Our normal structure and routine will be disrupted. This information pack aims to support parent carers of children with an ASD or LD during this time and will hopefully make things a little more manageable.

BEING ACTIVE / OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY

Keeping Active - Change for Life Activities and games that will keep children active!

Crossing the Midline - Occupational Therapy Task Activities that encourage a child to cross the midline with his arms and legs encourage communication between the two hemispheres of the brain and develop bilateral co-ordination – or the ability to use both sides of the body togetherChildren who have difficulty crossing the midline will work the right side of the body with the right hand, and the left with the left, to avoid crossing that invisible line. This makes development of a dominant hand and academic tasks such as reading and writing very difficult. Playing sports and even playground play will also be trickier. Even the ability to dress and feed oneself requires the ability to cross the midline!
