About the course

Is hand therapy just a set of hand and finger exercises? Or is it something much more holistic—something that only starts when the body’s functioning in its entirety, whether in a correct manner or not. In this course, Anna Bielak-Bajda explains what hand therapy really involves, how to identify fine motor difficulties in children, and how to support their handwriting and coordination skills in practical, developmentally appropriate ways. You'll gain both knowledge and tools you can use right away.

Course Description

Every year more and more children show signs of reduced motor efficiency—both in gross motor and fine motor control. But the ability to use hands effectively is built on much more than finger strength. It requires postural stability, balance, and coordination—the core foundations of physical development.

In this course, you'll learn:

the key factors behind fine motor challenges,

how sensory integration issues can affect a child's ability to write or manipulate objects,

how to recognize signs of abnormal muscle tone,

and how to identify students who need extra support.

This course is not only theoretical—on a practical level you’ll receive a collection of ready-to-use exercises, activities, and tools for working with children in both educational and therapeutic settings.

This course is designed for teachers, special educators, therapists, and all professionals supporting child development.

What do you gain?

A deeper understanding of what hand therapy is—and why it involves more than just hand exercises
Insight into the connection between sensory integration and fine motor skill development
Practical tools to identify poor muscle tone in young learners
A full toolkit of therapeutic games, movement exercises, and classroom resources

Bonus materials and certificate

You will receive them along with the recording from the training session.
