Physical growth and motor development are important for students' educational progress. Delays in gross or fine motor skills can make it difficult for students to participate fully in class activities and result in problems with writing, concentration, and work completion. Teachers need to be aware of motor development milestones and provide physical activities and accommodations as needed to support students' growth. Activities like obstacle courses, puzzles, and bead stringing can help address specific sensory and motor issues.
