Overview: The Fantastic Fingers program has been designed to develop the foundation skills needed for fine motor skills, including body awareness, strength, stability and balance, and visual skills. This program consists of weekly sessions designed to be delivered in small groups, for approximately 2 hours with short breaks. The sessions have been designed in a developmental order; that is, working on the easier skills first and then building gradually to the more difficult skills. Each session starts with a warm-up, which works on some gross motor skills and sensory skills such as body awareness and motor planning. This is followed up by fine motor skills tasks to improve the aforementioned skills.
