What is OTPlan (Occupational Therapy Plan)?

The concept is pretty simple: OTPlan is an activity idea and treatment plan search engine. The site matches the skills you want to work on, with the materials you have, to a detailed treatment activity that will help you strengthen certain skills. Each activity details the purpose, materials needed, process, rating for the activity, and comments.

Latest Occupational Therapy Activity Ideas

Rainbow Fish - The activity promotes visual motor skills and fine motor skills as the child uses scissors and a paint brush (or any other coloring utensils).

Melting Rainbow - This activity promotes fine motor control and strengthens the small muscles of the child's hand.

Hearts and Oval Butterfly - This is a fun activity for the spring, or any time of the year. The child is working on strengthening his fine motor integration skills by drawing shapes and on his cutting skills. Coloring the butterfly, decorating it, and twisting the pipe cleaners, is good for working on fine motor control and manual dexterity skills.

Push Ins - This activity is good for hand strengthening as the child separates the clothespins from the cardboard discs and pushes the items through a narrow slit. In addition, the child also works on his pincer grasp and pre-cutting skills.

I think I came across this one in a Gymboree book. Great grading opportunities for various ages! Complicate it or time it...

great idea! if these joints are small enough to be bought by the bag -- do you happen to know what gauge to look for, since the smaller sized things are so similar?-- thank you for the advice!

This could easily be graded for a simple cognitive ax for TBI or dementia pt's, while working on UE strength or standing balance.
