Niagara College launches fine motor skills program for children

Niagara College’s Pediatric Fine Motor Development Clinic is helping local children build essential hand and finger skills while giving students real-world training. 

The six-week program at the Welland Campus provides occupational therapy sessions twice a week, supporting school-age kids with strength, grip, dexterity and coordination. 

Led by Occupational Therapist and professor Sarah Cole, the clinic offers families a more accessible option amid long wait lists for similar services. 

For $300, participants receive an initial assessment and 12 treatment sessions delivered by OTA & PTA students under professional supervision.
