Lowly Occupational Therapist Stuck in the "Maze" |
Welcome to a spot to share ideas for working with students in exceptional education in public schools. Please describe activities you've successfully used with students to improve fine motor and self-help skills. Creative classroom adaptations for sensory-based and ergonomic needs are sought. Technology applications, low and high tech, are appreciated. Above all--be positive and professional in sharing your experiences and ideas. Thanks.

Tight Spaces
Our "natural environments" group of 2 year olds celebrated the end of school at Chick Fil A this morning. After practicing self feeding they colored their little aquariums and put on their sea life critter stickers, then headed for the indoor "gym" in a separate part of the building.
We had our little integrated therapy session with the students, early childhood teacher, speech-language pathologist and lowly occupational therapist climbing through the tight spaces and going higher, higher and higher to reach the entrance to the tunnel slide. The parents stood close by and cheered us onward and upward. My target student was initially fearful of going into the maze but he ended up climbing up about three levels. Success!
