Based on research evidence, the purpose of this booklet is to describe common characteristics of children with motor coordination difficulties, to provide guidance for seeking a referral to a physician, to describe the role of occupational therapists and physiotherapists who may work with these children, and to suggest modifications that may improve the ability of children to function at home, at school, and in the community.

1. Comfort and Familiar Environment: Receiving Physical, Occupational, and Speech Therapy at home can be crucial for a child's emotional well-being. Being surrounded by their family members and familiar surroundings can provide a sense of security and stability, aiding their recovery. 2. Individualized Attention: In a home care setting, children often receive more personalized and individualized attention from caregivers. They can tailor activities, routines, and care plans to suit the unique needs of each child. 3. Promotes Family Involvement: Providing Physical, Occupational, and Speech Therapy in the home encourages family involvement. Parents and other family members can actively participate in the child's care plan, fostering a strong family bond. This involvement can contribute to the overall development and well-being of the child.

AES Ohio supports Rebuilding Together Dayton's mission to help older adults remain safe, healthy, and independent in their own homes and communities.

Let there be a paradigm change in our approach to the management of neurodivergent children. The conventional, and hence most prevalent, model for helping them is suboptimal. Let “Early Intervention with a difference” be out punchline- in words as well as spirit. Cross disability center should be a norm, rather than an exception. Key components of our centers for helping these special children should be Parent centric, believe in Social model of disability rather than purely medical model, focus on Habilitation & Rehabilitation, provide all services under one roof and essentially have a preparatory school.
