OT Mom Learning Activities (www.ot-mom-learning-activities.com) provides this website as a service. The author and publisher of this website and the accompanying resources have prepared this website and the accompanying resources to the best of their abilities and with their best intentions.
The intent of this website is to promote the child's normal development through the use of accessible resources. This website is written for parents and teachers, and is not meant to take the place of an occupational therapy evaluation or treatment.
Childhood disorders, learning disorders and developmental delays cannot be diagnosed or treated through this website!
Please contact your local Occupational Therapist if there are significant gaps in your child’s progress. If your child is currently attending Occupational Therapy, these activities can be used to supplement what he is doing there, but always check with your child’s Occupational Therapist first!
The activities suggested on this website are NOT a substitute for occupational therapy intervention!
I am a very normal occupational therapist, who graduated the four year Occupational Therapy degree program BSc(OT) at the University of Cape Town in 1997. I have a post grad diploma in Sensory Integration.
I started my website purely to help parents and teachers to better understand the issues that kids may struggle with when they start school, and to equip those parents and teachers with activities to promote normal development in order to give kids the best possible start in formal schooling.
The information I have put on my website is there to inform
and inspire based on my own experience and observations and discussions with
fellow therapists over the years, as well as the years of homeschooling my own three children.
I attempt to keep up with current research and publications, and I try and include relevant references where possible.
When working as an occupational therapist, every therapy session was planned with the needs of that particular child in mind. There was no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. Over the years, some activities became my go-to favorites to help address particular issues, and it is these kinds of activities that I attempt to share with parents and teachers on my website and in my e-books.
While I am encouraged by students and therapists who contact me to let me know that my information is helpful in their OT training, my primary purpose in writing is for parents and teachers. I am always honored and delighted when someone links to my website or references it in some way!
Having said all that, I am delighted that you are here, and I trust that my activities and information will be useful to help a child that you are involved with.
While I am an occupational therapist, I am not YOUR CHILD'S occupational therapist!
As with all activities involving children, please take great care to ensure all sharp objects are moved out of reach, and that parental supervision is available at all times. Some activities suggested on this website make use of small objects that may cause a choking hazard for young children. Keep small objects out of reach of young children!
Some of the activities require physical activity or exercise. Please only demonstrate these exercises if you are medically fit to do so. Your child should only carry out these activities if he is medically fit to do so. If in doubt, please consult your doctor. And if any activity causes any kind of pain and discomfort to you or your child, stop at once and consult your doctor.
Every effort has been made to give accurate information and suggestions. However, results are entirely dependent on the persons demonstrating and taking part in the activities and games.
The level of success attained depends on the time devoted to taking part in the activities and games, and the resources and skills of the persons taking part. Since these factors vary between individuals, we cannot guarantee success of individuals, nor are we responsible for any actions of any persons.
