T.OT FINE MOTOR CAMP
At T.OT Fine Motor Camp, we use a multi-sensory approach in teaching our T.OTs ( 3 - 11.5 years old in age) those critical foundational skills needed to THRIVE in school:
​
-
Fine Motor (Pencil Grasp, Scissor Skills)​
-
Visual Motor (Handwriting)
-
Sensory Regulation (Sensorimotor Activities)
After being a school-based occupational therapist for nearly a decade, I found myself wondering:
What would happen if I used my expertise in pediatric occupational therapy with children who do not necessarily qualify for OT, but may benefit from OT based interventions to help them learn?
The Verdict: The results and rate of growth in the T.OTs I have worked with during my T.OT Fine Motor and Sensorimotor Camps have been astounding!
