Our Out of the Box Therapy Programs are specially designed by a team of Occupational Therapists at Building Blocks Therapy to create fun opportunities to connect with your child whilst developing their skills.<\/p>\n\n
This program has been designed to create opportunities for children to engage in fun and playful activities that not only support the development of fine motor skills but also foster opportunities for connections. <\/p>\n\n
Fine motor refers to the group of skills involved in the ability to manipulate smaller objects with the hands and fingers, for example, grasping, holding and pinching.<\/p>\n\n
These skills are necessary for many aspects of self-care but they are also critical for the development of emergent writing. See full inclusions below.<\/p>\n\n
