Therapy Tip Tuesday: Handwriting Grasp ✋✏️
Milestone charts are helpful guides—but remember, every individual develops at their own pace. Progress, comfort, and function matter more than perfection.

Ways to Encourage a Healthy Pencil Grasp:
🖍️ Use short crayons or golf pencils to naturally support finger placement
💪 Build hand strength with playdough, clothespins, or tearing paper
🪟 Try vertical surfaces (easels, windows, walls) to promote wrist stability and endurance
🎨 Keep writing activities meaningful, motivating, and pressure-free

Typical Grasp Development Timeline:
• Palmer Grasp: 12–18 months
• Digital Pronated Grasp: 2–3 years
• Four-Finger Grasp: 3–4 years
• Static Three - Four Finger Grasp 3-4 years old hand, wrist, arm move as a unit
• Dynamic Three Finger Grasp 4-7 years old fingers move independently from the wrist and arm

Remember—some children, teens, and young adults may use alternative grasps that still allow them to write efficiently and comfortably. Function always comes first.

If you have questions about handwriting, fine motor skills, or developmental milestones, the therapists at Stepping Stones Pediatric Therapy, Inc. are here to support growth, independence, and confidence at every stage.

Born with osteogenesis imperfecta, Alec has lived his life facing challenges most can’t imagine — enduring more than 60 fractures along the way. But brittle bones never defined his spirit.

From patient to beloved spokesman for Shriners Hospitals for Children, Alec helped raise millions to ensure kids receive life-changing care. Now a Northwestern University graduate with a journalism degree, he’s already making strides toward his dream of becoming a sports broadcaster — appearing on national sports shows, interning with pro teams, and advocating for greater wheelchair accessibility on campus.

Whether on the basketball court, behind a microphone, or using his voice for others, Alec proves that resilience, purpose, and heart can turn obstacles into impact.

Wednesday Hurdle: Loud Noises & New Year’s Eve Celebrations

New Year’s Eve can be exciting, but for children with sensory sensitivities, fireworks, loud music, and crowded gatherings can feel overwhelming, stressful, or even scary.

Here are some ways parents and caregivers can help their child enjoy the celebration without sensory overload:
✅ Prepare in Advance
Talk about the noises your child may hear. Use social stories, visual schedules, or short video clips of fireworks to familiarize them beforehand.
✅ Create a Safe Listening Space
Designate a quiet area with soft lighting, pillows, and comforting items where your child can retreat if the sounds get too intense.
✅ Noise Protection Tools
Ear defenders, noise-canceling headphones, or soft earplugs can reduce the intensity of fireworks or music.
✅ Gradual Exposure
If your child is open to it, try listening to sounds at lower volumes first, gradually increasing intensity to build tolerance over time.
✅ Offer Control & Choices
Let your child choose whether to participate, how long to stay, or what calming strategies to use. Feeling in control reduces stress.
✅ Include Predictable Breaks
Plan short breaks or quiet activities throughout the evening so your child can regulate before sensory overwhelm builds.

With these small strategies, children with sensory differences can experience the fun and excitement of New Year’s Eve in a way that feels safe, supportive, and enjoyable.

Tuesday Therapy Tip: Winter Break Brain Boost with ABCya! ⛄

Looking for a fun, educational way to keep your child’s mind active during winter break? ABCya has short, interactive games that make learning feel like play!

Here’s why it can help:
✅ Mindful Focus: Choose puzzles, mazes, or memory games. Encourage your child to notice how they feel while concentrating—building self-awareness and emotional regulation.
✅ Interactive Learning: Play together or ask questions like, “What’s your plan?” or “How did you solve that?” This sparks problem-solving, communication, and creativity.
✅ Winter Routine: Even with extra free time, short game sessions (10–15 minutes) can give structure and a calm transition between holiday activities, reading, or snack time.
✅ Seasonal Fun: Try holiday-themed games or challenges, and celebrate progress with little rewards like stickers or points!

Short, positive sessions help your child stay engaged, confident, and emotionally aware all winter break. ❄️

For extra support with focus, emotional regulation, or coping skills, our therapists at Stepping Stones Pediatric Therapy, Inc. are here to help your child thrive!

Brian was diagnosed with Stargardt’s disease, a degenerative eye condition, yet he refused to let vision loss define his life. He became a Paralympic cross-country skier and biathlete, earning multiple gold medals and inspiring athletes around the world.

Known for his speed, endurance, and relentless determination, Brian has competed in both the Paralympics and the Olympics, showing that barriers exist only for those who let them. His story is a powerful reminder that with courage, focus, and perseverance, extraordinary achievements are possible.
