Reflecting on OT Month

By Danielle Gietz on 5/25/2010 1:27 PM

April was an exhausting month. It was both OT awareness month and Autism awareness month. That's a lot of awareness for 30 days! Oh and don't forget the beginning of the IEP marathon to the end of the year.

This month I decided to utilize my students as advocates for OT and OT month. After a discussion about OT, I went through what each student was working on.

April is OT Month!

By Danielle Gietz on 4/15/2010 8:12 AM

March is over. Which means that school is 3/4th's of the way complete AND that it is now April. April is OT month! I feel like every year I want to do something to help make the teachers and professionals more aware of what OT is and what an OT's in the schools do. I have decided this year to go about it a little differently. I am going to try to create a handout for teachers and professionals with regards to OT and what they encounter everyday-desk height, typing on the computer, healthy habits, and where appropriate include information regarding students and OT.

Look What I Can Do

By Danielle Gietz on 3/9/2010 8:45 AM

I can’t believe February is already over! Right before Winter Break I was so stressed out! So, I had decided in December to try something new with my kids come the first of the year. I made these cool signs. One said “Look what I can do…” and then there are 2 skills on each of the other posters (supine flexion/prone extension; jumping jacks/ski jumps; table/crab; sit ups/push ups; jump rope/juggling).
