📄 Tearing paper 📄
When a child tears a piece of paper, they improve hand strength and endurance in the small muscles in the hand. These intrinsic muscles are important in so many fine motor skills, including those important to handwriting and coloring, managing buttons and zippers, manipulating pegs, and more.

Attention and focus in the classroom...there's a lot going on! Here's a resource: https://www.theottoolbox.com/how-to-help-kids-pay-attention-sensory-movement/

Attention and focus are strongly influenced by sensory regulation, especially proprioceptive input.

Heavy work activities provide deep pressure through muscles and joints, helping organize the nervous system so students can attend, follow directions, and persist with tasks.

Try Wall Push Ups as a quick brain break:
1. Place hands on the wall
2. Step feet back
3 Bend elbows and push the wall away
4. Complete 10 slow repetitions

This activity supports:
✅Sustained attention
✅Impulse control
✅Body awareness
✅Task readiness

Clinical takeaway:
When attention is low, adding movement can be more effective than repeating verbal cues.

This strategy is appropriate for:
✅ Classrooms
✅Therapy sessions
✅Homework routines
✅Transitions between tasks

🧠💪 Stability ball interventions are a game-changer in occupational therapy! These versatile tools target key areas like visual motor integration, balance, coordination, and provide powerful proprioceptive and vestibular input. Whether it's improving postural control, boosting motor planning, or enhancing sensory processing, stability ball activities offer endless possibilities for growth and development.

🌟 OTs can use stability balls to build foundational skills in a creative, engaging way, with fun games, motor planning challenges, and wall activities.
