treatment of individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders
Physical and occupational therapists Jeannie, Amy, and Kate organized a Winter Olympics event
for Classrooms 2 and 4 last week. Students participated in Dolly Races, Hurdle-and-Toss Relays, arts and crafts, and the ever popular Shaving Cream Skating.
PART I – CLASSROOM 4
Ready….set….
GO!!!
Intense concentration against a backdrop of mayhem…he shoots, he scores!
Teachers model good techniques for the students
Showing good sportsmanship by cheering classmates on
A little quiet time with some more artistic endeavors…and then…
Shaving Cream Skating! Things started out a little cautiously
with small steps and curiosity…and ended up with Big Smiles!
And everyone was a winner.
Stay tuned for Part II – Classroom 2.
It’s a Winter Wonderland out on the playground today and
some of the kids (and teachers!) couldn’t wait to get out there!
QUESTION: What is cuter than a bunch of Martin C Barell students dressed up as their favorite characters??
ANSWER: NOTHING!!!
Our annual Halloween Party was on October 31, and students, clients, and staff showed up dressed as favorite characters, leopards, and hamburgers, oh my! The older students manned activity tables helping the younger kids play matching games, make holiday shakers, and stick their hands into gross stuff participate in the sensory station. Everyone had a good time – who doesn’t love a party?!?
