Document Summary
Fine-motor skills reflect a child"s ability to manipulate and control objects and tools through control of the upper extremities and small muscle movements of the hands. Stability is the ability to maintain a posture against gravity or displacement. Sensory processing is the way a child receives, regulates, and habituates to incoming sensory information. Tactile is the child"s ability to perceive touch to the skin. Ot is an individual who is trained to address physical, psychosocial, and environmental issues that might interfere with a child"s functional independence. Ei"s may also work with ot assistants- main role to assist in the evaluation process, provide input, and implement intervention programs. Fine-motor development is a product of many different factors, including body structure and size, neurological maturity and intactness, sensory processing abilities, properties of objects, and learning opportunities. Neurodevelopmental treatment (ndt) therapeutic practices are used for children with neurological involvement to facilitate improved posture and movement for functional tasks.
