Epic Arts Staff Training

Over the last 5 months at Epic Arts, I have had the opportunity to train the wonderful special education staff in a variety of topics related to special education using occupational therapy principles. 

Teachers writing sensory activities under headings of the 7 senses

Working out the task analysis sequence for washing clothes

I divided the staff into groups and gave them sensory motor activity cards to try out. There was lots of rolling around on the floor, athletic attempts and so much laughing!

Claire and Chheun try out ball pushes

Kagna doing ball leg ups

Sarom in a cushion "hot dog"

Claire gets the whole hotdog treatment, salad, cheese and sauce!

Roeun gives Channy some ball squashes...sruel na! (very relaxed)

Kagna is really skilled at wheelbarrow walks, while Sok laughs at his teachers in the background!

Chheun and Sarom rock and roll

Kagna and Phea commando crawl it up

Chheun tries out the ball leg lifts. Pretty skilled with only one real leg! What a hero! Best photo ever x

Phea climbs through a cushion tunnel

I have loved working with these people. They are so warm hearted, generous and grateful. I know I have introduced many crazy concepts that they have taken in their stride and are willing to try out. I have been humbled by their enthusiasm, love and care for their students and their passion for life. I will really miss them.
