  • Bye Bye Germs!

    Funded Jan 17, 2024

    Thank you so much for your contributions to my students. We have already gone through some of the tissues purchased and I am so glad to be able to quickly provide more tissues when needed! We use the disinfectant wipes daily between student sessions to keep everyone healthy and the the gloves really come in handy for that! The paper towels are exactly what we needed too!

    Thank you so much for helping provide what are (I feel) basic classroom necessities during the school day! Children deserve a clean and healthy environment for learning!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Shoshana

  • Financial Literacy Starts Young

    Funded Sep 24, 2023

    Thank you so much for these items. Financial literacy is so important at any age but the younger we start the better!

    The students love the money bingo game and it is a great way for us to teach financial literacy. I noticed that students really did not even know the names of the coins and wanted to try and add in components of these skills to our therapy sessions.

    The headphones also really help block out the noise in the room when we have a lot of students working in the therapy room at once.

    As always, your contributions to our students mean the world to us!”

  • Some Tissues and a New White Board

    Funded Sep 8, 2023

    We have received our supplies and already put them to good use! Our new tissues are a therapy room staple and the kids love having a box easily accessible for them so they can use it as they need. Since most students at my school are on the lunch program, I really don't like asking families for any supplies so even something as "small" as tissues makes a HUGE impact!

    The new Easel is INCREDIBLE! When I tell you I feel like it is the top of the line I am not kidding! Up until now I have used whatever easel I could find around the school building and they were usually in less than perfect condition, to put it nicely. The base of this one is smaller, which makes my tiny therapy space look and feel huge to me and my students. It also has wheels so it can be moved around easily- GAME CHANGER!

    The dry erase markers are also so great! These Crayola brand are a huge upgrade from the Expo ones I usually am given and they write and erase so smoothly and without leaving any residue.

    If you ever doubted how much of an impact your donation made please know that every time I use any item that was funded through donors choose, I am so so thankful for donors like you!”

  • Occupational Therapy Without Tears

    Funded May 15, 2023

    Thank you so much for your incredible donation to my students. We are so excited about the new Handwriting without tears materials which will help us reach our goals for this year!

    We were desperately in need of new Handwriting without tears Mats and wooden blocks to practice creating letters. We also are already putting our sharpener to good use to transfer those letter writing skills with pencil and paper!

    Cannot wait to see what this new year brings for all of us and I know these supplies will help us!”

  • Supplies to Start the School Year

    Funded Aug 10, 2022

    Thank you so much for your generous donation to my Occupational Therapy Room. Your contributions have greatly enhanced my therapy practice and helped to give my students the resources they need to thrive. My students really enjoy the woodland themed animal decorations as well as the vine decorations.

    In addition, the legi-liner stamps are really helping my students improve their writing and visual perceptual skills.

    Because of your contribution please know that you made a difference in the lives of these students.”

  • Supplies for Our Occupational Therapy Space

    Funded Feb 4, 2022

    Thank you so much for your generous donation to our OT thereapy space. The difference these items make in our OT sessions is so amazing. My students and I love having good functioning expo markers in different bright colors which helps make learning our letters fun and colorful! The obstacle course brings so much fun to our sessions and helps develop important skills. We also love using the 'rapper snapper' fidgets!

    The staple gun is used by me to decorate our bulletin board And has been so helpful and wonderful for hanging up fun things on the bulletin board!

    We are so thankful to you and want you to know what a different these suppplies make.”

  • Fine Motor Fun

    Funded Nov 2, 2021

    Thank you so much for your generous donations. We are working hard here in our OT room improving our fine motor skills thanks to all the fun new games you provided. When my students first saw each game they were so excited and now they even request that we use these new supplies! A new favorite item are the letter eggs. It takes a "boring" activity like reviewing letter names and letter formation to a whole new fun level. My students are engaged, having fun and strengthening these skills all because of you!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Shoshana

  • iPad for My OT Students

    Funded Oct 12, 2021

    I need to express my sincerest thank you for helping my student and I reach our goal. Our new iPad is helping our students with their letter formation as well as visual spatial skills. Their eyes light up when we 'play' educational games on the iPad to help them develop these skills! Even the toughest critics are suddenly engaged in their learning!

    We also love using the iPad for movement breaks to get our wiggles out when needed and to help keep track of time With a visual timer (for my students who are visual learners).

    The way this new technology has enhanced my therapy practice is truly unmatched and I will forever be grateful to you.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Shoshana

As an Occupational Therapist in a high need area, I know that our school community is a safe space for many of our students, which is why I try to make our therapy sessions as fun and engaging as possible. Utilizing an iPad during OT sessions will help my students learn using a multi-sensory approach which is vital in allowing my students to meet their goals and access their education. Utilizing the iPad will allow students to improve letter formation, emotional regulation skills, turn taking skills, as well as visual spatial skills. We will use specific apps and games to target these skills while enhancing the students ability to focus all while making the learning process more enjoyable. The work we do in our therapy room helps our students build skills that will aid them in the classroom as well as far beyond the school setting. A new iPad will help target skills for students with all different learning styles so that they can achieve maximum success!
