My Project

I am an occupational therapist and I work with my students on many skills, including improving their fine motor skills, visual-motor skills, visual perceptual skills, and sensory processing skills. These skills are the building blocks for being a successful learner.

Children learn best through play, and so I try to make our therapy sessions fun and exciting by engaging in various hands-on activities.

However, we need the supplies to be able to do this. I am requesting arts and crafts and puzzle activities and prizes so that my students can meet their goals in fun and exciting ways. By donating these activities and supplies you will enable me to be able to perform various fun and hands-on activities with my students during our occupational therapy sessions. Many of my students come from low-income homes and don't have these opportunities at home. The supplies and activities that I have chosen will allow my students to be able to learn and improve various skills, in a fun and exciting way! These supplies and activities will show my students that we care about them and want to make learning fun and exciting for them!
