My Students
I work with students who have IEP’s and specifically make sure their fine motor and sensory processing needs are met. It has been difficult to be so hands off per covid guidelines because to make fine motor and sensory needs met, I’m often using techniques such as hand over hand or modeling while sitting next to the student. My students are special because they are so motivated to do their best and I’m tasked with ensuring they can do that!
My Project
Many students need extra fine motor strength activities more frequently than my team can provide. As an OT we see students infrequently but are always available for consultation. None of that can take the place of consistent hands on practice and that ends up being the teachers responsibility. Covid has created some observable regression in these skills and it is causing teachers to take steps back to review basic skills. These boxes will be created by me and my team and lent to classes in order to support students and teachers with fine motor strength and coordination to make them better writers and increase independence with self help tasks. Increasing these skills increases independence and more importantly self confidence.
