The sun on our backs, the waves at our feet, books on the beach, cold drinks, long summer days... ahh the summer school holidays have been a wonderful time to relax with my children, re-charge my senses, reflect and plan for the year ahead. 

I have even had some time to devote to this blog! 

January is all about getting resources ready for the new school year.  

For each new year and each new OT child; I provide a workbook to record things we do each week. This often works as a communication tool with parents when they are not present for sessions.  This year I have combined some of my most used resources together at the beginning of the workbook to provide an introduction to OT and a reference to look back on.  I have created separate "school age" and "preschool age" pages. 
​

The "school-age" pages include...

• a choice of two covers 
• a "cheat sheet" with pencil grasp, handwriting rules, neat writer's checklist, letters and numbers. 
• OT rules (including a place to sign to say they agree and will bring their book to OT)
• OT homework grid (The original grid has been updated with 25 new activities ... a total of 50 activities... addressing the areas of core muscle strength, bilateral coordination, hand strength, pincer grasp and letter formation.  There are some blank stars to colour in or mark off when homework has been completed.) 

The "preschool" pages include:

• a title page
• a "cheat sheet" with pencil grasp, alphabet and pictures, shapes and numbers
• a parents' instruction page to encourage the use of vertical surfaces, heavy work, pincer grasp, bilateral coordination, movement and more!

I plan to use these "cheat sheets" with my new Kindy kids who are having difficulty with pre-writing and pre-scissor skills too!

I created these pages for my own use but I'm sharing them with you too.  Not an OT? You may want to use my "cheat sheets" at home or display them in your classroom! You are welcome to distribute them to individual children or families in your class.  Please re-direct your colleagues or friends to this page to get copies here for themselves!

My friend Jaime at  MissJaimeOT is introducing a Manipulation Dot Packet to address fine motor skills in a fun way!  This printable packet has been designed to be use with whatever fine motor trinkets you have on hand - pom poms, stickers, coins, bingo chips, beads, you name it.  You can print it over and over and the possibilities are endless!

You can work on a huge list of goals: developing hand dominance, crossing the midline, in-hand manipulation and translation, grasping skills, separation of the two sides of the hand and increasing speed and coordination of upper extremities. 

This is a must-have printable for any therapist who has limited time and supplies. I can't wait to use my copy!  Plus.. the progress tracking sheet allows you to easily keep track of your child's abilities over the course of a therapy session or the whole school year.  Parents can grab a page and incorporate the week's spelling words while giving their child a fun motor activity to boost manipulation skills.  Teachers can set up the pages for a quick and easy "motor centre" that easily incorporates maths and literacy.

How awesome is that?!!

The Manipulation Dot Activity Packet is available for sale at $7.99 US until Saturday January 25th (midnight EST- US time). You can get your packet here ----> Manipulation Dot Activity Packet
