Occupational Therapy Room

Help me give my students everything they need to support their fine motor, visual motor and sensory processing skills in their school environment

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Olivia's classroom raised $608

This project is fully funded

My Project

As an occupational therapist in the school setting, I work with my students on a variety of skills to help them reach their academic goals! Our OT sessions target skills including fine motor skills, visual motor integration, handwriting and pre-writing skills, self-help, bilateral coordination, sensory processing, and executive functioning skills! Everything on this list will go towards engaging each student in fun and educational activities, while also targeting all the skills above in order to promote independence in their classrooms and allow them to fully participate in their school environment.

Ms. Olivia Tuggle Elementary School Grades PreK-2

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
