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

Kinesthetic learners have a better memory retention when they're actively doing something while learning, prefer active learning environments where they can move around and engage with the material, and benefit from using movement and physical activity techniques. By doing things, they can physically connect with the concept, which helps with memory retention & skill acquisition. This can lead to better academic performance and greater engagement with the learning process and as a school-based occupational therapist it is my job to assist students in skill acquisitions required for them to participate in their school environment. Part of this includes tailoring treatment sessions to the learning styles of my students. Most of my students have fine motor difficulties which prevents them from engaging in meaningful activities (occupations) required for their role as a student.

It is my goal to provide them with engaging and purposeful activities to improve their fine motor, memory, and visual motor skills to function in a school environment.

With items such as Wonderfoam Lacing Letters and Numbers Set, Design & Drill Activity Center, Mystery Alphabet Box for Kids Letters Sorting Matching Game Activities Letter Sounds Fine Motor Learning Toys, 142 Pcs Fine Motor Skills Toys Handy Scooper Set Sensory Bin Filler 12 Sorting Bowls 8 Tweezers 2 Scissors Clips 120 Plush Balls for Early Education and Sorting Counting Training Development, and Jumbo Rainbow Tongs 6 Piece Toys and Games Set, Fine Motor Skills Handy Scoopers Rainbow Color Sorting, they can improve their fine motor skills to perform school related activities.

My students are so easy to love and I want to do everything possible to provide them with all the tools they need to make their school-based occupational therapy experience constructive and meaningful.
