🥧🍂 Every Skill Is a Piece of the Pie! 🧡

School-based OT is made up of so many important pieces! From fine motor and visual motor skills to self-care, sensory regulation, and classroom participation, each piece plays a role in helping students succeed at school. ✏️✂️

✨ The goal isn’t perfection. It’s building skills, promoting independence, and helping students meaningfully participate in their school day.

🦃 Here’s to celebrating every little piece of progress this Thanksgiving season!

This is a fun idea! First use the bar of soap, then move on to veggies!

Using a vegetable peeler to promote the bilateral coordination and motor planning needed for peeling vegetables is a good way to grade down the activity because of the soft texture of the soap.

Then, use the soap shavings like we did: https://www.theottoolbox.com/soap-shaving-bookmarks-craft-and-our/
