Friday Features

This week I...
- Began to clean out my desk and now I just have piles of OT books and CDs and toys (like the one above) that I need to do something about. Would anyone be interested in hearing about some of my favorite therapy books in upcoming posts?As you might be able to tell from the photo, I'm a huge fan of the Kumon 'My First' workbooks to work on pre-writing and scissor skills.

Friday Features Links:

- If you haven't already heard, Shasta at Outrageous Fortune, has started a Kickstarter Campaign to publish a baby book that she has written to raise money for her son Malachi's therapy.
