WHAT IS IT?
Gross Motor Skills are large body movements - rolling, crawling, walking, running and jumping.  Fine Motor Skills include grasping and manipulating objects.  Any delay in attaining gross motor skills is referred to as Gross Motor Developmental Delay.

There are many factors that can affect Motor Development​:
  • Insufficient stimulation
  • Neurological problems (ie. Cerebral Palsy, Spina Bifida, Ataxia)

  • Diseases of the muscles
  • Vision problems
