Lottsa fun attending today's conference in Richmond for school-based OTs, sponsored by the Virginia Occupational Therapy Association.

Mucho thx to Becky and Nadine from Henrico County Public Schools who went in on presenting a poster session with my SLP buddy, Alison, and me.  Our poster featured how we work with teachers and other staff during integrated learning activities in classrooms.  We heard lots of good ideas from therapists who visited our table.

During one of the presentations, on improving leisure time activities in the classroom, an OT discussed developing photography skills with students.  This reminded me of how I had wanted to pursue this with several of my students to help with increased attention, sequencing of steps and the fine motor aspects of putting together a photo album. 

A few years ago the Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens featured "Monet-ish" scenes in the gardens and placed empty frames at various spots for visitors to gaze through.  Using empty frames on a stand might be a tangible way for students to "frame" what photos they want to take...hmmm....
