Hi! I am a pediatric occupational therapist and iDevices are one of the best tools to come along in a long while. I apologize for this tree being a bit out of control....I'll try to organize a bit if I ever get a moment. I'm interested in all things special ed, pediatric rehab, or creative! Thanks for joining me. annot Feb 7

What is Guided Math? - Guided Math

Guided Math is similar to Guided Reading in that the teacher puts the students into small groups and the students work on specific standards being taught in centers around the room. You should try your hardest to have all the centers hitting the same topic.

Kathy Casey's iPad Resources Collection on Pearltrees

I have posted about Pearltrees before, it is an app that allow you to collect, curate, make connections and then share sites, blogs, articles or websites around similar ideas or concepts. I said at the time that I liked this concept because it was such a visual interface and that it allowed the viewer to see the physical links between ideas. I found this one the other day and was impressed with the quality of the links.

Speech-Language Pathology Sharing

When I graduated from OT school this past May, my Dad offered to buy me an iPad2 as a graduation gift. He thought that maybe I would be able to use it in my work with kids with special needs as I drove to and from clients' homes and saw them in the clinic. I decided it would be a good investment, so a few hours after I received my Master's degree in Occupational Therapy, we headed over to the Apple store and picked out my shiny new toy. In the months since that purchase, I've thought to myself that one of the many things I could do with the iPad is use it in therapy. Since we Pediatric Occupational Therapists often work with children with limitations in the areas of fine motor skills, problem solving, cognition, motor planning, handwriting, body awareness, self-care, feeding, sensory processing, and more; all of these areas can be addressed in part or whole through the use of the iPad.
