Occupational Therapy to help Students Grow through Play

Help me give my students the varied treatment opportunities they deserve to overcome the sensory, visual and motor challenges they face during their school day.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Matela-Berenbeim's classroom raised $883

This project is fully funded

My Project

The students that I see have been impacted by COVID in many ways. Many have been isolated without the benefit of cooperative, physically involved play or learning experiences. The items that I chose, offer a wide variety of sensory, motor and visual perceptual skill building experiences. The wide age range in my case load necessitates graded activities to provide each student the best possible practice experience. Many students lack fine and gross motor coordination and core strength. The stepping stones and ring toss Jenga activities will provide opportunities to strengthen all these areas while having fun.
