Depth perception is one of those skills that we don't always single out because it supports so many other areas of vision and is part of everything we do. via The OT Toolbox

Here’s how visual perception shows up all day long:
✅ Fine motor tasks
Writing on a line, spacing letters, copying from the board, cutting on a line, all require strong visual perceptual skills.
✅ Self-care
Tying shoes, getting dressed, brushing teeth. Kids need to visually judge where things are and how to use them.
✅ Play and sports
Catching a ball, building with blocks, completing puzzles, drawing a picture. Visual perception helps guide movement and spatial awareness.
✅ Navigation & safety
Walking through a crowded hallway, riding a bike, stepping off a curb. Knowing where objects and people are in space is key for safe movement.
✅ Reading & learning
Tracking across a page, finding the next word, recognizing patterns. Visual perception underpins reading fluency and comprehension.
✅ Social skills
Reading facial expressions, interpreting body language, recognizing social cues. All rely on strong visual perceptual processing.
In short: Visual perception is everywhere.
When kids struggle with it, they may look clumsy, have trouble with writing or reading, or avoid certain tasks. Not because they aren’t trying, but because their brain is working extra hard to “see” and process the world.

Why depth perception matters: https://www.theottoolbox.com/depth-perception/
Depth perception helps us judge where things are in space: how far, how close, how big, how small.

It’s essential for daily fine motor tasks like:
✏️ Writing on the line
✂️ Cutting along an edge
📚 Tracking across a page while reading
👕 Buttoning or fastening clothes
🍴 Pouring without spilling

Activities to support depth perception:
🔵 Catch, throw, or roll a ball back and forth
🧩 Do puzzles with varying sizes and shapes
🪜 Climb playground equipment (stairs, ladders, slides)
🏃‍♂️ Play obstacle courses (go over, under, around objects)
🎯 Toss beanbags into a target
🚗 Drive toy cars along roads or tracks
📚 Use books with pop-up or layered visuals
🎨 Practice cutting along different depth lines (straight, curved, zigzag)
🎳 Play bowling with pins at varying distances
🎈 Bat at balloons suspended at different heights

“Crossing the midline” is a foundational skill in occupational therapy that refers to the ability to reach across the middle of the body with the arms or legs crossing over to the opposite side. This skill is essential for many everyday tasks and is closely linked to bilateral coordination, brain development, and motor planning.

Why Is It Important?

Crossing the midline is crucial for:
• Writing across a page
• Reaching for objects on the opposite side
• Putting on socks or shoes
• Brushing hair
• Tying shoelaces
• Efficient reading and writing (visual tracking)

Difficulty with midline crossing can affect a child’s:
• Academic performance (especially writing and reading)
• Independence in self-care
• Motor coordination
• Cognitive development (because it reflects communication between the brain’s hemispheres)

Activities to Promote Crossing the Midline

Here are some OT-based activities to help develop this skill:

1. Figure 8 Drawing

Have the child draw large horizontal figure 8s (infinity symbols) on a whiteboard or chalkboard.

2. Ball Pass Across the Body

Pass a ball or object from one hand to the other across the body while seated or standing.

3. Windmill Exercises

Standing with feet apart, touch the left hand to the right foot and vice versa.

4. Simon Says with Cross-Body Movements

Include actions like touching the left knee with the right hand or reaching across to the opposite shoulder.

5. Lacing and Threading Activities

Set up materials so the child has to reach across the body to grab items.

6. Twister or Yoga Poses

Encourage whole-body movements that require reaching across the midline.

7. Obstacle Courses

Set up stations that require crossing midline movements — like picking up a bean bag on the left and placing it in a bucket on the right.

⸻

Tips for Parents:
• Observe how a child moves during activities — are they avoiding crossing over?
• Encourage bilateral hand use — such as one hand stabilising while the other works.
• Make it fun and goal-directed — engaging in games helps with motivation
