Dana Blumberg, occupational therapist and founder of Positive Steps, came to IBECC to share practical tools and tips to help children use strength building activities for their muscles and core in preparation for pre-writing/handwriting skills, self-help skills and activities of daily living such as brushing teeth and dressing. Blumberg brought some of her favorite toys that the children and caregivers were able to explore. Parents were inspired as they found they had many of these practical toys at home, making it easy to incorporate into daily routines.
