My Project

I am an occupational therapist that travels to 5 schools. I currently bring materials from school to school. Having these materials will allow the students in each of my schools to have a well-stocked occupational therapy space. The Trace Write Alphabet Center and other Lakeshore Learning games I am requesting will be tools to improve handwriting, fine motor skills, and sensory regulation. Please help my students have a welcoming occupational therapy space that has the supplies and materials displayed on shelves. Thank you for your help in providing the resources needed to help each student in a fun and engaging manner.
