🚀 Occupational Therapy Vision

My vision in Occupational Therapy is to create a positive, supportive, and "can-do" environment. This is a space where every student is empowered to discover their strengths, build new skills, and celebrate their progress. I believe everyone can succeed, and my mission is to find the "just right" tools and strategies to help students participate confidently and independently in their "job" of being a student—whether that's in the classroom, on the playground, or during daily routines.

🎯 Occupational Therapy Goals for This Year

To achieve the vision, we will work together on these goals:

• We will strengthen our "hands-on" skills by practicing activities that build our fine motor skills for writing, cutting, and using school tools.

• We will build our "super-strength" skills by working on our balance, coordination, and whole-body movements for play and school activities.

• We will become "body-aware" by learning and using strategies to help our bodies feel calm, focused, and "just right" for learning.

• We will boost our independence by practicing daily living skills, such as managing zippers, buttons, and our school supplies.

• We will sharpen our visual skills to help us with reading, copying from the board, and organizing our work neatly on the page.

• We will build our confidence by embracing new challenges, learning to problem-solve, and celebrating all our hard work.
