Participation matters!💚 This Occupational Therapy Week, we're celebrating the little steps that make a big difference.

In occupational therapy, play is more than just play- It’s an opportunity to develop the underlying skills children need to take part in everyday occupations. From building hand strength and coordination to developing fine motor skills, activities that may seem simple can have a much bigger purpose.

Skills developed through play can help create opportunities for greater independence, confidence and participation in the things that matter most to children.

Throw, catch, learn! 🪩🎈 Practising throwing and catching can help children to develop hand-eye coordination, motor planning, balance and confidence.
Give children regular opportunities to throw and catch in pairs, small groups or with an adult and change the difficulty by using different sized balls, other items or changing the distance between the players.

For more support with motor skill difficulties including early identification and intervention, sign your school up for our FunMoves training.

Using multi-sensory letter trays encourages children to learn through touch, sight, and movement. By tracing letters and exploring their pre-writing shapes, children strengthen letter recognition, memory, and pre-writing skills in an interactive way. .rcot Birmingham's SEND Local Offer

Shoelace tying can be tricky, but with practice and the right method, children can build confidence and independence.
Whether your child prefers the one-loop or two-loop technique, regular practice helps develop the fine motor and coordination skills needed for everyday tasks.

If your child is sensitive to noise, ear defenders can help reduce overwhelming sounds and support regulation. If they’re new to wearing them, try facial warm-ups and introduce them gradually, starting with short periods in calm environments. Ear defenders are best used for particularly noisy situations rather than all day, so children can continue to experience everyday sounds.

Once your child is settled, offer short breaks in a quieter space and gradually build up time without the ear defenders. When transitioning them out of ear defenders, give them a warning, move somewhere quieter if possible, and allow time to adjust. The goal is to support children to manage noise, not avoid it completely!
