How John functions in this area
At home, John is learning to manage his body movements effectively. He can sometimes find coordinating his movements a little tricky, so benefits from some support to help him succeed. With a little extra guidance, John is developing his movement control and coordination skills nicely as he plays and interacts with his environment at home.
At home, John sometimes finds it tricky to manage tasks that need a bit of coordination, like doing up buttons or using cutlery. He also needs a little extra time to get ready in the mornings. With encouragement and practice, John is building his confidence in these areas every day.
At school, John can move around independently, but sometimes finds it tricky to control his movements with precision, like when he's lining up or using scissors. He also benefits from support to help coordinate actions sometimes, such as catching a ball. With a little extra help, John can participate confidently in a range of classroom and playground activities.
John shines in active group games! To help him succeed during quieter desk tasks, he will benefit from support with fine motor skills like handwriting. Providing John with tools to steady his hand and extra time to complete written assignments will set him up for success in the classroom.
John finds movement and coordination a little easier at school than at home, though both parents and teachers feel that some support would be helpful. The difference between settings isn't large, but it may suggest John is working harder to keep up at school. Think about whether the classroom setup is more supportive for him or if he feels more pressure to perform. Extra support at home might help John feel more confident overall.
