Coordination and timing deficits may be addressed by beginning with gross movements and progressing to more precise movements.OT practitioners focus coordination intervention by starting with postural control or stability.This may be achieved through intervention or positioning or adaptive equipment.The practitioner provides the child with opportunities to practice coordination by designing activities that require the child to repeat motions and progressively become more accurate.For example, the practitioner may begin by providing a large target area and gradually lessen the target area (to facilitate more precision).Timing may be promoted by including music, rhythmic songs, or counting activities into the intervention sessions.
