Session Activity:
- Engaged in fine motor skill exercises, including bead stringing and pegboard tasks.
Subjective:
- The client, a 7-year-old boy, is experiencing difficulty with hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills, impacting his ability to complete school tasks such as writing and cutting with scissors.
Staff update:
- The teacher reported that the client has been struggling with handwriting tasks and often avoids activities requiring fine motor skills.
Client update:
- The client expressed frustration with writing tasks and mentioned that his hand gets tired quickly.
- Complaints of hand fatigue during writing tasks, lasting approximately 10 minutes.
- The client has tried using a pencil grip, which has slightly improved his writing endurance.
- Symptoms have gradually worsened over the past six months.
- Previous episodes of similar difficulties were noted last year, managed with occupational therapy sessions.
- The symptoms affect the client's ability to complete homework and participate in class activities.
- Associated symptoms include occasional wrist pain during prolonged writing.
Objective:
- Vital signs: Normal.
- Physical examination findings: Mild weakness in hand grip strength, decreased dexterity in fine motor tasks.
- Mental state examination findings: The client appears motivated and engaged during the session.
Assessment:
- Diagnosis: Developmental Coordination Disorder.
- Differential diagnosis: None.
- Likely diagnosis: Developmental Coordination Disorder.
Plan:
- Treatment plan: Continue occupational therapy sessions twice a week focusing on fine motor skills and hand strengthening exercises.
- Patient education and counselling: Educated the client and parents on the importance of regular practice at home.
- Referrals to other healthcare providers: None at this time.
- Investigations planned: None.
- Treatment planned: Implement a home exercise program to improve hand strength and coordination.
- Relevant other actions: None.
Any actions:
- Follow-up with the teacher to monitor progress in school tasks.
