Being Strong With Our Hands and Body!

Help me give my students some tools to build gross and fine motor skills!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Jones's classroom raised $584

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students all have autism and are have been without an Occupation Therapist assigned to our school. These items will help support my students develop their fine motor and gross motor skills. Not only will these items be used during a designated OT skills station, we will also use them during rainy/snowy day indoor recesses.

The sensory tiles, bean bags, scarfs, ribbons, and balance bean will all be great to keep their attention and provide some much needed supports to work on their fundamental gross motor skills.

The magnetic builders and drawing boards will also add to their fine motor centers to work on their writing skills.

My students would greatly benefit from all supports to help them build foundational skills with their gross and fine motor needs.
