Hand Squeeze

Shake hands or hold the hand of the caregiver (squeeze balls would be ideal for this activity but in the absence of this, holding hands can be an option)

PURPOSE

This activity improves the learner’s sense of force through hand grip.

• Step 1

  Sit with the learner and shake their hand 10 times. Each time, squeeze a little stronger to practice gripping.

• Step 2

  If there is a squeeze ball in the home, give the learner the squeeze ball and repeat step 1. This can also be done with dough at home.
