. Causes range from weak muscle tone and developmental conditions to prematurity. Our Occupational therapist can help your child overcome these challenges through fun activities such as strengthening exercises like squeezing putty or using tweezers.
