Reaching Skills

swipes and bats with abducted shoulder and closed hand

Brings hands together at midline with fingers fully extended

• Dissociation of body sides
• Unilateral Reaching
• less abduction/internal rotation of shoulder, hand is more open

Trunk stability improves and with it comes more expansive reach: shoulder flexion and external rotation, elbow extension, forearm supination and slight wrist extension are all emerging!
