4. Sensory Integration
Sensory processing or sensory integration refers to how our
body receives, understands, and uses information from the
senses. One component of this process is sensory
integration, which includes interpretation, coordination,
and organization of sensation. Efficient sensory integration
enables us to plan appropriate action and behavior and
learn new skills.
• Sensory Modulation: Refers to the nature and intensity
of our reactions to sensation.
• Sensory Discrimination: Sensory discrimination is the
ability of the nervous system to identify the type and
quality of sensory input, such as the size and shape of
an object, the direction of a noise, and the position of
our body as we move through space, and then interpret
this information for the development of motor skills.

5. Self-regulation is our bodies ability to attain, maintain, and
change arousal appropriately for a task or situation.
(Williams & Shellenberger, 1994, p 1-5) It is our ability to
manage your own energy states, emotions, behaviors, and
attention, in ways that are socially acceptable and help
achieve positive goals such as maintaining good
relationships learning and maintaining wellbeing.”
SELF REGULATION

6. Handwriting
Occupational Therapy for Handwriting refers to the
mechanical parts of the actual act of forming letters,
numbers, strokes, lines or simple/complex figures to
demonstrate graphomotor skills. Below outlines the
mechanical aspects of handwriting.
• Memory: Remembering and writing dictated letters
• Orientation: Orienting or facing letters in the correct
direction.
• Placement: placement refers to a child’s ability to
place their letters, numbers, words or sentence on a
baseline or whether they float his/her letters and
numbers well above the bolded 1/8 or 1/16 of an inch
margin of error depending on their respective age or
grade expectations.
• Size: A sizing error occurs when a letter or number is
formed larger than the margin of error, which is 1 grade
level below the current.

7. Gross Motor or Bilateral Motor Coordination Skill: Gross motor skills
involve the large muscles of the body that assist with sitting upright,
walking, kicking, running, and jumping. Gross motor skills are dependent
on muscle tone and muscle strength. Gross motor skills include:
Fine Motor Skills: Fine motor skills are the small movements that occur in
the hands, wrists, and fingers. These small movements work in
conjunction with the eyes. Fine motor skills involve the following:
• Posture
• Locomotion
• Balance
• Coordination
• Strength
• Endurance
• Body awareness
• Dexterity: Quality or ability of movement.
• Eye-hand coordination: The coordination between hands and eyes to
work in conjunction with one another.
• In-hand manipulation: ability to shift items within hands and fingers.
• Grasp and precision patterns: Ability to hold or manipulate items.
• Bilateral coordination: The hands ability to work together.
