[quote=Anonymous]DS has hypotonia, sensory-motor dyspraxia and weak visual-motor coordination. Hand and upper body strength are a real issue for him and he is also just a bit clumsy with ordinary tasks. Of course he persists when working with things like Legos, but not so much with other things. He goes to weekly OT and I have asked the therapist for ideas on what he can do at home, but I would like to hear suggestions from parents. Of you have a child like this, what things do you do at home to build strength, improve VM coordination, etc.? I would love to hear what has helped your kids in real life, outside of the OT setting. Thanks! [/quote]
