    This document provides guidance for assessing a baby and developing a motor skills program. It outlines key elements to consider including asymmetry, goals, positioning, toys, blocking, dose, fun, and outcomes. The therapist should establish goals, choose age-appropriate engaging toys, and block the strong hand to encourage use of the weaker side. Repetitive practice for 30 minutes a day over 6 weeks can help babies make progress on self-initiated movements.
