If the PT says to walk a child up and down the stairs then I make room for that in my schedule so that the instructional assistant in my class does that every day. If the OT tells me that my student needs help with buttons or shirts zippers etc then we work with that when we do fine motor. I set up my classroom stations so that we can incorporate all the goals and objectives that I, as well as my related services providers, have set up in the IEP. Most of the time we have the same goals just said differently. For example if the OT says a student needs work on zippers and buttons those are fine motor skills. My fine motor skills might include learning to write their name holding a pencil correctly. So I've set up a fine motor station where we can deal with anything that the OT tells us to do as well as what I need for them to do. I have set up a Communications station for this exact same reason . We tend to do PT services in our PE class. When we all work together is when the student makes the most progress.Ekinnaj Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11147698947032156032noreply@blogger.com
