Spina Bifida Affecting Motor Skills

Spina Bifida can impact motor skills in different ways. Gross motor skills—like walking, climbing stairs, or transferring—may be more noticeably affected, while fine motor skills—like writing, buttoning, or using utensils—can present unique challenges that require specific strategies.

Supporting skill development means breaking tasks into steps, using adaptive tools, and creating routines that play to a child’s strengths. Individualized evaluations and targeted therapies help children reach their full potential.
