Grading Activities

I need some assistance in grading some activities? Does anyone have any ideas? I can't use positoning or adding/taking away weight.


A way to physically grade down a game of Bingo.

A way to cognitivly grade down a game of Bingo.


This is what I have so far...

Physical Grade up: Create Bingo cards where the numbers are pictures of exercises. All the exercises will be pulled out of a bowl/hat. When the patients have the exercise that was pulled, they must do that exercise. If a patient does not have that exercise, they don't have to do it.   

Physical Grade up: The bingo cage will go around to each patient and they will have to spin the handle and read out the letter and number. Each patient will turn and read out a letter/number 5 times.

Middle/High School Supports

Hi. Looking for supports for students with anxiety and executive functioning disorder in middle + high school:


What are some of the most useful or helpful accommodations or modifications you have suggested or seen provided for middle school and/or high school students?


Any skills or goals you think are beneficial to have mastered or are necessary to work on for this age group in general?


Thanks!

Sensory activities for adults with learning disabilities and autism

Hello! I am an occupational therapist working in a non-OT role with a charity which provides supported living and day opportunities for adults with LD and autism. Our activities are often focused on an end product. For example, our weavery and pottery aim to make products which can either be used by our residents or be displayed or sold in our shop. Whilst I love that aspect of my work and it makes for a meaningful activity for most of our residents, I feel there are some who would benefit from sensory activities, where the focus is more on the actual doing and exploring and less so on a desired end product. I am looking to make a case to my managers for the development of sessions which focus on sensory activities, especially for those residents who can't (any longer) engage in our mainstream day opportunities, either because of their autistic traits…

Group activities

Hello everyone! i am new here:) i am studying occupational therapy and i would like to ask something. do you have any ideas about group activities for adults with IDD? i am thinking of some activities that related to art for example I was thinking of giving them a topic like the seasons(summer, winter etc.)and having them draw something related to it, or painting on canvas. The goals I would like to achieve through this activity are to improve their concentration and their fine motor skills. but the thing is that they draw very often so i would like something more special. I am thinking of something like crafts with clay or lego which they don't do often. Any other ideas?

Hi @Christina123. Thought I'd pass on a few comments, shared by followers of the Hub on LinkedIn:

Dorel B.: "Thank you for reaching out, Christina. As an occupational therapist, you are familiar with the importance of engaging individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD) in group activities that can help improve their concentration and fine motor skills. Crafts with clay or Lego are excellent options that could accomplish those goals.


In addition to those ideas, you may also consider incorporating other activities such as:

  1. Painting or drawing

  2. Cooking or baking classes

  3. Yoga or other forms of exercise

  4. Music therapy sessions

  5. Board games or puzzles


It's important to remember that choosing the right activity will depend on the interests and abilities of the individuals involved. You may want to try out a few different activities to see what works best for the group. Good luck and have fun!"

Azure Jones: "Painting uncooked noodles and stringing them . I’ve used different textured scarves with music for therapeutic movement/ motor planning even if seated in a WC , and for sensory calming input . Making this person centered by knowing their favorite music and singing the words along with them if they’re able too, to incorporate memory. A lot of my past clients enjoyed country music as well as Elvis."

Rahul Malik: "Give them piano to play, for sequencing."


Amadi Promise: "You could do through and catch ball game, with them naming their favourite foods, or names of colours, animals, places, foods etc as they throw to each other....this helps with memory skills, concentration as well as fine motor skills(eyehand coordination, catch and release etc)." Helen Patience: "Stencilling, on paper and then on tote bags. The clay idea sounds good."
