Fine Motor Skills Programme - Which level should the child start at?

The GriffinOT Fine Motor Skills Programme (FMSP) is a set of over 150 activities designed to help children from the age of one and a half improve their fine motor skills.

The online programme is divided into six sections. There are four sections designed to specifically target fine motor skills. One which helps children to improve their pencil grasp and another which focuses on scissor skills. Here, we provide an easy questionnaire to help adults identify where a child should start, so that they can support them in the way best suited to their individual needs. There are also videos to describe some of the more technical terms.
