What Can a Pediatric Occupational Therapist Teach Us About Toys?
In Episode 236 of "Making It in the Toy Industry," host Azhelle Wade chats with pediatric occupational therapist, Keri Wilmot, who has a treasure trove of insights from her nearly 25 years in the field.
Keri uses toys to help children improve fine motor skills, coordination, and overall performance in self-care tasks. Her work with kids facing ADHD, autism, Down syndrome, and cerebral palsy is testament to the transformative power of play.
Want to help your child master the art of tying shoelaces? Kerri’s got a tip for that—use toy tools like tweezers to build up the necessary hand strength. Is your kid's sensory processing a roadblock to engaging in play? Keri’s got that covered too in her book “Wired Differently.” And if you’re worried about how tech has sidelined physical activities, her new book “Fine Motor Foundations” addresses this head-on with practical advice.
