Section one of this program outlines the sequence of gross and fine motor skills that typically develop in the first few years of life. Section two presents three basic rules that home health personnel, physical therapists, and other caregivers rely on to encourage motor development in children with special health needs: position the child correctly, give the child adequate time to move around in a variety of positions, and provide many opportunities to use the hands and fingers. Techniques are shown for incorporating each principle into caregiving routines. (17 minutes)
