  4. Sensory Integration Sensory processing or sensory integration refers to how our body receives, understands, and uses information from the senses. One component of this process is sensory integration, which includes interpretation, coordination, and organization of sensation. Efficient sensory integration enables us to plan appropriate action and behavior and learn new skills. • Sensory Modulation: Refers to the nature and intensity of our reactions to sensation. • Sensory Discrimination: Sensory discrimination is the ability of the nervous system to identify the type and quality of sensory input, such as the size and shape of an object, the direction of a noise, and the position of our body as we move through space, and then interpret this information for the development of motor skills.

  5. SELF REGULATION Self-regulation is our bodies ability to attain, maintain, and change arousal appropriately for a task or situation. (Williams & Shellenberger, 1994, p 1-5) It is our ability to manage your own energy states, emotions, behaviors, and attention, in ways that are socially acceptable and help achieve positive goals such as maintaining good relationships learning and maintaining wellbeing.”

  6. Handwriting Occupational Therapy for Handwriting refers to the mechanical parts of the actual act of forming letters, numbers, strokes, lines or simple/complex figures to demonstrate graphomotor skills. Below outlines the mechanical aspects of handwriting. • Memory: Remembering and writing dictated letters • Orientation: Orienting or facing letters in the correct direction. • Placement: placement refers to a child’s ability to place their letters, numbers, words or sentence on a baseline or whether they float his/her letters and numbers well above the bolded 1/8 or 1/16 of an inch margin of error depending on their respective age or grade expectations. • Size: A sizing error occurs when a letter or number is formed larger than the margin of error, which is 1 grade level below the current.

  7. Fine & Gross Motor Gross Motor or Bilateral Motor Coordination Skill: Gross motor skills involve the large muscles of the body that assist with sitting upright, walking, kicking, running, and jumping. Gross motor skills are dependent on muscle tone and muscle strength. Gross motor skills include: • Posture • Locomotion • Balance • Coordination • Strength • Endurance • Body awareness Fine Motor Skills: Fine motor skills are the small movements that occur in the hands, wrists, and fingers. These small movements work in conjunction with the eyes. Fine motor skills involve the following: • Dexterity: Quality or ability of movement. • Eye-hand coordination: The coordination between hands and eyes to work in conjunction with one another. • In-hand manipulation: ability to shift items within hands and fingers. • Grasp and precision patterns: Ability to hold or manipulate items. • Bilateral coordination: The hands ability to work together.
