Fine motor skills are the small movements we use with our hands and fingers for everyday activities like playing, eating, dressing, and exploring. Occupational therapy can support toddlers who are having difficulty with skills such as grasping toys, using utensils, stacking blocks, turning pages, drawing, using both hands together, or manipulating small objects. Through fun, play-based activities, our occupational therapists help toddlers develop hand strength, coordination, and dexterity while building confidence and independence in everyday routines.

Visual motor skills help children use what they see to guide their hands and body during activities. Occupational therapy can support skills such as completing puzzles, copying shapes, building, catching and throwing, drawing, cutting, and navigating their environment. Through play-based activities, we help children develop coordination, body awareness, and motor planning skills.
