Here at Child and Family Development in Charlotte, we use 2 great tools on a regular basis to provide our children with excellent and fun care--- the Nintendo Wii and the iPad.
The Wii provides children with excellent feedback on how they are moving their bodies and the variety of games helps children develop and improve their bilateral coordination, motor planning and sequencing, balance, and overall body strength and coordination.  The iPad supports communication, interaction, fine motor skill development, visual skill development, and cognitive skill development.  There is an amazing amount of applications that can be added to the iPad

For more information about how these tools can help your child, contact an occupational therapist at Child and Family Development!
