Organizational strategies make life easier for everyone, but can also make a big difference with academic skills. Incomplete work or misplaced assignments can contribute to poor grades, frustration and lack of self-esteem. The Tornado Tamers group gives a fun environment to learn and practice organizational strategies that look at:

1. Learning style and sensory preference
2. The child’s current mode of organization with activities similar to targeted areas
3. The child’s use of self-evaluation strategies
4. The child’s spatial use of his/her workspace
5. Social decision making-learning to pick up and read non-verbal cues, increasing repertoire of strategies for conflict resolution

During the workshops, OT’s will:

1. Provide strategies to help the child improve his/her organization with projects requiring multi-step directions
2. Suggest home activities that promote the development of needed skills
3. Make it fun and easy to learn!
