Occupational Therapy Fun for Kids

Here is a link to a cute video that will help you and your child use your computer without straining your muscles and joints. How to use your computer and not get a pain in the neck!

 Putting your child's spelling words into a word search helps them develop visual perceptual skills. Your child is learning to scan and look for details. Your child is developing figure ground skills, the ability to find something in a busy background. This skill will help them to look for details in a story to answer comprehension questions.  You or your child can type the words in using this fun site. You can change the font and the size of the word search. You can pick just having the words go up and down without diagonals. You can add coordinates too and use the coordinates to give your child clues as to where to look for the words. If your child is typing remind them to use two hands on the keyboard and to space with their thumb. Here is the link:  http://www.armoredpenguin.com/wordsearch/
