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

My students have special needs and have occupational therapy (OT) mandates. To help achieve their individualized OT goals, the OT room is in need of some good sensory tools.

In the therapy room, students work on fine motor skills, strengthening skills, sensory regulation skills to help each student perform at their best in sessions, and back in their classroom with peers, and succeed in school.

When students come to the OT room, each student is expected to get ready, do work, and have a fun. Therefore, more creative tools are needed and we need your help!
