    About this ebook

    Sensory rich play is the foundation for skill development and academic function.  A functional, regulated sensory system creates a strong base for academic performance and function.  These activities provide a variety of opportunities for your students to enjoy sensory play in your classroom.

    The books in this collection are designed to meet the needs of educators of both regular education or special education students.  Although many of the activities are developed around early childhood and elementary years, nearly all tasks can be adapted to meet the needs of older students.  Dr. Kelley’s professional history began as a teacher and she has always prided herself in trying to create materials for teachers that are easy-to-use and implement.  The Teacher Resource Series is created for the teacher that may need additional support when an OT is not available.  However, teachers can use the activities feeling empowered that they are meeting the individual needs for their students’ motor, language and sensory development.

      Dedication

      This book is gratefully and gracefully dedicated to all the families and team members that I have shared in my journey.

      This is for you.

      Acknowledgements

      This book and my work as an occupational therapist are made possible by the support and love of many wonderful people.  I would like to thank my mentors, colleagues, and team members over the years, over the miles.  Each experience has been unique and rewarding and I am thankful to have shared them with you.

      I would like to acknowledge my husband for his unwavering support and love.  To my parents and grandparents, you have provided me with the foundation for which I have remained grounded. 

      ––––––––

      Special Thanks

      To my son.  Without your life, love and perseverance I would never know my own strength. 

      Let Go. Let God.

      About the Author

      Dr. S. Kelley, OTD, OTR/L currently practices as a pediatric occupational therapist in the school setting.  She has facilitated the participation and skill growth for students in both regular education and special education programs.  With a background as both an early childhood teacher and occupational therapist, Dr. Kelley has a unique and specialized perspective of education for students. Dr. Kelley specializes in the treatment of students in the early childhood self contained special education classes.  After nearly 15 years of practice, Dr. Kelley decided to create resources for the school based and pediatric therapist to help facilitate effective and efficient practice.  These resources reflect both the OT Practice Framework (AOTA, 2008) and the Common Core Curriculum (Common Core Standards Initiative, 2012).  These resources were then made available in alternative formats for families and parents as a response from families and co-workers.
