Description:

Creative Occupational Therapy Tools for Kids is a course to give you very practical “tools” to pull out and use daily with your students in almost any situation you may find yourself in when providing OT to school-aged students. In this course, I want to give you solid and grounded ideas that you can literally use anywhere. I want to show you practical things that you can store in your “toolbox” to pull out anytime, anywhere and without any “therapy” equipment. This course gives 2 full hours of real life activities to use in your "toolbox" everyday, in addition to 1.5 hours of technical knowledge, science based research and an in depth Activity Analysis worksheet to use with any activity. The sky's the limit in this course. It takes you from my ideas and treatment sessions to how to get your own creative juices flowing to incorporate fun with therapeutic with no extra cost and with no therapy equipment needed.
