Handwriting tip Tuesday! #tuesdaytips ✨️ loo Handwriting tip Tuesday! #tuesdaytips 

✨️ looking for a trick to help your little one learn to keep their fingers in the right spot when writing? 📝

Place a bumpy sticker near the end of the pencil where the child will grasp the pencil! This provides a tactile prompt and an object to "pinch" to help them maintain a tripod grasp.

First image shows our client without this tool, and the second image shows how helpful a sticker was for him! #tipsandtricks 

Other objects you can place around the end of the pencil to help with positioning: 
✨️ playdo 
✨️ use a pencil grip
✨️ blu tack

Here's how we use the take a break card at our pra Here's how we use the take a break card at our practice ✨️

✨️ explain when and why we use it such as 'you can give this card to me when your body starts to feel frustrated or like it needs a break - then you can go have a break for 3 minutes' (time and activity can be negotiable with clients)
✨️ model how to use it e.g. 'oh boy! this worksheet is hard, my body feels frustrated and I can't think very well. I need a break'
✨️ reward the client for asking for a break 'thanks for telling me what you needed and for giving your body a break'
✨️ establish rules around the card eg 'okay now you've had your break, let's finish the worksheet!'
✨️ look for patterns - if a child is consistently giving you the take a break card during a certain activity, we need to look deeper and ask why. Is this activity overwhelming them, is it too hard for them etc?

Using token charts in sessions and at home ✨️✨️ Token charts are a great way to support motivation and engagement in sessions and at home.

As always, it's super important that token charts are implemented in a person centred, interest based way that considers the needs of a client to engage! Chat to your therapist if you have any questions about these token charts ✨️

Food for thought! Great quote to encourage us to t Food for thought! Great quote to encourage us to think about what's happening in the brain and body when we see BIG behaviours:

"It's not about being a naughty or bad kid.... It's about not being able to match state of arousal with what is happening in the moment." - Genevieve Jereb

Does you know a little one who frequently swap or Does you know a little one who frequently swap or writes with both hands when completing drawing or writing tasks? 

This may be for a number of reasons such as:

✔️ fine motor weakness in one or both hands leading to a reliance on using both hands to write 
✔️ difficulties with fine motor endurance 
✔️ delays in fine motor development 

OTs help by:
✅️ fine motor exercises to support fine motor development 
✅️ task specific practice 
✅️ looking at all the factors that impact handwriting and supporting other areas (such as core strength, visual motor integration)
