These materials will be used in school if the student chooses the in school option and school is open. Due to increased concern with spreading germs, each student would have their own bin of materials and supplies at school. In other cases, my students may choose to do virtual school and teletherapy sessions, or if School closes again, each student will have their own bin of supplies to take home. With limited resources, this would give them more opportunities to build on their skills from home. With these items, I can create hundreds of different occupational therapy activities to work on fine motor and visual motor skills at home. For example, I can use popsicle sticks to copy and build shapes with, to balance small items on for fine motor skills or to create a multi step fine motor activity. All of these activities are for goals that relate to their academic success. For example, a student may use Play-Dough to build strength in his hand muscles so that he has the endurance to write with a pencil in class. These materials will especially help those students who are home and have limited items to participate in therapy with.
