I have other co-workers who got trained with different "infant massage" companies, and I think that we all received great information from our trainings. I am sure if I had had to pay for hotel and travel, then I would have thought twice about the training. If you work frequently with infants then the training is a must! NICU, early intervention/ECI, or out-patient/clinic therapists could all benefit. When I went through the training, there were OT, PT, respiratory therapists, child life specialists, nurses, and counselors in my class, however I think that the OTs and PTs had the easiest time learning the information.OT 4 special totshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17427590207682452425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7935079254122244240.post-70751138998168692162013-02-22T16:34:48.950-08:002013-02-22T16:34:48.950-08:00I am also interested in infant massage but when I ...I am also interested in infant massage but when I began looking at potential courses, the number (and price) was overwhelming.

They are in the same preschool class, and the younger one's fine motor skills are much more developed than the older one's. The big brother has great difficulty holding and using scissors and writing instruments in either hand and seems to not care which hand he uses, although since the time he began feeding himself the utensil has always been held in his left hand. This fine motor clumsiness appears limited to writing and cutting, and he has no other notable weaknesses or issues. He was a term healthy baby and there was no in-utero or birth trauma. We will keep observing and working with him!

My 10 year old daughter writes with her left hand (untidy handwriting), yet does most other things like eating, cutting with scissors with her right hand. She can also write with her right hand, but finds it less easy than writing with her left. She's a bright child, but was starved of oxygen at birth and nearly died. I'm sure these traits that she has is something to do with this. Thankfully this won't affect her much in her life, it just affects the neatness of her handwriting and she is chastised for this by teachers who don't have any understanding of ambidextrous children.<br />Good article, thank you.<br />RebeccaUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10469555555122220102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7935079254122244240.post-2153974687764271692011-03-27T10:29:55.501-07:002011-03-27T10:29:55.501-07:00Thanks, you have a great blog here!

For those that don't have that need, then it is a distraction, but usually they will eventually put the item away. For some children who are sensory seekers, a "fidget" may not provide enough input, and in that case they need full body movement which gets a lot more difficult in tight spaces! But a "sensory diet" of proprioceptive activities helps such as pushing/pulling items, weighted vest/blanket, and other things that require whole body resistance.

I think that fid...Thanks for your comment Michelle. I think that fidgets can be distracting at school, if not for the child using them then maybe for the child sitting next to them. But if they are necessary for a particular child to self-regulate and participate in schoolwork, then I agree with using them. In my daughter's first grade classroom (public regular ed.), the kids are allowed to use fidgets at certain times of the day, including reading time in which they have cardboard "dividers" between each of them at this time, so I would think it wouldn't be too distracting. The school allows silly bands to be worn, which I think is like a fidget because most kids are fiddling with them. I told my daughter she could wear them to school but only if she can still pay attention, and when she came home after the first day of wearing them she said she won't wear the silly bands to school again because she was too distracted...wow, an honest six year old! Luckily, her teacher has only been teaching for a couple of years so she is open to new ideas and seems to be aware of sensory integration and ways to improve attention spans.OT 4 special totshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17427590207682452425noreply@blogger.com
