Occupational Therapy to Maximize Learning in the Classroom!
Help me give my students Fire tablets, Osmo Genius Kits, vibrating cushions, Lego Duplo and fidgets to help them learn and engage better in occupational therapy and in the classroom!
My students are creative, thoughtful and full of questions! They absolutely love hands-on, active, engaging activities and challenges. I work with students from pre-k through 5th grade who have difficulty sitting still during class, attending to the teacher, difficulty grasping writing utensils and copying from the board. My students love trying new activities to assist in maximizing their learning experience.
My students have proven to show better success and are more engaged when using interactive activities to learn.
Many of my students have difficulty sitting still in the classroom. The use of fidgets and vibrating cushions have proven to be great assets to the classroom and maximize the students' learning.
My Project
The Fire Tablets and Osmo Genius kits will help improve students' visual perceptual skills, attention, and fine motor skills. Students will be able to engage in interactive games on the tablet, which will improve their ability to copy from the board, appropriately grasp writing utensils, and attend.
The vibrating cushions and fidgets will help students to engage and attend during classroom lessons.
My students absolutely love these and have reported being able to focus better after use.
The LEGO Duplo blocks will improve fine motor skills and visual perceptual skills necessary to complete many activities of daily life in the classroom.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
