Hand Skills Programme

Specific graded hand activities can be incorporated into the child’s day to develop their hand and manipulation. We also strongly recommend specific areas within nursery are established with activities to target the development fine motor skills for all the children.

The aim is to develop the child’s hand skills towards independence with functional tasks, target their pencil grip and dexterity when handling tools/utensils.

Pre writing programmes -

Programmes will focus on the pre requisite skills of pencil grasp, copying, drawing and physical aspects such as posture. Fun activities can be introduced into many aspects of nursery too ensure all children are ready for formal letter formation at the appropriate age.

The aim is to develop the necessary foundation skills to develop good letter formation.

Many children with learning difficulties will have sensory processing difficulties, causing them to struggle with every day experiences like movement and sound. We will assess and design individual programmes and work with teachers on how to implement these into children's routines.

Testimonials

"Through structure and pushing the boundaries each week we saw a huge change in our son’s relationships with adults and other children. Asking our son about the experience he will tell you that he loves attending Tree Tops because it’s fun and exciting and he can wrestle with the bear in Reception."

"The Think Sensory Not Behaviour Training helped me to think of the underlying cause of many of the behaviours we see in Nursery and lots of positive strategies we can use to prevent them and support individual children.”

"I feel enormously inspired and passionate about implementing strategies to support a wide range of needs for children in our school. I'm excited to work alongside the Tree Tops team!"
