WOW – it has been officially 1 whole year of me creating free OT wallpapers. When I first started creating these, one it was because I just love creating. Two, it has become a larger passion project of mine because it is one free, simple way for me to share and advocate for OT in a very fun, light hearted way. My goal is for people to find the little things joyful within there day, like a wallpaper. In that process, my goal is for the message of OT to spread far and wide and for more people to know what it is. If you are in a coffee shop randomly working… someone just might peep over and see your laptop background and wonder what OT is. That is enough to make me smile and keep doing this.
Enough sappy stuff. Here are the August background!

Product of the month/Activity Idea:
These sensory noodles are fun with various textures. They can be great silent, sensory tools for students that seek tactile input and even for anxiety. Another fun thing I do with these is actually use them as a warmup to work upper extremities. When I see a student is in the “yellow” zone (excited, anxious, needing increased input), I will often model holding the noodle with both hands on each end then slowly stretching it out while taking deep breaths, counting to 5 or 10 each time. These can be great regulation tools! Find them here.
