Great Post! I loved working with special needs children and one little girl in particular had incontentia pigmenti so it was hard doing physical & behavioral therapy with her because she could not control her movements. We used ankle weights, the playground and slide as tools for control and she honestly was making such incredible progress before I left. Thank you for this, I’ll be sure to send the link to her mum. Keep on posting : )

A very informative post! All the methods listed in it I recognized and am familiar with. The OT who works with my son has, and continues to use those methods and we are always on the look out for way to strengthen Cody’s finger muscles and provide him with stability in the environment where he does his homework and writing. He is having great success with a weight on his pencil and the use of three lined paper instead of the two lined that the Handwriting Without Tears series his school uses. He was born at 26 weeks gustation and had some complications related to that but he is thriving and, most importantly, he is happy.
