24.01.2022 New kid on the block! Kids in Colour provide personalised social stories that are delivered as colouring in and activity books to help our little ones cope with change, transitions and new experiences Check them out on Facebook and Instagram

24.01.2022 HOME ACTIVITY We love this idea from @putthefuninfunction_ot ! Use a water dropper to squeeze small blobs of water over all the letters you are looking for You can write all of the letters on paper towel for your child so that they can watch them disappear as they are marked! Make sure your child uses a pincer grip (between the thumb and index finger) when completing the task and watch the magic happen

23.01.2022 Doodle Arrows A great printable at- home resource for lockdown from @yourtherapysource, working on pencil control, pre writing patterns, visual discrimination, figure ground, spatial concepts and prepositions! #occupationaltherapy #ot #school #schoolwork #scissorskills #finemotor #finemotorskills #grossmotor #grossmotorskills #sensory #sensoryplay #sensoryprocessingdisorder #sensoryoverload #emotions #regulation #zonesofregulation #midlinecrossing #fragilexsyndrome #autism #autistic #autismawareness #asd #kids #add #sensorygym #kindergarten #dexterity #pencilgrip #motorplanning #writing W.S.OT

22.01.2022 A wonderful social story about having your temperature taken from @autismlittlelearners Social stories are so important to prepare our kids for unfamiliar experiences. With most schools and businesses requiring temperature checks as a condition of entry, sharing this with your little ones can help alleviate any anxiety around the situation Paste the link below in to your browser or click the link for access https://www.dropbox.com//Getting%20My%20Temperature%20T...ake #occupationaltherapy #ot #school #schoolwork #scissorskills #finemotor #finemotorskills #grossmotor #grossmotorskills #sensory #sensoryplay #sensoryprocessingdisorder #sensoryoverload #emotions #regulation #zonesofregulation #midlinecrossing #fragilexsyndrome #autism #autistic #autismawareness #asd #kids #add #sensorygym #kindergarten #dexterity #pencilgrip #motorplanning #writing W.S.OT See more

21.01.2022 Zoom fun to warm up our fingers before working on a handwriting task First we used our playdoh to create noughts and crosses for our game Then we rolled long sausages of dough between our hands to create a game board Using screen sharing we told each other what number space we were placing our piece in #occupationaltherapy #ot #school #schoolwork #scissorskills #finemotor #finemotorskills #grossmotor #grossmotorskills #sensory #sensoryplay #sensoryprocessingdisorder #sensoryoverload #emotions #regulation #zonesofregulation #midlinecrossing #fragilexsyndrome #autism #autistic #autismawareness #asd #kids #add #sensorygym #kindergarten #dexterity #pencilgrip #motorplanning #writing W.S.OT

21.01.2022 An excellent activity for FRIDAY FUN from @kids.in.colour 1. Have your child trace over the letter, trying their best to stay on the lines while doing so. 2. Have your child use the muscles in their hands to squeeze out small blobs of glue along the letter. Our younger kiddos may need help with this part! 3. Encourage your child to place their favourite cereal, nuts, sultanas or even little treasures they have found in the garden carefully on each blob of glue, remembering to use a pincer grip (between their thumb and index finger) while doing so!

21.01.2022 HANDY HINT Use some blue tac around the bottom of a pencil to provide a proprioceptive and visual cue for those kiddos who hold their pencil too close to the tip Pencil control should also be developed in order to use the pencil for writing tasks accurately #occupationaltherapy #ot #artandcraft #schoolwork #animalwalk #finemotor #finemotorskills #grossmotor #grossmotorskills #sensory #sensoryplay #visualperception #sensoryoverload #kids #regulation #learning #fragilexsyndrome #autism #autistic #autismawareness #asd #children #add #sensorygym #kindergarten #teacher #homeschool #prep #school #homelearning W.S.OT

20.01.2022 We are BACK in the clinic and loving seeing our kids again! Here’s what we got up to this morning using this amazing resource! Choose a letter without looking Match the letter and sound Complete the movement Think of a word that begins with the same letter and write it down... This activity can also be used to create and write your own movements for older kiddos This is such an engaging way to work on gross motor skills, motor planning, provide sensory input, work on regulation and body awareness, bilateral skills, attend to a writing task, recognise letters and sounds, and work on letter formation and placement of these on the baseline See more

20.01.2022 FACE MASKS As face masks become compulsory in Victoria from today, here is another fantastic social story from @autismlittlelearners to prepare our kids for their upcoming OT sessions Share this with your child before arriving at your next session and please remember as parents that if you are entering the clinic with your child then you will need to provide and wear a mask too Paste the link below in to your browser for access https://www.dropbox.com//Why%20does%2...0my%20OT%20look%20dif #occupationaltherapy #ot #school #schoolwork #scissorskills #finemotor #finemotorskills #grossmotor #grossmotorskills #sensory #sensoryplay #sensoryprocessingdisorder #sensoryoverload #emotions #regulation #zonesofregulation #midlinecrossing #fragilexsyndrome #autism #autistic #autismawareness #asd #kids #add #sensorygym #kindergarten #dexterity #pencilgrip #motorplanning #writing W.S.OT See more

12.01.2022 Getting creative with animal walks! Animal walks are a fantastic way to get some vestibular and proprioceptive input in to your body! They are also a great way to work on core and neck strength and endurance, bilateral coordination, motor planning and shoulder and wrist stability, not to mention being a brilliant brain break for classrooms or indoor spaces.

07.01.2022 We absolutely LOVED this mornings activity! Here’s what we did 1 Rolled the dice to determine how many pegs we needed to pick up 2 Identified an emotion on the therapists face and matched it to the zones of regulation to determine the colour pegs we needed 3 Held on to our pegs in our dominant hand and used in hand manipulation to move them from our palms to our fingertips without dropping any... 4 Put our visual motor integration skills to the test by copying the peg board pattern we created, making X’s over each space to also work on pre writing patterns and pencil control 5 Had way too much fun while doing all of the above! #occupationaltherapy #ot #school #schoolwork #scissorskills #finemotor #finemotorskills #grossmotor #grossmotorskills #sensory #sensoryplay #sensoryprocessingdisorder #sensoryoverload #emotions #regulation #zonesofregulation #fragilex #fragilexsyndrome #autism #autistic #autismawareness #asd #kids #add #sensorygym #kindergarten #dexterity #pencilgrip #motorplanning #writing W.S.OT See more
