The Zones of Regulation curriculum is a great way for your child to learn how to identify emotions and also to identify strategies to use to achieve a regulated state! When our bodies are regulated, we are ready to learn!

Maximizing Potentials, it’s what we live for!

In preschool early intervention, occupational therapists (OTs) play a vital role in supporting young children (ages 3–5) who have developmental delays or disabilities. Here’s what an OT might do in this setting:

🖐️ Fine Motor Development
Help children improve hand strength, grasp, and dexterity
Support skills like using crayons, scissors, and puzzles
Prepare for writing readiness and pre-handwriting skills

🧠 Sensory Processing Support
Help children manage sensory sensitivities or seek appropriate sensory input
Use sensory strategies to improve focus, attention, and emotional regulation

👕 Self-Care Skills
Clothing needed at school (coat zippers, buttons, snaps, etc.)
Feeding (snacks and drinks), toileting, and hygiene routines
Support independence in daily classroom activities

🧩 Play & Social Participation
Use play-based activities to build motor, social, and cognitive skills
Encourage turn-taking, sharing, and cooperative play

🎒 Classroom Participation
Adapt classroom tools, materials, and routines
Recommend modifications or assistive devices if needed

🤝 Family & Teacher Collaboration
Provide strategies and home activities for families
Train teachers on techniques to support the child in class
Participate in IEP (Individualized Education Plan) meetings

The OT’s goal in early intervention is to help children become as independent and successful as possible in their preschool environment, setting the stage for a smooth transition into kindergarten.
