My Students

Hello, My name is Ms. Kenzie and I am an occupational therapy assistant in a few schools in Illinois. I have approximately 30 students give or take on my caseload.

My students are very special to me and each have their own individual needs that I intend to meet.

I see children from Kindergarten-High school. Most of my kiddos have fine motor and visual motor delays. I enjoy working with these kiddos every week and they hold a special place in my heart. I really want to do anything I can to help benefit them and help teach them the skills they need to succeed.

My Project

For my project I am wanting to get an iPad for my students to use. I think it is very important to make learning fun and enjoyable for kids. I feel like they will get more out of learning if it is something enjoyable to them.

I am hoping to get funded for this iPad so that my students can benefit from it.

There are so many educational games, puzzles and even handwriting tasks that they could tremendously benefit from.

This iPad will be used to help kids work on finger isolation tasks, working on handwriting and even puzzles and games to work on visual motor skills that the children need to be successful in their education.
