Gross and Fine Motor

• Shannon LOVES gross motor activities. 
• It is great to engage her in these activities as often as possible and between less preferred activities.
• Shannon's only formal PT and OT is at school. Home therapists can get guidance from the IEP goals in these areas (see IEP page on this blog)
