My Students
My students bring me so much joy!! My students are eager to engage, to learn and are full of wonder about life! In OT, we work on the motor, perceptual and cognitive skills needed to help them access what they're learning in class.
I am an OT at a large, urban elementary school with a wonderfully diverse student population.
My students in OT are in kindergarten through fifth grade. Several of my students are in special needs classrooms, but not all. In OT, I strive to provide a safe, calming environment and one that fosters imagination and creativity. The kids love getting involved in hands-on projects that are fun and provide a great sense of mastery! I believe these are the best ways to build foundational developmental skills.
My Project
My students will benefit so much from the weighted lap pads, hats, body socks and headphones to feel comfortable and prevent overwhelm when sensory needs arise!
The new school year comes with so many challenges and helping our students feel calm with a fidget at their desk can help them access their learning skills in the classroom so much better.
A steady stream of new markers is needed for kids to work on handwriting skills, as will the adapted pencils and pencil grips! Safe pruning shears and twine will ensure fun school garden activities in OT!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
