Today in OT
Hello!
I really like your blog :) I just checked out your link on reversals and a couple of things came to mind just in case you haven't heard of them
1) Handwriting without tears - a multi-sensory developmental approach to teaching printing letters and numbers, improving body awareness (and so much more!) that was developed by OTs. You ought to check it out if you haven't! They use a strategy called the Magic C to make a, d, g, q, o (and c) and I've found it really helpful in differentiating between b and d. Another strategy I like for "b" is that if you make an U/C "B" then the l/c "b" will fit into it. When working on reversals I make sure the child has solid R/L top/bottom knowledge because sometimes the language we use to describe how to make a letter can really be the confusing part.
2) have you heard of the CO-OP approach? Cognitive Orientation to Occupational Performance. It is SO good!! It's all about guided discovery and learning how to present challenges and ask questions so a child can figure things out for themselves. It's a lot more meaningful if a child can problem-solve on their own!! Great approach for kids with DCD.
Keep up the blog!!
