Oral Motor Activity Highlight: Ghost Painting! 👻

This activity is an easy way to target different oral motor skills while enjoying the spooky season!

When setting this activity up for your clients, consider the following principles in your selection of the just right straw:

👻Smaller straw, higher lip closure demands; Larger straw, lower lip closure demands

👻Longer straw, higher breath control demands; Shorter straw, lower breath control demands

Have fun and stay spooky!

We had the opportunity during our weekly staff meeting to hear from Teresa May-Benson, ScD, OTR/L, FAOTA, an expert in sensory integration and praxis!

It was so fun for our OTs and SLPs to learn from Teresa together and incorporate her research and findings into our treatment sessions.

Looking forward to having her back soon! 📖

Fine Motor Activity Highlight! 🍁🍂

Leaf stamps make for a fun fall activity! Make sure to have a visual model to provide some inspiration and support praxis skills. Consider ways to grade the activity up or down to support your client's skill level, such as bigger or smaller stamps. Do it on an upright surface to support increased proximal stability!

Have fun! 😊

Welcome to season 4 of OTA’s Survivor! 😎

The Perfect Purple Penguins were the sole survivors of this season! 🏆

However, the Wacky Wednesdays Winners did win the equipment scavenger hunt fashion show! 🥈

Breakout is a great activity to provide proprioceptive opportunities and targets motor planning skills.

Our lovely clinicians had a wonderful time connecting while also gaining some great input during our weekly meeting time! 🤗

Visual Vestibular Activity Highlight: Trapeze Tic-Tac-Toe! ❌⭕️

This activity is a fun spin on tic-tac-toe making it more of a big body game. As always, make sure to consider the postural and praxis demands of the client when using the trapeze.

Ways to grade the game for the "just right match":

❌ Increase or decrease the size of the board

⭕️Change the type of token you use (weight, size, etc.)

Have fun!
