Occupational Therapy Workshops

Single-Session Workshops for Children and Parents

Do you want ideas on how to enhance your toddler's development?
Is your school-age child frustrated with every-day tasks such as dressing or writing? Does your child have a difficult time with noises, textures, or transitions?

Come with your child for a fun-filled, informative 1-hour session. You'll meet other parents and leave with great ideas to implement right away! Topics Include:

• Promoting Fine Motor Skills In Your Toddler (12 months to 3 years). Tips to use during everyday activities such as play, bath time and eating.
• Tricks for Handwriting Success (5-10 year olds). Learn easy ways to help improve your child's handwriting while keeping it fun.
• Fulfilling Your Child's Sensory Integration Needs (children, all ages). Learn how to create a well-balanced "sensory diet" to help your child better deal with his environment (sounds, touch, transitions, etc).
• Finger-spelling Fun (5-10 year olds). Use sign language to improve hand use.
• Motor Planning with Origami (4-8 year olds). Learn how the ancient art of folding paper can help improve attention, ability to follow directions, sequencing, hand strength and fine motor skills.

Cost per parent-child pair is $35. Additional siblings pay $30/each.
