Gross motor activities -

Gross motor skills are those which require whole body movement and which involve the large muscles of the body to perform everyday functions, such as standing, walking, running and jumping, or sitting upright at the table. They also include eye-hand coordination skills such as ball skills (throwing, catching and kicking) as well as riding a bicycle and swimming.

A child who is behind in movement, strength, and/or balance may appear clumsy or uncoordinated. Occupational therapists help in improving poor balance and coordination skills, improving posture, tone thereby improving overall participation in play tasks and games in school.

Play therapy -

Play is a child’s occupation, play promotes child’s growth and development. A child uses play to build skills needed for every aspect of their development. When a child is limited in the underlying skills needed to play, not only does their functional ability to build with blocks, color, pretend, imagine, and create suffer, but all of the skills they potentially acquire may be limited as well. The focus of Occupational Therapists is meeting the needs of their children so that they can reach functional goals.
