What is Fine Gross & Motor Skills Training?

Fine and gross motor skills training focuses on enhancing the coordination, control, and strength of a child's movements, both small and large. In our training programs at Early Autism Services, participants learn about the significance of fine motor skills, which involve precise movements of the hands, fingers, and wrists, as well as gross motor skills, which involve larger movements of the arms, legs, and torso. Through a combination of educational resources, hands-on activities, and practical strategies, participants gain the expertise needed to assess, plan, and implement interventions that promote the development of fine and gross motor skills in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

Unlocking the Benefits of Fine Gross & Motor Skills Training

Fine and gross motor skills training at Early Autism Services offers a multitude of benefits for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). By enhancing fine motor skills, individuals can improve their dexterity, handwriting, and ability to manipulate objects, leading to  increased independence in daily activities.

Similarly, developing gross motor skills fosters improved coordination, balance, and physical fitness, empowering individuals to engage more fully in social interactions and physical activities. Through our training programs, caregivers, educators, and professionals gain the knowledge and skills to facilitate the development of these essential skills, ultimately enhancing the quality of life for individuals with ASD.
