![]() ![]() There are many kinds of possible therapy tool kits that can be created for pediatric and school-based OT. ![]() ![]() Types of Occupational Therapy Activity Kits The kits contain specific tools or materials that are needed mostly for specific intervention programming. Other tools of the trade kits may contain therapy tools or materials that develop a targeted skill area such as fine motor, gross motor, strengthening, sensory processing, self-regulation, etc. These grab and go kits always contain a variety of tools, graded in nature, standard or adaptive, which are utilized by a wide range of kiddos with various levels of skill. The OT Toolkit clearly illustrates transfer technique (in/out of bed, on/off toilet, etc.), which is helpful for both patient and caregiver when the patient goes home.The kits have specific tools that are essential for intervention, assessment, progress review, or trial. The chapters include sections on Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs), Interventions (on various topics such as home modification, balance, and apraxia), and Conditions & Diseases (like Alzheimer’s Disease & its various stages, epicondylitis, depression, rotator cuff repair, stroke, and more). There are also instructions on lower body dressing while sitting on a couch, in a chair, and supine in bed, again, something I haven’t seen elsewhere. most resources will show one but not the other. Other resources out there show how to put on clothing with the hemiplegia (one-handed) technique or adaptive device, but not how to take clothes off–which is quite important! And, unlike other resources out there, this book has ADL instructions for left AND right hemiplegia, transfers to the left as well as the right, etc. ![]() The book has treatment guides, patient education handouts, patient exercise handouts, and much more! One of the many things I like about this book it that it shows with clear illustrations and text the donning AND doffing of clothes with adaptive equipment and compensatory techniques. IF YOU’RE LOOKING TO BUY A GIFT for an OT friend or family member, this is the first resource I would recommend. The author also sells a digital edition on her website with ADDED Spanish materials–it’s worth the extra $20 to get it. This is the practical text that the OT needs for working in the field.
