Hi Reader, In case you are not out Black Friday shopping and are looking for deals at home...I just added a brand-new resource to help your students master their ABCs—No-Prep ABC Worksheets: Letter Formation, Identification & Phonics—and it’s 50% off for the next few days! This one was made for one of our very smart autistic students just starting to write. The workbook her classmates were using was way too cluttered for her. She knew the content but could not access it. So here is the re-design! Designed to align with the Wilson Fundations program, this resource is perfect for kindergarten and first-grade learners. Whether you're reinforcing phonics skills in the classroom or building motor memory in therapy sessions, these worksheets make it easy and engaging to teach: ✅ Letter Formation: Trace, write, and practice each letter with multisensory activities. With structured, no-prep activities, you can easily integrate this resource into daily phonics practice, morning work, or therapy sessions. 📥 Download it now while it’s 50% and give your students the tools they need to succeed! Warmly, I appreciate your interest in my resources and ideas. Email me at Cindy@CreativeCOTA.com if you have questions or ideas for future content. Cindy@CreativeCOTA LLC |

I showed him that a u could look like an n, and he finished this sentence. Only one word out of order....
Hi Reader, Today, my therapy bag includes: ✔ Magnet letters ✔ Dot stickers ✔ Plastic animals ✔ Address labels ✔ Dry-erase markers and locker magnets ✔ iPad ✔ Label maker Basically...all my favorite alternative pencils in one place. Of course, I still have the usual tools of our trade as well. I have pencils, fine-motor and visual-perceptual games, and printables as well. I've been taking pictures for the course and realizing how many tools I've collected over the years. None of them are...
Hi Reader, If you've followed me for a while, you know I'm always looking for ways to make my therapy budget go further. After 28 years as a school-based OT, I've learned that not everything has to come from an educational catalog. Some of my favorite therapy supplies cost just a few dollars! Here's what I always grab at Dollar Tree when I find it: ⭐ Blank yard sale stickers (one of my favorite alternative pencils) ⭐ Muffin tins for sorting, matching, counting, and fine motor activities ⭐...
