Have you ever found yourself asking your child to do the same thing over and over again? Why won’t they just stand up and put their shoes on? Why do they hit so often for what seems like no reason? Today is your crash course in motor planning and apraxia, where we’re diving deep into how the brain + body connection impacts behavior. We have Brooke Poston (Clinic Director and Spellers Method Practitioner) on the show to answer all of our questions:

  • What is the difference between apraxia, incompetence, and defiance?

  • How can a parent implement motor coaching techniques for children with DS? (hint: Start with the eyes! Use the motor coaching formula)

  • What should we do when our kids “flop and drop?”

  • How do we respond to injurious and out of control behaviors?

Get ready to take notes and pass this one along!
