Sensory Motor Learning Opportunities

Help me give my students some great sensory motor opportunities! My students get so excited to engage in sensory play and can engage in improving their fine motor skills while being motivated by sensory learning.

My Students

The students here at my school are an energetic and diverse group of kids with a variety of abilities and needs.

This school is a Title I school where I serve students with cognitive disabilities, learning disabilities, and motor impairments.

These children are motivated, excited to learn, and eager to please.

This is a highly impoverished area where many students don't even get their basic needs met. These students have so much to offer and coming to the therapy room is a safe and fun place for them to learn and grow. When in the therapy space, my students are able to engage in learning, exploration, and social skills.

My Project

The sensory items will be used to help my students engage in learning in a fun and motivating way. Most of my students have motor delays and have a very difficult time engaging in their academic day due to these deficits. COVID closures have had a negative impact on my student's overall motor development.

As an occupational therapist in the schools it is essential to have tools to be creative and effective so that my students can make progress toward their IEP goals.

I can't wait to see my students light up with excitement when they see these new tools that will help them access their learning.
