Helping children with autism to develop hand skills

When: February 28th, 6:30—8:30 pm Where:  6 Southside Road, Danvers

Barbara Smith, M.S., OTR/L has worked with children and adults with developmental disabilities in a variety of settings over the past 30 years. She is the author of several books, including her latest, From Rattles to Writing: A Parent’s Guide to Hand Skills. Barbara is passionate about adapting activities and using teaching strategies that help children with attention and sensory challenges to develop hand skills. Parents will learn how to provide the types of sensory stimulation that help children develop the skills that lead to reading and writing- amazingly, this all begins at birth!  Children with autism often demonstrate sensory preferences and aversions that impact learning. Adapting activities and using teaching strategies and sensory reinforcement to meet the individual child’s needs is critical in achieving sensory regulation, focus and engagement in hand activities.  Please contact the Autism Support Center to register:  978-777-9135 or asc@ne-arc.org
