Name of podcast: The Colorful Podcast Spot

Episode title and number: Episode 7: Occupational Therapy in the Schools Recap and Resources

Brief summary of episode: Join us as we recap our conversation

with Melinda Brenneise and share some of our favorite resources

relating to occupational therapy and the senses. We discuss some of the similarities and differences between OT and Speech, Melinda’s preschool program and handwriting club, how to incorporate all senses into activities to increase engagement and retention of learned concepts, and provide a brief overview of interoception, proprioception, and vestibular senses. 

Listen as we talk about ways to support sensory seekers even with limited space and resources, ways we’ve done this in our own clinical practice, and join us in brainstorming other clubs that could be formed similar to Melinda’s handwriting club.
