Puzzles work on so many great skills [visual perception, problem solving, etc.]!  Check out these DIY Puzzles!

This is one of my favorite of their blogs!  Ways to work on activities of daily living [ADLs] while targetting a skill so many of our kiddos ar working on: bilateral coordination [using 2 hands together].  See how these household chores/activities can build those skills! 

This is one of my favorite websites with fun exercises to help improve visual processing [things like oculomotor skills (i.e. tracking, scanning, etc.), visual perception (i.e visual discrimination, visual memory, visual closure, etc.), eye teaming and focus as well as visual motor integration] in children!  It provides parents with fun eye exercises to enhance their children’s visual processing skills for better school performance and sustained attention!  There are too many pages & activities to link them all there, so plese use the following skill areas to help point you in the right direction as you navigate the site!  Some activities are completed on the computer while others can be completed with items you can either print and/or find within the home environment!

Tracking  // Visual Perception // Eye Teaming // Focusing // Visual Motor Integration  

Lauren & Claire are pediatric occupational and physical therapists who are passionate about sharing information, tips, and strategies to help readers conquer the common developmental roadblocks that come up for kids.  They believe that the more parents, teachers, and caregivers know about child development and wellness, the better off kids are!

Their website offers a lot of great activity ideas for parents as well as other resources to guide parents in the right direction as far as progressing their children through the appropriate developmental milestones! 

This is not a therapy website, but I think a lot of the things that Alyssa [former Elementary Special Education and Life Skills teacher] posts re super helpful for OT families-- especially if your child is in a special program [i.e. Autistic Support, Life Skills, etc.]. The Simply Special Ed Blog has been updated with a lot of resources/ideas for at home learning during school closures!  Check it out! 

Keeping a schedule [even when you are at home] is SO important for a lot of our kiddos!  Here is a link to a free Home Schedule for School Closures!
