Learn Play-Based Motor Interventions from Certified Pediatric Therapists

Did you know that delays in foundational motor skills can show up as emotional, sensory, or behavioral challenges?

Supporting gross, fine, and visual motor development early can help your child or client thrive in and out of the classroom!


You’ll learn easy-to-implement activities for school-aged children, plus red flags to look for when motor delays may be contributing to sensory overload or learning challenges.

We are here to give you the best introductory foundation for improving motor skills through play, whether you're a parent or therapist.

When you support gross, fine and visual motor development, you'll help children with:

  •  Improving handwriting and classroom tasks
  • Increased coordination and bilateral skills
  • Improving ocular motor skills required for reading and writing
  • Improving behaviors that interrupt focus and learning related to poor motor skills
