Review
I thought this was an excellent film and was most impressed by what you and your colleagues had accomplished. I am sure the presentation will be of great value in teaching, not only occupational therapists but also in developmental psychology and pediatrics. --Professor Kevin Connolly, University of Sheffield, England, December 5, 1983
Product Description
This classic video program won an award from the American Academy of Cerebral Palsy and Developmental Medicine in 1984. Ten babies illustrate a comprehensive range of hand skills, from the newborn period to 15 months of age. Their hand movements are grouped into developmental sequences, which demonstrate how skills at each level lead to those at the next. Major topics include involuntary-reflexive patterns (the arms in supine and prone, the Asymmetrical Tonic Neck Reflex, grasping, placing, and avoiding responses); and voluntary movements (approach in supine, prone, and sitting; grasp and release of the dowel, cube, and pellet; and manipulation skills). Therapists, teachers, and parents use this information to identify missing skills, and plan stimulation programs for children of all ages who have delays in fine motor development. Also available in DVD format.
