Fine Motor Skills
Fine motor skills are essential for everyday tasks like holding a spoon, buttoning a shirt, using scissors, and writing. If your child struggles in this area, you may notice difficulties with grasping small objects, manipulating toys, using utensils, or completing tasks like zipping a jacket or tying shoes. They may avoid activities that require hand strength or coordination, leading to frustration during play or self-care routines. At Dear Moms Therapy, we help children develop the hand strength, coordination, and dexterity needed for greater independence and confidence in their daily activities.
Gross Motor Skills
Gross motor skills involve the large muscles of the body that help with movement, balance, and coordination. If your child is struggling in this area, you may notice difficulty with activities like running, jumping, climbing, or going up and down stairs. They might appear clumsy, have trouble keeping up with peers, or avoid physical play. Challenges with core strength and coordination can also impact posture and endurance for daily activities. At Dear Moms Therapy, we support children in building strength, coordination, and confidence so they can move through their world with ease.
Sensory processing affects how a child interprets and responds to the world around them. If your child is struggling in this area, you may notice signs like sensitivity to loud noises, difficulty with certain textures in food or clothing, seeking excessive movement, or appearing overwhelmed in busy environments. They might have trouble with transitions, display strong reactions to everyday sensations, or seem constantly on the move. At Dear Moms Therapy, we help children regulate their sensory experiences, improving their ability to engage, focus, and participate comfortably in daily activities.
Sensory Processing Skills
School Readiness
School readiness goes beyond knowing letters and numbers—it’s about developing the foundational skills needed to thrive in a classroom setting. A child who struggles with fine motor skills may find writing, cutting, or using school tools challenging, while difficulties with attention and self-regulation can make it hard to follow instructions and stay engaged in learning. Challenges with sensory processing, motor coordination, or social interactions may also impact their ability to participate confidently in school routines. At Dear Moms Therapy, we help children build the motor, cognitive, and social-emotional skills they need for a successful transition to school, fostering independence, confidence, and a love for learning.
Handwriting
Led by expert occupational therapists, our *Dear Writers* program is designed to spark motivation and transform handwriting struggles into successful, confident writing. This unique camp blends proven techniques from various handwriting programs with engaging activities that make learning fun. Perfect for children who lack confidence in their writing or consistently avoid it, our camp uses handwriting supports, fine and gross motor skill development, and engaging multi-sensory activities to help kids build the skills they need to approach handwriting tasks with ease and confidence.
