FINE MOTOR SKILLS
Develop Your Child's Dexterity with Fine Motor Skills Therapy at KOCOON Junior
Fine motor skills play a crucial role in your child's development, influencing their ability to perform everyday tasks such as writing, dressing, and using utensils. At KOCOON Junior, our specialized Fine Motor Skills Therapy program is designed to enhance your child’s hand-eye coordination, finger dexterity, and overall control of small muscle movements.
What Are Fine Motor Skills?
Fine motor skills involve the coordination of small muscles in the hands, fingers, and wrists. These skills are essential for activities requiring precision, like drawing, buttoning a shirt, or holding a pencil. Delays or difficulties in developing these skills can impact your child’s independence and academic performance.
