This essential resource is designed to provide educators with practical strategies and approaches to support the motor and coordination development of children in educational settings. Children with difficulties in movement and coordination often face challenges in participating and learning, particularly in Early Years settings and schools. However, many of these children can benefit from adjustments to their educational environment and the application of universal strategies.

Combining the perspectives of occupational therapy and special educational needs, this book uses evidence-based research to equip professionals with the knowledge and confidence to enhance teaching for all children, ensuring inclusion and positive educational outcomes.

  • Evidence-based strategies from occupational therapy and special educational needs to improve teaching skills
  • Emphasis on promoting inclusion and participation in activities affecting pupil progress, such as handwriting, self-care, lunchtime, physical activities, and play
  • A wide range of activities, tips, and guidance to support progress and academic achievement for all children
  • A holistic approach to early learning, focusing on motor skills and coordination as part of the overall developmental process

This resource is an invaluable tool for teachers, trainee teachers, teaching assistants, SENCOs, student occupational therapists, and anyone working with children in Early Years settings. It’s an essential guide to ensuring every child’s developmental needs are met to foster success and participation in educational settings.
