The kids I work with have gone through a lot of back and forth, up and down, and in and out. Kids need structure, support and love. The uncertainty they've faced over the last two years has made it hard and I have seen a higher need to work on handwriting as so much time has been on screens. I've also seen a need for extra sensory input in "Comfort Zones" as kids are having a hard time transitioning back to school full time or while learning at home. We have some supplies and resources for kids here at school but not enough and now we need more help in the home and parents need support and resources that they currently don't have access to.
I've included various sensory activities like the playdough, fidgets and macaroni for tactile exploration. Some of the tools needed to improve their handwriting include the tweezer tong kit and light board by strengthening their hand muscles and visual-spatial awareness that leads to better legibility.
