Occupational Therapy: The Fist Brush
By: Renata Bursten, Dragonfly Staff
The Fist Brush is one of those good inexpensive adaptations that makes play much more rewarding. It is a must-have basic for children with mild to fairly serious fine motor involvement who primarily use a whole hand grasp. Try matching the brush handle colours to the colours of paint being used to practice colour matching. The right tools make creative play available to all kids.

PLAY Tip
Stair Masters!
Gooo-ing up!
Always teach going up before teaching coming down. It is easier to master, safer, and will build skills needed for safe going down. Stay right behind them the entire time. It's for safety, but also many children find a light touch comforting and encouraging.
