Fine motor delay is when a child is not able to use their hands and fingers to hold, manipulate, and use objects when the child is at the right age to do these things.
Fine motor skills require eye-hand coordination….the ability to see something and respond with the right movements in the hands and fingers.
The ability to speak also uses fine motor skills because the lips, tongue, and face muscles must coordinate to make different shapes so a child can speak.
Children can have a delay in fine motor skills, gross motor skills (big movements like crawling or walking), or both
