Fine Motor Skills Training

The fine motor skills training program was planned for the areas of difficulty that children with ADHD experience in the fine motor area as stated in the literature (Lavasani \& Stagnitti, 2011). The fine motor goals were organized for 8 weeks, each week including a different fine motor area and practicing handwriting. For each fine motor goal, 3 different activities were identified that did not require materials or could be practiced with materials that could be easily found in each child's home. For example, for the fine motor strengthening goal, three different activities were planned for the same purpose with tools such as play dough, nails, and staples (Case-Smith \& O'Brien, 2013). The activities determined each week were repeated three days a week in the same way and applied to all children. Within the 40-minute session, each activity was performed for 10 minutes under the guidance of an expert occupational therapist.
