Home to my fine motor program - action songs, play & movement based early learning & fine motor activities for ages 4 to 6

Meet Ingrid C. King - Occupational Therapist, Speaker & Author

I have always found it very satisfying to help people and I enjoy being creative, so I found a good match in occupational therapy. I graduated with distinction in 1995 in South Africa. I soon found that I loved working with children and their parents and teachers.

I completed my masters in occupational therapy in 2008.I have been creating, trialing and researching the Fantastic Fingers® Program activities since 2003. There is a huge need to give children the best start and help so that they can be ready for school and successful. Fine motor skills are so important being a predictor of academic success and one of the four indicators for school readiness. I presented a paper on my fine motor research at the Occupational Therapy Australia National Conference.

I have worked in South Africa, the United States, New Zealand and now in Australia. I have my own private practice working with children ages three to eight years on the Sunshine Coast. My focus is on school readiness, and addressing delays in development using rhythmic movements and infant reflex integration. This has helped many children to achieve their potential which is exciting!
