For some students, handwriting may not be their forte despite years of working hard at it. When it gets to the point of deciding how to proceed, the occupational therapist and team may conclude that the student needs to move forward with typing skills as an alternative means of written communication. OTs work with many students in these situations on their pre-vocational skills to become proficient at typing, which they can use in lieu of handwriting as they get older. Using fun typing games on the iPad with a wireless Bluetooth keyboard is an excellent way to buy in. Some students also work on mouse control, which can also be achieved by playing activities on the iPad with a Bluetooth mouse. #CGRESD #ourstory
The Area School MOCI Transition Class, made up of students ages 15-22, has been tracking the weather, sunrise, and sunset times each day. Students record the daily time, along with sunrise and sunset, to observe changes over time. Since December 19, 2024, we've gained just over an hour of daylight in the evenings alone! Through this project, students are learning how to check future weather to help plan ahead and understanding why daylight hours vary between winter and summer. #AreaSchool #MOCI #Transition #OurStory #CGRESD
The Area School MOCI Transition Class comprises 15-22-year-old students who enjoy making knitted hats to donate to the local veterans.
