Welcome back to another school year! As occupational therapists and teachers, the beginning of the year is a crucial time to assess where our students are at. Getting an early idea of where their drawing, handwriting, coloring, and cutting skills are will help you monitor their progress. One fun and effective way to do this is through an “All About Me” activity. This simple task can provide valuable insights into your students’ fine motor skills, drawing, handwriting legibility, and visual perceptual abilities.

Hey there, parents and teachers! If you’re tired of tripping over untied shoelaces or hearing the age-old plea, “Can you tie my shoes, please?” then you’re in the right place! Teaching kids to tie their shoes can be a tricky task, but fear not! Occupational therapists (OTs) are here to save the day with some invaluable tips and techniques to make the process a breeze.
