The Magic of Glue Dots

Breaking news! One of my teachers for middle schoolers with moderate mental disabilities just sent me this message about a student who would rather pick at things more than anything else in the world:

I just wanted to let you know I found something great for Leora. She is using glue dots (Strips cut into individual squares) with her assignments... and they are working AWESOME for her! She seems to love the peeling and picking aspect of it, and it saves so much glue!!

Doesn't that make your heart happy?

And, I just found this video for making them yourself:

OT Tools for Public Schools is a blog for therapists, teachers, parents and anyone else who is interested in creative ideas for helping students "show what they know." It is not a replacement for private occupational therapy, special education, related services or general education in public/private settings. It is not a "medical" site, medical or allied health advice is not offered, and the reader is encouraged to use his/her knowledge of the individual child to decide whether or not an activity might be beneficial or potentially harmful to the child.
Since most of the activities mentioned are created from everyday, inexpensive materials, the reader is warned to consider the special needs of his/her student(s) and avoid using any materials which may potentially cause allergic reactions or other negative responses. Direct supervision of the child is required when materials are used.
Now that I've scared you to smithereens, go have fun with these ideas!
