This 15-page printable occupational therapy evaluation form was designed by pediatric occupational therapists for busy OTs who evaluate children in the areas of fine motor, gross motor, visual motor, sensory processing, and/or activities of daily living skills.

X15simple and fun hand strengthening exercises for kids to help build the muscle strength and coordination needed to carry out fine motor tasks.

Found a giant pair of red neoprene dice at the dollar store about a billion years ago and couldn't resist. I knew I would use them for something school related one day and that one day finally came. A little white gesso and black paint transformed them into "art dice". I won't lie. I shamelessly (stole) borrowed this idea from Tinkerlab. I like to start the year out with something simple and something "line" related. It was great. Little kids loved rolling the dice to create their designs and we reviewed line quality including direction words: horizontal, vertical, diagonal. We took a short break to review classroom rules and expectations while the paint dried and then I let them color with crayons. Third graders let their designs dry overnight. They will paint them with primary colors during our next class. Here are some shots of kids working and their results in progress. Thank you TinkerLab...fabulous idea! I found this project gave me a great opportunity to check out how kids are holding the crayon and give a little guidance on writing grip vs. drawing grip. Back up a little and straighten out the forefinger a bit. Use the arm to color, not just the fingers.

Fine Motor Skills Webinar The webinar I viewed on apps to support and enhance fine motor skills in students was very useful. I learned that by age 10-11 grip and letter formation are ingrained and very difficult to change, therefore remediation will likely not work. I didn’t know this before. I love it when I learn about things that I can immediately see myself taking back to my school and classroom. Some of the top apps I would like to use include: Remediation (to improve fine motor skills and prepare for writing) Dexteria. $4.99 – writing readiness, develop pre-writing skills – so good for remediation and not for older kids. Isolates finger control. Pinch, tap and write options. Various stylus’, good for different age levels. Bugs and Buttons. $2.99 – Pinch and Grab - develops finger control, pressure, hand-eye, etc. In a game format. Great for younger kids. What if kids have a bug/spider fear?! Roach Racing – Two finger control Juno’s Piano. $0.99. Piano playing app. Finger control and isolation. For kids. Injini. $29.99 or FREE for the lite version. 9 levels to enhance writing skills – also includes following direction/attention and so forth in addition to fine motor. Visually it’s less child-like (more middle elementary less primary). Can use your finger or a stylus to develop both skills. Touch and Write. $2.99 (Free on webinar but that must have changed). Engaging and fun for younger kids. Develops finger skills with tracing. Allows you to use funny materials such as ketchup to write with :) Can use a stylus as well. Can add your own personalized word list. Shape Builder. $0.99. Visual motor, strength, grasp, etc. Complete letter puzzles with various shapes – it then works on sounds of letters as well. Can use finger or stylus for various skill development. Cars2 AppMates. Free. Need to purchase the physical car to use on the game. Supports grasp and pressure development. Definitely a fun game for kids to develop those skills and also following directions skills. Pirate Scribblebeard. $0.99. Very engaging – use for fine motor development (stylus). Animates what you draw! Definitely engaging! Great for upper elementary and even junior high. Support (when remediation is not appropriate – to support writing tasks in a variety of ways) WritePad for iPad. $9.99. Great for older students (junior high). At this age kids feel disengaged and frustrated at writing process. This app will help! Students can use finger or a stylus to write, it then converts immediately to text. Students can then send their work to themselves, parent or teacher. It also has a keyboard option if it’s not recognizing handwriting. Option for word prediction as well which would alleviate frustration for kids. It also supports different languages (great for my school!). Availability – At my school this would probably not be an issue. We have a travelling card of ten iPad’s and the Learning Center also has a couple of iPad’s for kids to use as well. Some of the extra items, like a variety of stylus’ or the Cars app car would add to cost and may be difficult to purchase. Impact on kids – Certainly engaging and motivating for younger kids. At my grade 8 level the only one I could see kids using would be the WritePad or Pirate Scribblebeard. However, those would both improve motivation and perhaps lessen the stigma of needing assistance with writing. Want even more apps to support fine motor skill development?

After countless hours of reviewing research studies and combining my own experience as a child and family therapist, I identified 15 definitive social and emotional skills that are important for children to develop. All 15 skills are tied to children's predictability on experiencing success in academics, social relationships and overall life satisfaction. In addition, most of the skills are related to the trendy concepts of grit, growth mindset and resiliency. But what's most important, is that

We did this fun group drawing project while staying in the hospital. It was simple and great for a group of different ages. First several strong sheets of white paper, one per person, were taped together to form a rectangle. Next each person drew a wavy line from the large black dot in the center to a point near them using a black marker. Then the paper was rotated, and one of the newly created sections was allocated to each person. In that section each person had to draw a mouth. Then the paper was rotated and everyone got a new section. This time each person had to draw an eye. The process was continued. While rotating the paper section by section we drew a mouth, an eye, a snake, a smiley face and a background pattern. After the black background design was completed each person was assigned one piece of paper to color with oil pastels. The finished project was a large brightly colored mural. This was a fun project which could be easily done at a birthday party, baby shower, as a get well gift for a friend or a gift for a special teacher.
