Coordination

A deficit in coordination skills will impact motor abilities.  Some children do not have the required balance to sit in a chair for long periods of time; this makes more physically demanding activities even harder.

Bilateral Coordination-  Coordinating both sides of the body together at the same time.  Examples of activities OT's may engage students in to improve bilateral coordination include:

Drawing circles on the board with both hands at the same time.

Jumping jacks, skipping, or animal walks

Play games like twister or Simon Says

Eye-Hand Coordination- The movement of eye and hand together.  These skills are needed for many school activities.  Eye-hand coordination is important when writing or spacing, and when throwing or catching a ball.  OT's work on many activities to improve this skill.
