Occupational therapists and parents are embracing a new toy that helps improve motor skills and sensory regulation in toddlers. The Hand2Mind scooter board is gaining popularity as a fun and effective tool for physical development. "This is one of my tried and true GO TO toys, both at home or in a clinic!" says Shannon, a pediatric occupational therapist and mom of two, who features the board in a recent TikTok video. The video demonstrates various ways toddlers can use the board, including crawling, balancing, and even using it as part of an obstacle course.
