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 a school-based occupational therapist working with children from grades 3K-5. Big focus areas for these students are fine motor coordination/strength and visual perception so that they can participate in classroom activities, such as writing and drawing. Not only do these skills help these students keep up with their peers, but they build a sense of confidence that they carry throughout life. Unfortunately, many of the students I see do not have access to all the resources they need to be successful in school.

Children are most engaged in their learning when they are motivated and interested in the task at hand.

And what better way to tap into their motivation than by giving them fun and exciting hands-on opportunities!

By donating to add these games and supplies to the OT room, my students will develop their skills in a way that is actually meaningful to them. Improvement in their academic abilities will only boost their participation and self-esteem.
