Marrene

Marrene- Marrene is a Pediatric Occupational Therapist and has been for that last 6 years. In that time she has worked with a variety of children with different disabilities and challenges.

These felt story boards can be a great resource for both parents of special needs and other therapist. The felt board stories help reinforce language skills as well as learning through a variety of sensory input listen to a story while using the tactile and motor input to act them out. I especially like the felt stories that follow a song like The Wheels on the Bus, or Brown Bear, Brown Bear What Do You See. Music is a great way to teach a child a concept, without them even knowing they are learning. The Activity books are great for allowing children to work on other fine motor skills like tying shoe or buttoning a buttons. But my favorite feature of the felt boards is using them to teach children especially Autistic children social skills, it fun to have the child pick a character and have them act out social situation they might come in contact with that they don't know how to handle, it's a great none threatening way for them to express themselves.
