Canton, MA -- Something as simple as grasping a pencil, pedaling a bike, or buttoning a shirt can be as tough for some kids as climbing Mount Everest is for the rest of us. A new photo-based guide with over 30 different exercises can help kids build the strength they need to succeed in school, sports, and everyday living. It's a supplement for those children with autism, learning disabilities, and developmental delays who are already getting occupational therapy, but it's also useful for kids with milder delays where expensive therapy may not be warranted but where a parent needs a leg up in helping their child build strength and coordination.

The GraspRite Method was developed by Lisa Shooman, a Columbia-University educated occupational therapist with more than 15 years experience helping kids with developmental delays due to autism. cerebral palsy, and a wide range of other conditions. "This guide will enable parents to have the best therapy tools on hand 24/7 to help their child overcome the most common physical delays," by Lisa Shooman.

This is an informative, practical, and playful A-to-Z guide that presents only the most effective fine and gross motor exercises for children to help build strength, skills, and self-esteem. Research shows that these movements can help a child improve at the most important foundational skills, so the exercises will be as beneficial as they are fun. Recommended by pediatricians, this book will entertain and educate both parents and children with brightly-colored pages containing alliteration and rhymes, as well as over 60 adorable photographs of children illustrating the exercises.

Lisa Shooman overcame a developmental delay as a young child and went on to become certified in low vision and positive behavioral supports. Lisa is sincere in her commitment and dedication to developing effective solutions for children to succeed in their daily lives.
