Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

I am a pediatric occupational therapist working in a special education school setting. I am new to the school environment with limited tools and toys. All the items I have included will work on fine motor, visual motor, bilateral coordination, play ideation/exploration, and sensory regulation/processing for my kiddos. My goal is to help provide them with the tools to become successful and reach towards their OT goals to increase their independence in school related tasks. I am not one to ask from others, but these kiddos deserve so much!

Help me help my students!
