Fall Fun: The Little Farmer Fieldtrip

We had our first Best Buddies fieldtrip today.  We went to the Little Farmer in Malone, WI.  The students got to go on a wagon ride, pick a pumpkin and eat carmel apples.  On the tour we learned about the importance of honey bees and ladybugs in an apple orchard.  We had lunch at the outdoor picnic area and had to fight off the bees!  The kids got to climb a giant haystack maze.  Overall we had a great time and had magnificent weather!

Occupational Therapy in Schools

What is Occupational Therapy? Occupational Therapy is the used of therapeutic activities to increase or enhance motor skills.  In the schools, an occupational therapist assists students to develop core strength, fine motor development, and become independent with self-help skills.  Typically, we help students improve handwriting skills, self-help skills, and overall fine motor development.  Occupational Therapists use purposeful activities to further develop fine and gross motor skills. 

You can watch the following video for an overview of Occupational Therapy interventions for handwriting difficulties.
