crawl, walk, skip, and run, embracing the world.

Occupational Therapy
An occupational therapist may develop a child’s fine motor movements, increase a child’s
concentration and memory skills, enhance self-care independence, or use sensory integration
strategies to help a child expand his or her self-reliance and independence. They
reinforce positive behaviors that turn child’s play into work and function.
