Bringing Fun Into Function!

Funded Jul 15, 2021

I am overwhelmed by your generosity for my hard working students. I have been able to incorporate all your donations to help achieve the fine motor goals set for my students. As an Occupational Therapist utilizing your donations has helped strengthen their areas of weakness.

As an Occupational Therapist, I need materials that are hands on and engaging to encourage participation on skills that are normally challenging for my students to complete. Having fresh materials each year allows my students to participate with enthusiasm and gives them a desire to attend future therapy sessions. Some of the specific items donated include a Cricut machine and supplies and iPad with pencil. These items have provided creative ways during this stressful COVID season to focus on goals during face to face therapy and virtual therapy. We have been incorporating these items by utilizing the Cricut and tools to produce personalized take home therapy activities, as well as fun creative in person activities that target fine motor skills.

The majority of my students come from low socioeconomic homes and incorporating the iPad and pencil have allowed them to stay engaged with growth of their fine motor skills with updated technology.”

With gratitude,
