#11 Unlocking Fine Motor Success: The Key to School Readiness and Achievement

  • Summary

  • In today’s episode, Ruth dives into the world of fine motor skills—What they are, why they matter, and how they play a crucial role for neurodivergent children as they start school and progress through their educational journey. She explores why many neurodivergent kids find fine motor tasks challenging and may even try to avoid them. Ruth also shares practical tips for parents struggling to find an occupational therapist (OT) and offers simple, effective activities and materials you can use at home to help your child become school-ready.

    While Ruth isn’t an OT herself, her extensive experience working alongside them in schools has given her valuable insights into what fine motor activities are both enjoyable and successful for the children she works with.
