π§ OT Activity: Jump β’ Reach β’ Cross Midline β’ Place
π― OT Benefits
* Improves dynamic balance & postural control
* Develops motor planning and sequencing
* Strengthens bilateral coordination
* Encourages midline crossing
* Improves hand-eye coordination
* Enhances proprioceptive processing
* Builds lower-limb strength & coordination
* Improves attention, body awareness and following directions
π§ Brain Gym & Reflex Integration
* Cross-lateral movement: supports coordination between both sides of the body.
* Midline crossing: encourages integrated use of both sides and supports visual-motor coordination.
* Jumping over hurdles: provides vestibular + proprioceptive input and challenges postural responses.
* Reach and transfer: promotes controlled weight shifting and coordinated upper-limb movement.
* Sequencing: jump β pick β cross β place strengthens motor planning and praxis.
* Can be incorporated into reflex-integration programs to practice controlled, purposeful movement patterns and postural stability.
