 Playdough is inexpensive to purchase and easy to make. It is something that most families have at home and can be incorporated easily into telehealth occupational therapy sessions. Playdough can be used to encourage a range of fine motor skills, play skills as well as shape, letter and number formation. Whilst I'm focusing on letter formation in this article, you can apply the same principles to learning shapes and numbers too. Playdough provides a child with an opportunity to learn these in a hands-on multisensory way. It will help to engage your child in learning too. This is particularly important when providing Telehealth OT services so that they child is not just a "viewer" of the OT on the screen, but an active participant during sessions. Here is an easy-to-make playdough recipe ---> PLAYDOUGH RECIPE Watch how to make playdough ---> Playdough Recipe You-Tube This article is also accompanied by a You-tube video seen below (if you are reading this online) or if you are reading this via my newsletter use this link ---> Playdough and the Alphabet You-Tube Video. When working on letter formation with my OT children, we are usually working in "letter families". Letters are grouped to allow children to learn the motor patterns needed when writing. It is also important to remember that letter formation requires a good foundation of skills including postural control, fine motor skills , pencil grasp and visual spatial skills to name a few. For more information: Read ---> Letter formation families Read ---> Fluency patterns and Drawing Pre-writing Lines/Shapes Read ---> A dynamic pencil grasp: why do we teach it? Read ---> Visual Perceptual Skills required for Handwriting Find all the Handwriting Articles ---> Handwriting Landing Page  Using Playdough for Teaching Letters: Familiarization, Formation, Legibility 1. Playdough and Alphabet Familiarization. If your child is learning the alphabet, unsure of letter names and what they look like... they may benefit from using playdough together with a visual prompt. You can use any alphabet cards or books that you may have to provide assist with alphabet familiarization . These cards/pages can be placed in a plastic display folder or even a ziplock bag to provide a surface for placing playdough on top. Young children can simply tear off pieces of playdough to cover up the letters. You may also incorporate:
2. Playdough and Letter Formation (Starting Points and Direction). Once your child is familiar with the alphabet, you may want to reinforce starting positions and direction of letters to assist them with writing. Playdough "sausage shapes" of various sizes are ideal for letter formation and can be placed down on the table (or printable) in the direction of formation. Children can make the letters on top of a visual prompt, alongside a visual prompt or by copying a model. They can trace the letters they have made with their finger, pinch or poke the letters. You can also add manipulatives such as buttons, beads, push pins, toothpicks to help mark out the starting points and direction of letter formation (with a extra benefit of working on fine motor skills simultaneously). "Letter roads" provide a great visual prompt to be used with playdough, cars or other items to help with starting points and direction. A "clockface" from the "Spalding Method" is a wonder multi-sensory way to provide visual and verbal prompts with letter formation. I have incorporated the use of playdough and a plastic lid to help mark out the starting points and direction of letters. I also find the use of a clockface especially useful when teaching magic c letters, z and e. This may involve initially working on where numbers are positioned on a clock before working on letter formation. Here's what I do with playdough...

Playdough and Handwriting Legibility As children develop skills for letter formation, they may be working on letter size or alignment to the writing line. I use "Earth paper" writing lines to assist with letter size and alignment. I use the single Earth Paper Lined page with a clear visual prompt of three coloured lines - blue (sky), green (grass) and brown (earth/dirt/mud). I use this to encourage children to place their playdough on particular lines (eg. small letters stay on the grass). I also use this together with the letter outlines flashcards on my screen so we can write the letters during OT sessions also.

Finger rhymes, hand actions, hand clapping, body percussion, mime ....
Occupational therapists love to encourage children of all ages to get their bodies and in particular their hands and fingers moving. Without realizing it, children can work on a range of skills in a fun natural way. Some of the benefits include:
How far are other people? How far can my fingers move? What direction can they move? Can my left side move independently to my right? Can they move simultaneously? Can may left arm and leg move together? Can my left arm and right leg move together? Can I move my arm across my body? Can I fix my eyes on the body parts moving? Can I work out all these movements with my eyes closed?
Can I coordinate them with a verbal instruction or song? Can I do this by copying someone else? Can I keep up with a group?
Can I remember the sequence on my own? Can I remember after the modelling has stopped, the next day or the next week? Do I need verbal and visual prompts to help me remember? Do I need someone to physically help me to organize my body?
Can some fingers be hidden away? Can I develop the arches of my hand? Can my thumb demonstrate opposition? Can I move move fingers without looking at them?
These ideas can be carried out at home, in the classroom, direct OT sessions and via Telehealth Occupational Therapy. (You can find more about Telehealth OT HERE)
1. Finger Rhymes and Songs. I loved singing to my kids when they were babies, toddlers and preschoolers. I was accused of being a "walking musical" as I would randomly break into song. I know that this doesn't come naturally to a lot of new parents and you don't have to be a great singer but I do think it is extremely important. Finger rhymes and songs especially in the early years... in addition to all the things I've mentioned above... can help with attachment and connection between parent and child, language development, cognitive concepts (such as learning numbers, shapes and letters). For Telehealth OT, you can sing and model the actions for your child. You could also play a song via a platform like Spotify for you both to sing and do the actions. I have collated some of my favourites for you to play on your own devices or to share with your families. Let me know if you want me to demonstrate some of these rhymes and songs! Watch --->Finger Play Rhymes and Songs You-Tube Video Read and Print---> 42 favourite Finger Play Rhymes and Songs. Spotify Playlist ---> YKOT Spotify Action Songs Preschool Rhyme Bundle --->YKOT shop Preschool Rhyme Printable Bundle. Hand and body movements to song are not restricted to little kids. Older kids may want to make up their own dance or movements to music or use their bodies to make music. There are lots of great You-tube videos that encourage movement. Read more ---> Brain Breaks for Kids. 2. Heavy Work for Little Fingers. This was a series of finger movements that I collated a few years ago to help prepare fingers for fine motor activities or handwriting. These movements include:
For Telehealth OT, you could model these actions for your child to copy. You could also share the pdf on a screenshare or email it to your families to print out. Watch ---> Heavy Work for Little Finger You-tube Video. Read more --->Heavy Work for Little Fingers. Printable Version ---> YKOT Shop Heavy Work for Little Fingers Printable. 3. Spin the Wheel: This wheel was created at Wheel Decide and I have entered a series of body movements. My focus is on crossing the midline and I can share this via my "screen share" function on my Telehealth Platform (Coviu). I spin the wheel for the child on my screen, I read the action and the child can perform the action. Sometimes I need to model the action or the parent/caregiver may also assist the child. For older children, I incorporate two or three movements in a sequence to remember and perform. Note: if you are reading this in my newsletter, you will need to go to my website to access the wheel (click on the little wheel decide logo on the bottom right and this will take you to seeing the wheel on it's own page) . You may prefer not to use the wheel but perform a series of "Simon Says" movements or your own motor patterns to copy. Children will love to also create motor patterns for you to copy. Watch --->Spin The Wheel You-Tube Video.
4. Hand Clapping Challenge. This hand clapping challenge that has been seen on Tik Tok and other social media channels. It is a series of hand actions which will appeal to older children and has been done in groups. I have found a You-tube video (not mine) which goes through the steps slowly---> Hand Clapping Challenge Instructions.
During Telehealth OT, I share the you-tube video on my screen and we watch the steps together. I often need pause the video and give my own even slower version of the steps for my OT child to copy. It is a really great way to work on motor planning, bilateral coordination and memory in particular! 5. Finger Aerobics. I created this simple page of coloured dots that I'm using for "finger aerobics". You can make one yourself or download my version for free ---->FREE Finger Aerobics Printable. I have used this to encourage wrist positioning (laying flat on the table), pointing with the index finger whilst tucking away the other fingers, crossing the midline, visual memory and various finger movements. It requires good visual attention and you can adapt this to be as hard or as easy as you would like. This printable page could also be used with small manipulatives like coins, pom poms, playdough, buttons! You can ask your child to place them on certain colours, move them in groups. keep a few in their hand whilst they place one down at a time. Watch ---> Finger Aerobics You Tube Video 
I hope you try some of these ideas! Let me know if you do and don't forget to watch the you-tube videos to watch me put these in action!

 Sensory play is so engaging and encourages hands-on learning! Occupational Therapists love to use sensory play as this is how children learn about their bodies and the world around them. Sensory trays or sensory bins have been a popular way to bring different textures and experiences together for children. Sensory trays are examples of "open-ended" play. This means that there is no set beginning, middle or end... it encourages children to explore, experiment, feel, touch, move their fingers and hands.... even their feet or other parts of their body. Think about traditional sand boxes and water trays... these are examples of sensory trays (or bins). Kids can spend hours exploring different actions like digging, pouring, squishing and poking using these sensory trays. Today I want to share more sensory tray ideas. You can use food items such as flour, rice and salt; however in this current climate where we are conscious about food going to people who need to eat... let's look at non-food sensory trays! I will also give you some tips for helping a child who doesn't like sensory play and how you can encourage them. Before I share my suggestions, if you are a parent and are ready to stop reading/stop watching because you are worried about the mess... just wait! There are lots of ideas for you to "contain the mess". You can:
Tips for setting up your Sensory Trays - Three things to consider
 6 Non-Food Sensory Trays 1) Dirt with leaves and gumnuts. This is definitely one for the outdoors. Add some pebbles, a small spade, a small digging fork or even a small watering can. 2) Shredded paper, Easter eggs and tongs. Depending on how much paper you have, kids could forage through the paper with their hands. They could use the tongs to move the paper away or to hunt for Easter eggs. Tongs and large tweezers are a great way to build hand strength. Encourage your child to hold these in the webspace of their hand (ie. space between their thumb and index finger), using two or three fingers on top and tucking away their fourth and fifth fingers into the palm of their hand. 3) Packaging peanuts and small buttons. This is tray is full of high contrasts because of the brightly coloured buttons and perfect for toddlers or preschools. You can sneak in some fine motor skill development with a pincer or tripod grasp. 4) Pom Poms and Plastic eggs. Encourage your child to use the eggs to scoop and pour pom poms. They can match the eggs together and shake. You could work on colour matching. The shape of eggs make them a perfect way to work on fine motor skills such as palmar arches of the hand, finger flexion and thumb opposition. 5) Shaving cream with plastic toys. This will be a joy for some and bring anguish to others because of the texture of shaving cream. It is definitely one that you could do in the bath or shower for those who love to explore with shaving cream. For those who may be hesitant, you could try placing items on top of the shaving cream and have them poke it with one finger or use something to pick it up (like tongs). You could give your child a stick or paintbrush to swirl the shaving cream. Try moving to smaller sticks and maybe even a toothpick. Add some food colouring for more fun. When your child can tolerate incidentally touching the shaving cream, you can begin to submerge the toy partly in to the shaving cream and then fully. Children will progress with their tactile tolerance and sensitivity at difference paces. For some it can happen within a day and for others it will take months. You can also do a few things before you expose your child to a texture that they don't want to touch. Try deep pressure activities such as throwing and catching a ball, animal walks where the child is putting weight through their hands, try rubbing their hands in a towel or asking them to rub their hands together before playing. Have a towel handy to rub their hands or hold their hands within the towel when they have had enough of touching the texture. You can also encourage them to use different body parts. Maybe they can tolerate the texture on their foot or their elbow. 6) Kinetic Sand with stones and shells. Some children will also have a tactile defensive reaction to sand. You can follow a similar tactic to what I have just mentioned with shaving cream, although there are some adults I know who are still tactile defensive to sand and refuse to go to the beach. Kinetic sand continues to draw my children (who say they are too old for these trays) into play. They have set up for a few weeks now in my office and it is this one that draws them in each time. They love to explore the movement of kinetic sand. Early on when I first started the Your Kids OT blog, I did a comparison between Kinetic Sand and homemade Cloud Dough. Find this article HERE as well as 7 invitations to play with Kinetic Sand. You could easily switch out some of the contents of these trays. Try puzzle pieces with the packaging peanuts, add sight words to the shredded paper, etc. You could have one type of tray set up for the week (eg. shredded paper) and each day set up a different "invitation to play". Monday - shredded paper, magnetic letters and place this in front of the refrigerator. Tuesday - shredded paper, felt pieces and a felt board to place the pieces onto. Wednesday - shredded paper, tongs and puzzle pieces. Thursday - shredded paper, cardboard rolls, small cars. Friday - shredded paper, easter eggs, tweezers.  AND you can incorporate cleaning up as part of the activity. "Lets set a timer and see how much shredded paper we can get back into the box/tray/bin!"

 It has been a week of stepping out of my comfort zone and trying lots of things for the first time! Did you see my first You-tube video? Have a look at how to encourage fine motor skill development using clothespins ie. pegs in Australia or Mandal in Turkish (thanks @babaterapist on IG).----> Fine Motor Skill Development Using Clothespins You-Tube. (My children are partly-horrified and partly-proud that their mama is now a "You-Tuber" !) I'm also new to Telehealth Occupational Therapy and the sessions that I have had this week have been so much fun! Whilst I'm new to Telehealth (or teletherapy), Telehealth is not new. It has been widely used especially in rural and remote regions. The World Federation of Occupational Therapists released a position statement in 2014 which includes the following: Telehealth is the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) to deliver health-related services when the provider and client are in different physical locations. Telehealth may be used for evaluation, intervention, monitoring, supervision, and consultation (between remote therapist, client, and/or local health-care provider) as permitted by jurisdictional, institutional, and professional regulations and policies governing the practice of occupational therapy. Telehealth is an appropriate delivery model for occupational therapy services when in-person services are not possible, practical, or optimal for delivering care and/or when service delivery via telehealth is mutually acceptable to the client and provider. (World Federation of Occupational Therapists, 2014 Telehealth Position Statement). Put simply, Telehealth is a way for occupational therapists to use an online platform to deliver occupational therapy services. Telehealth is a service delivery method. You still get an OT on the end of the video call who provides clinical observations, assessment, advice, support, encouragement and applies their problem solving skills to assist your child to perform their activities of daily living. In fact Telehealth may be a video call with direct interaction with the child, it may be a phone conversation with a parent, it may be a parent sending through photos/videos for discussion with their therapist... there are lots of options. Yes there may be more involvement with a parent or caregiver during Telehealth sessions. I see this as a good thing that families are engaged in applying therapy in the home. This is what OTs always encourage even when a child is being seen face to face. There is little vantage if a child can learn skills when with their OT and then not carry it over into any other situation. "Parent coaching" is something that OTs have always encouraged! Here are a few more detailed explanations and resources of Telehealth services:
Australian OT friends, you may be interested in :
There are number of people who are also promoting webinars explaining Telehealth to therapists as well as as number of FB groups popping up! I'll leave it to your discretion to find one that suits you but always check your local registration requirements, insurance and practice standards. For parents, here are a few you-tube videos (not mine) that show you some session examples:
Sessions will look different for each child and each individual therapist will have their own "spin" on how they present things. I will be blogging my journey into Telehealth services and sharing what works for me and what doesn't! I'm using "Coviu"as my Telehealth Platform and this meets data encryption requirements for Australia. Families join via a link (like a telephone number) and do not need to download an app. Things I'm loving so far with this platform include the interactive whiteboard feature and the ability to share my screen or file (which then lets us jointly edit whatever I have shared). Some OTs have mentioned that they are using Telehealth on a tablet that allows them to write directly on the whiteboard and/or asking their families to do the same. Connectivity has been variable and I can't control that as it depends on the client's internet connection. I have a basic plan with Coviu so I can't speak about other features like waiting room music, multiple therapists, managing appointment bookings and recording sessions. I know that Coviu has the capability to do these things as well as being compatible with practice management software. If you are interested in exploring this Telehealth Platform, I would suggest doing their free online webinar. If you sign up to Coviu, I would appreciate it if you use my referral code: qt9v87. Thanks! This is how I've set up my Telehealth sessions. (Ignore my old desktop monitor and keyboard which I keep because it has some functions that my laptop does not). I have raised my laptop on a monitor stand. I use a selfie light (purchased a long time ago on e-bay) to hold my phone and provide extra lighting if needed. I have my resources ready on my desk but out of view of the camera. I can adjust the laptop screen so that it can see the resources where I have the flashcards (Learning Without Tears cards).  The children whom I'm seeing via Telehealth services are all children whom I have worked with for a long time. I think that this helps straight away as I have rapport and respect from them which has been built up over time. My first tips for starting Teleheath for OTs:
 Whilst many of us are venturing into this new online world with some gusto, Telehealth services will not suit all families and all children. That's ok too. In a world without COVID-19, Telehealth would be offered in conjunction with other service delivery models including face-to-face occupational therapy. It is a time of heightened anxiety, lots of unknown, families trying to juggle multiple concerns such as work, home schooling and health....for some Telehealth will provide a lifeline of support via their occupational therapist and for others it will be too overwhelming. Some of my OT families have elected to have individualized home programs for their children. This is a great way to implement therapy at home also!
