Description

This workshop provides parents and professionals with an appreciation of the multiple underlying skills required for co-ordination and some activities to overcome clumsiness and improve co-ordination. For many of us, catching a ball, riding a bike and climbing the stairs comes easily and without conscious thought. As the term implies, co-ordination involves bringing together many skills. Individuals with typical co-ordination often don't realise the number of skills that we rely upon to come together all at the same time, to support our â€˜co-ordination' including: Body awareness (knowing where our feet are without looking at them) Strong muscles (to allow us to hold a position, e.g. upright trunk to kick a ball or arms up to shoot a ball into the basket) Timing and sequencing of movements (to catch the ball before it hits you in the face)
