An obstacle course is a great way to work on balance, bilateral coordination and core strength. Having fun is an added bonus! #d123 ##d123kol

We explored the inside of a pumpkin today! The students said it felt slimy, cold, wet, and gooey. I was proud of all of the kids for participating in this fun Halloween activity. #d123 #d123kol @Mrs_LGallagher @RugeVictoria @KellyMarieOtt

Took our OT session outside today! The students worked on using the appropriate sizing, spacing and line orientation while completing a writing task. #d123kol

[D. Sweis @SLP_Sweis]

Fun fact: movement enhances the development of the neural connections in the 🧠, & enhances a child’s ability to learn. In Speech/Language & Occupational Therapy, the CASE program completed a scavenger hunt & learned about fall vocab! #olhms #slp #ot @MrsFisherOT @MrsMessina_SPED
