			<h3>Audience</h3>

			<p>This workshop is designed for Occupational Therapists and allied health professionals who want to build a foundational understanding of fine motor assessment. It is ideal for clinicians working with clients in paediatrics, rehabilitation, and disability settings, as well as those new to fine motor evaluation.</p>

			<h3>Course Description</h3>

			<p>Fine motor skills are essential to everyday function&mdash;from feeding and dressing to handwriting and tool use. This workshop introduces therapists to the core principles of fine motor assessment, offering practical guidance on observation, task analysis, and identifying barriers that limit participation.</p>

			<p>Focusing on the biomechanical aspects of fine motor performance, the session demonstrates how assessment findings can be applied throughout the OT process to inform functional, client-centred goals. Participants will also be directed to evidence-based models and specialised training opportunities for further learning.</p>

			<p><strong>Please note:</strong> This workshop does not provide specialised training in fine motor assessment or intervention. It serves as an introduction to key considerations and includes references to additional courses and resources for clinicians wishing to extend their skills.</p>

			<p><em>Combine in-depth assessment with training or remediation of gross and fine motor skills</em></p>

			<p>This early childhood motor development program contains six subtests that assess the motor skills of children from birth through 5 years. The new illustrated guide to administering and scoring provides detailed descriptions of each item. The subtests are&mdash;Reflexes, Stationary, Locomotion, Object Manipulation, Grasping, and Visual-Motor Integration.</p>

			<p>Composite scores available include Gross Motor Quotient, Fine Motor Quotient, and Total Motor Quotient.</p>

			<p>The <em>Peabody Motor Activities Program</em> (P&ndash;MAP), included in the complete kit, is the instruction/treatment program of the PDMS&ndash;2. After a child&#39;s motor skills have been assessed and the profile/summary form has been completed, select units from the P&ndash;MAP to facilitate the child&#39;s development in specific skill areas.</p>
