My Students

I work as an occupational therapist at a Title 1 school in Brooklyn. Many of my students are being raised in single-parent households and receive a free lunch based on their socioeconomic status. Our classes serve students with a range of disabilities, including intellectual disabilities, emotional disturbance, autism spectrum disorder and specific learning disabilities. The typical students that I service have difficulties with writing, manipulating snaps, buttons, and zippers. They have difficulty navigating the school environment without assistance. Despite having these difficulties they still enjoy coming to school.

My Project

As an occupational therapist I assist the children with improving their fine motor skills which include buttoning, zipping, shoe tying and handwriting. The children I see all have visual perceptual delays which affect their handwriting. For example, the children are unable to make the letters touch the line, others write passed the margins, or some of them form their letters backward or upside down. Instead of buying expensive adaptable notebooks for each child, I can download, create, and print the special paper according to what each child needs using a printer. I am requesting 2 ink cartridges to print out activities to help each student write better.
