If someone’s alertness level is too low, they are sleepy or asleep. If someone’s alertness level is too high, they are stressed and agitated. In the US, sensory processing disorder impacts 5-16% of the total population.

Fine motor skills refer to the ability to coordinate movements of small muscles. Fine motor skills directly impact a person’s ability to use their hands, wrists, and fingers in coordination with their eyes. Deficits in fine motor impacts everyday activities like handwriting, grasping small objects, tying shoes, buttoning clothing, brushing teeth, and using zippers.

Activities of daily living are tasks that need to be accomplished every day - grooming, dressing, toileting, eating, and navigating the environment. These higher-level skills are instrumental in your child’s independence. Activities of Daily Living need to be addressed in young children to help them to grow into adults that can function independently in their daily life. Many parents who seek occupational therapy services wonder “How can my child be more independent?”
