Welcome to "Not So" Distant Learning!
As local schools transition to distant learning, we want to help kids succeed in their first steps with writing, drawing, and cutting.
Our program is designed to help kids from Preschool through First Grade grow writing, drawing, and other fine motor skills so they don't fall behind.
"Not So" Distant Learning
We focus on the gross and fine motor activities to help ensure your child is prepared for their education through shelter in place and beyond!
Our therapists will work with your child to help them focus on age appropriate fine motor skills in a bright friendly environment. Sessions are offered weekly and last 30 minutes. The cost is only $40. We will work with your child on:
Pre-Writing and Writing Skills
Focus on holding crayon/pencil correctly, drawing pre-writing shapes (such as lines, circles, and squares) and then learning how to form letters correctly
Cutting
How to use scissors correctly to be able to do arts and crafts confidently
Small Item Manipulation
Increasing finger dexterity to better complete fine motor tasks
Classes are One on One with a licensed Occupational Therapist.
All COVID shelter in place guidelines will be followed including Mask for Therapist, in between session cleaning, separate entrance, common area cleaning and sterilization. We are also offering an alternative TeleHealth Option as well if you prefer.
For each session, we will reserve 5 minutes at the end of the session for parent review and any carryover skills for at home practice.
We look forward to helping you grow and achieve all your academic goals!
Thanks!
