A comprehensive understanding of the essential aspects to consider during fine motor assessments
Assessing a client with fine motor difficulties can be overwhelming, with multiple aspects to consider and observe all at once! This tends to leave us feeling lost in our findings and therefore, within our intervention approach, struggling to know where to begin and what to prioritise. This workshop is aimed at helping therapists gain a basic understanding regarding the many aspects to consider, during a fine motor assessment; from a non standardised and standardised assessment perspective, then utilise this information to create client centred, functional goals.
This workshop does not cover intervention approaches for different fine motor barriers, but will help the clinician gain increased confidence with their assessment, which in turn will help with selecting the appropriate intervention approach, individual to each client’s needs and goals

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING
The workshop was highly informative and helpful. The image examples provided clear guidance on key areas to consider. I learned new insights, such as how white knuckles and gripping too hard may indicate hand strength issues. The discussion on integrating UL/FM assessments with NDIS-preferred functional assessments was particularly valuable.
Amazing workshop and very thorough. It provided a clear and practical introduction to fine motor assessment techniques, with a strong focus on functional application. Attending this workshop also enhances an OTs ability to justify funding requests!
