Looking for ideas for a Groundhog Day theme, I have you covered. I love having activities and printables for a different theme each week. I can work on the OT goals of my students that have a variety of skills and developmental levels.
I love having activities and printables for a different theme each week. I can work on the OT goals of my students who a variety of skills and developmental levels. Activities and worksheets to work on sensory, social-emotional, visual perception, fine motor, and gross motor skills are included for each theme.
If you are like me, you don’t have a lot of time to plan. Over the past 20 years, I have been collecting ideas for self-regulation, emotions, visual perception, gross motor, fine motor… and I want to share them with you.
Think Multi-Sensory! How many senses can you use to learn letters, numbers, or words? There are 100s of ways for kids to learn their letters without picking up a pencil. Here are 10 I did with my daughter and use often in occupational therapy sessions.
I travel to multiple schools and see anywhere from 50- 80 students per week. My caseload is varied, and I love to use games to work on foundation skills such as visual perception, eye tracking, bilateral coordination, left/right discrimination, in-hand manipulation, turn-taking, handwriting, and executive function skills.
Engaging reluctant writers can be difficult. When working on formation, baseline adherence, spacing and speed with my OT students and I am always looking for ways to make writing more fun.
Check out these ideas for Kits for Kindergarteners. Included in this post are ideas for sensory-motor, fine motor, and visual perceptual activities. The activities selected will help with motor development and skill acquisition.
How do I see 60-80 students each week, work on their occupational therapy goals and stay sane? Organization, planning, and preparation. This year I am not prepping daily, weekly, or even monthly, I am planning by season. It has been a game-changer for teletherapy and hybrid students this year.
