  2. INTRODUCTION Most children are active in their early years of childhood when they play around with other kids of the same age, interact and become friends with other children.

Developmental Delay: If your child is facing developmental delays, that is, unable to reach age-appropriate milestones like other children, take special note of these. Sitting, crawling, walking etc. must be done at an appropriate age, if not get professional help.

  4. Fine Motor Skills Difficulties: Fine motor skills are the small activities done with our fingers, toes, wrists etc. like holding a pencil, using scissors, drawing pictures, handwriting etc. If your child faces difficulty in doing these simple tasks, he/she might need assistance. Troubles with Gross Motor Skills: Children with gross motor difficulties will face troubles in body movements, muscle coordination, strength, body balance etc. If you spot your child with difficulties relating to the coordination of different body parts, unbalances, clumsy movements etc. make sure to consult an occupational therapist.

  5. Sensory Processing Problems: Children with sensory processing issues are either over-sensitive, who overreact to sensations like sound, touch, smell etc. or under- sensitive, who seek out sensations by touching everything. These signs of over-reaction and not feeling anything upon touch must be taken into consideration. Inability to Focus: Children with ADD (Attention Deficiency Disorder) have extreme difficulty in concentrating in classes, completing homework etc. they are unable to focus and get agitated easily.

  6. CONCLUSION If you happen to notice any of these signs, it is better that you get advice from the best occupational therapy in Dubai, so as to get a professional opinion. If they say it can be rectified with home treatment and suggest a few tips, try to include them in your routine for the benefit of your child.
