My Project

I'm requesting tools for my OT room such as sensory foot bounces, a sensory tent, life skill games, a visual schedule organizer, handwriting adaptive paper, and wobble chairs to help my students stay focused, regulate their emotions, and improve their executive functioning and handwriting capabitilies. These tools will not only support their academic growth but also help them develop essential life skills.

My goal is to create a safe space where every student that I have in Occupational Therapy, from elementary to high school, feels comfortable, confident, and ready to grow in their abilities.

My students are unique and hardworking, each with their own challenges, and these tools will help them thrive academically and personally. Thank you for supporting their journey to success!
