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

Handwriting is such an important life skill that is learned and taught in early childhood. Handwriting gives children and adults alike independence, and the ability to express ideas, thoughts, and identity through writing. As an occupational therapist, I understand that there are such complex layers to handwriting such as a foundation in fine motor, motor planning, and graphomotor skills.

Within occupational therapy, many of my students needed additional support and access to accommodations that support and foster the foundations to build handwriting skills.

The supplies listed today such as adapted paper, pencils, markers, letter tracers, white eraser makers, and reading highlighters will help support students in their learning & writing journey.
