For children ages birth to 5 years. Empower caregivers to take an active role in helping their children develop hand skills. Handprints offers not only activities but also caregiver articles that explain the "how" and "why" of hand development. Written in a conversational and appealing style, they're fun to read! Here are the sections: • Hand Skills and Related Topics: 20 articles that describe hand skills, how they develop, and why each is important. • Hand Skills in Daily Activities: 10 articles explaining how hand skills relate to daily activities such as eating and drinking. • Adaptations for Hand Activities: 11 articles suggest generalized adaptations that increase success, such as ways to compensate for a weak hand. • Activities: 30 ways to build hand skills in play-based activities. The necessary materials are inexpensive and readily available in many homes. • Other features include skill/activity charts, an activity checklist, a glossary, and an extensive list of toys to address hand skills. This is a great resource for cross-disciplinary learning. • Written by Valerie Pieraccini, OTR/L, and Darla K. Vance, M.S., OTR/L. Spiralbound, 240 pages, 2001. |
