My Project

School-based Occupational Therapy treats the whole person of a student and addresses the underlying factors that affect school participation. Within our occupational therapy room, we treat over 60 students ranging from PreK to 6th grade. Our students get services for various reasons that may impact their participation in the classroom and school day. Students may have a diagnosis of ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Cognitive Delays, Sensory Processing Disorder, Developmental Delays, and a variety of other conditions.

Treatment sessions that incorporate movement and sensory processing tools that excite and calm the body, promote greater participation and engagement.

The sensory equipment that I am asking for such as the therapy ball, bean bag, scooter board, body socks, and pea pod, all provide input to various sensory systems. This equipment will help to foster self-regulation for students to better understand their sensory needs and allow for progress toward their OT goals!
