Occupational Health Here is a link to the Occupational Heath team's website, which also provides a wealth of information for parents and professionals

Bucks Occupational Therapy On the Bucks Occupational Therapy page are links to the Primary Resource pack, which contains a wealth of ideas for helping develop children's gross and fine motor skills:

Touch Typing There are a number of Touch Typing programs around, including the BBC Dance Mat program; however, several of our children in school regularly use www.typingclub.com , which they could continue to use and access at home.

Dough Disco There are many exercises on the Bucks OT website for warming up fingers and fine motor muscles. Pre Covid-19, the children at the Akeley site were very used to accessing Dough Disco on YouTube; they love joining in with the energetic lady to warm up their hands before any activities in class - evidence shows that warming up these fine motor muscles helps everyone sustain writing for up to 20 minutes longer - just like we would warm up before a football match.
