What is Occupational Therapy? How We Look At Children's Behavior.
Here is another OT lesson with Sunny Blossom Therapy. The child just finished watching a video on “Pout Pout Fish,” a fish with many emotions, including sadness and fear. He then transitioned to spinning a wheel, peeling off the images where the wheel landed, and recalling the sequence of events of those images, whether they occurred in the beginning or ending of the story. The child then made a craft of the main character and completed a worksheet relating to a time and place where he felt feelings similar to the fish, all to help solidify the story and its message. Notice we use kinesthetic learning in our lessons, where active learning takes place through movement, changing positions frequently, and interacting with the environment. The session then changed course to whole body listening skills, by incorporating a prize punch box in the lesson, making it much more motivating and effective way to learn. What fun activities have you incorporated with your children recently to make learning lessons fun and engaging?
