Turning the forearm so the palm faces down. We need this movement to type on a keyboard, pour from a pitcher, or dribble a ball.
Kids practice it by turning cards over, flipping pretend pancakes, pouring water from a cup, and pressing stamps or playdough with the palm facing down.
See our guide to pencil grasp patterns to see how this skill shows up in handwriting.
While these activities are great for home practice, nothing replaces the guidance of a licensed therapist. If you are in Irvine, CA or the Orange County area and have concerns about your child's Forearm Pronation, we invite you to connect with us.
