Occupational Therapy With Mrs. Oliver
Welcome to another week of distance learning. Hope you all have a great weekend.
This weeks OT treatment plan is as follows:
Treatment Plan wk. :
· · Warm up exercises: Wall Push Ups and Ball Press. You can add these to the previous week’s warmup. I attached a picture copy of these specific exercises. They are always a good prep to sitting and starting seated work (academics and OT both). This week focuses on upper body strength while completing wall pushups. This activity is one we did in school at times as a prep for tabletop tasks. With the ball press, you can use anything around the house with some weight to it.
· Fine Motor/ Hand warm up: From our first week when you went on a scavenger hunt, I would like you to use any type of tweezers/tongs/chop sticks to pick up small items like cotton balls, pom poms, small erasers, hair ties, little Legos, etc. I look forward to seeing what you can find.
· Mother’s Day craft: This week’s project is a typing assignment for Mothers Day. Your child can type write into the google picture.
Have a great week!
Mrs. Oliver OT
Bienvenidos a otra semana de aprendizaje a distancia. Espero que tengan un gran fin de semana.
Esta semana el plan de tratamiento de OT es el siguiente:
Plan de Tratamiento wk. :
· · Ejercicios de calentamiento: Flexiones de pared y prensa de bolas. Puede agregarlos al calentamiento de la semana anterior. Adjunté una copia de estos ejercicios específicos. Siempre son una buena preparación para sentarse y comenzar el trabajo sentado (académicos y OT ambos). Esta semana se centra en la fuerza de la parte superior del cuerpo mientras se completan flexiones de pared. Esta actividad es una que hicimos en la escuela a veces como una preparación para las tareas de mesa. Con la prensa de bolas, se puede utilizar cualquier cosa alrededor de la casa con un poco de peso a ella.
· Motor fino / Calentamiento de la mano: Desde nuestra primera semana cuando usted fue en una búsqueda de carroñeros, me gustaría que utilizar cualquier tipo de pinzas / pinzas / palillos de corte para recoger pequeños artículos como bolas de algodón, pompones, borradores pequeños, corbatas para el cabello, pequeños Legos, etc. Espero ver lo que puedes encontrar.
· Nave del Día de la Madre: El proyecto de esta semana es una tarea de mecanografía para el Día de las Madres. Su hijo puede escribir en la imagen de Google.
¡tener una buena semana!
