Teaching children to use scissors

Presented by Chenoa Off, Occupational Therapist, this video was made from a recording of a training session she did to teach team members how to teach scissor skills to students. In the presentation, she reviews milestones, techniques, and strategies that will be helpful to teachers and parents alike. Her powerpoint can be viewed along with watching the video to clarify some of the slides, by going to our website and looking under the OT Department. There is a bit of background noise, for which we apologize. Background noise was minimized electronically, however, the presentation was done in our school setting, so you can hear kids in the background, and therapists and teachers discussing strategies during the presentation. No worries, however – you can still hear Chenoa and what she’s getting at. Our videos are all safe for children to view, even though we create them for the adults that care for them. Thanks for watching!

Celebrating Kicking Triumphs in PT! 2.16.24

We’re so happy to share the remarkable progress of a young dynamo in our Physical Therapy program. This spirited little boy has been diligently honing his kicking skills, and the strides he’s made are nothing short of incredible! His commitment and enthusiasm, paired with the unwavering dedication of Denise, our exceptional Physical Therapist, have transformed each session into a dynamic journey of growth and achievement. With each kick he propels himself toward newfound strength and coordination. Together, they’re kicking down barriers and paving the way for a future filled with endless possibilities. Cheers to this young kicker and our amazing PT for turning every session into a testament to determination and progress!
