Refines precise finger and hand movements.

🧠 Prefrontal Cortex (executive function & planning)
Supports sequencing, problem-solving and self-regulation.

🧠 Cerebellum (coordination & motor timing)
Enhances smooth, controlled movements.

Helps children understand positioning and movement relationships.

🧠 Somatosensory Cortex (touch processing)
Processes tactile input from varied textures and fasteners.
