Understanding gross motor development
Movement skills support more than sports and physical activity.
Gross motor skills are the larger movements of the body used for sitting, standing, walking, running, jumping, climbing, balancing and moving confidently through everyday environments. These skills also contribute to play, classroom participation, self-care and the ability to keep up with age-appropriate activities.
Some children may understand what they want to do but find the physical movement difficult. Families may notice frequent falls, poor balance, awkward running, difficulty jumping or climbing, low endurance, challenges learning new movement sequences or hesitation during playground and group activities.
At Inclusive Neuro Development Centre, gross motor skills development therapy in Shahdara and East Delhi looks at the child’s movement within meaningful activities. Support may consider balance, coordination, posture, strength, motor planning and body awareness rather than treating one movement skill in isolation.

Our gross motor therapy approach
First understand which movement skills are affecting everyday participation.
Gross motor development does not look the same for every child. Two children may both find playground activities difficult while needing support in different areas. Assessment and therapy therefore focus on the child’s current movement skills, strengths, task demands and participation goals rather than using one fixed exercise programme.
01. Understand the movement difficultyWe discuss which activities are difficult, when the challenge is most noticeable and how it affects school, play, routines or community participation.
02. Observe the underlying skillsAssessment may consider balance, coordination, postural control, strength, endurance, body awareness and motor planning relevant to the child.
03. Build meaningful goalsGoals are connected with useful activities such as walking, running, jumping, climbing, playground play, transitions and age-appropriate movement tasks.
04. Support progress beyond sessionsFamilies can receive practical guidance to support appropriate movement experiences through everyday routines and play without turning every interaction into a drill.

Gross motor skills development FAQs
Clear answers for common gross motor concerns.
Gross motor development can vary between children. These answers provide a helpful starting point, while an individual occupational therapy assessment can clarify which movement skills are affecting participation and what support may be useful.
What is gross motor skills development therapy?
Gross motor skills development therapy supports the larger body movements used for standing, walking, running, jumping, climbing, balancing and participating in active everyday tasks. Depending on the child’s needs, therapy may focus on balance, coordination, postural control, strength, body awareness, endurance and motor planning.
What signs may suggest a child needs gross motor support?
Families may notice frequent falls, poor balance, awkward or hesitant running, difficulty jumping or climbing, low endurance, challenges keeping up during active play, difficulty learning new movement sequences or avoidance of physical activities. Individual assessment can help identify which skills are contributing to the difficulty.
Is gross motor therapy only for sports?
No. Gross motor skills affect many areas of everyday participation. Support may relate to playground play, moving safely through different environments, school activities, transitions, community participation and age-appropriate physical independence, not only organised sports.
How does occupational therapy support gross motor development?
Occupational therapy can identify the movement skills contributing to a difficult activity and use purposeful, engaging activities to practise them. Support may focus on balance, coordination, posture, strength, motor planning or body awareness while keeping therapy connected to meaningful participation.
Will parents receive guidance for home?
When appropriate, families can receive practical guidance for supporting movement development through suitable play and everyday activities. Recommendations are tailored to the child’s current abilities and participation needs.
