As part of the ELC class, an occupational therapist works in partnership with the classroom teacher to provide an integrated service. Occupational therapy helps guide development fine motor and gross motor skills. Our areas of practice in the school are fine motor skills (ex: cutting, coloring, and writing), gross motor (ex: balance and jumping) and self help skills (ex: feeding). You may hear occupational therapy called “OT” for short. Each day during class, your child practices fine and gross motor skills. Practice and play is just as important as therapy!

The teacher provides daily fine motor practice in activities like stringing beads, using tongs, coloring, cutting, and pencil grasp, drawing pre-writing lines. When OTs are in the classroom we provide a motor activity and consult with classroom staff so that they can implement motor goals throughout the school week.
