Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

I am an occupational therapist working in a low socioeconomic area in the Bronx, NY and my students face a multitude of challenges. For instance, most of my students do not have the necessary tools such as puzzles, games, and toys to support the development of foundational skills needed to grow, play, and learn.

As an occupational therapist, I am always looking for new ways to engage and help my students develop skills through play.

The Montessori puzzles and board games will help my students strengthen their cognitive and visual skills which are foundational skills for engaging in school-related activities. Likewise, the filo-lacing game will help my students develop and promote the fine motor skills needed to hold writing and coloring tools efficiently.

My students are very curious and eager to learn!! Having access to these items in occupational therapy sessions will help my students become more engaged and stronger learners. Thank you for supporting this project!
