Piper Fine-Motor Activity Challenges
(2016) Piper, Jordan
The PF-MAC is a module that allows the client to focus on fine motor coordination and dexterity. The PF-MAC has several different activities that the therapist has the option to set up or allow the client to choose from. This module is designed to allow the therapist to work with their client to address performance components in a fun and meaningful way. Some of these activities include nuts, bolts, and washers, marbles, checkers, chess, tic-tac-toe, lacing, rubberband stretch, peg cognition test, mirror therapy and tool use activities. These activities may be adapted to provide the client with a “Just right challenge” by using the PF-MAC in a horizontal, vertical, or angled position. The therapist and the client may (and are strongly recommended to) create additional games and find additional uses besides the brief set of activities listed in this booklet.
I Feel Better When I'm Dancing
(2016) Fleming, Katelyn

Open Up! The Occupational Therapy Play and Storage Bench
(2016-04) Wills, Kelli
This is no ordinary bench. With this simple design, one can evaluate and perform an endless variety of interventions without ever having to relocate. What makes this possible is the amazing ability of this bench to transform into a table. The inside allows for a great deal of storage and endless possibilities. When not being utilized as an intervention tool, this feature can still be used as seating, thus not wasting any space. OT clinics can easily become cramped and crowded when there is limited space and this bench solves many of those problems. Occupational therapists have flexibility, creativity, a surplus of ideas and can really be considered the multi-tool of the healthcare industry. Therefore, this workstation was designed to reflect the same versatile characteristics. The only limits as to what can be done with this bench is your own imagination. I have included some ideas of items that could be stored within this bench and grouped them into stations. I hope you enjoy creating this item and coming up with even more creative ways to use it!

Occupational Therapy at the Library
(2016-04-20) Broadhead, Brad
As a child, when I looked at a tree, I saw much more than a tree. I saw a playground, a fort, a mountain to climb, monkey bars, a great hide-and-seek spot, and a place to relax. Similarly, I now view the library through different eyes. It holds limitless potential if only we branch out and exercise a healthy blend of childlike vision and clinical reasoning. This book was designed to tap into a resource communities already possess – the library – for a therapeutic purpose. Each library resource or activity can address a variety of performance components. It is all about viewing them through different eyes and tailoring it to your clients’ needs.

The Zen Table
(2017-04) Miller, Taylor
This project is associated with the Milligan College Occupational Therapy Masters program. Every year, the program holds a student-lead Expo where each individual student creates a fun and unique project that reflects themselves as a student and as a future occupational therapist. These projects incorporate several different aspects of occupational therapy, and after they are created and presented, the projects are then donated to specific locations where they will be used. My project is a relaxation/meditation table that was hand built and incorporates several different aspects of meditation and relaxing activities. This table is very unique in its design and will be donated to the Milligan College library for student use.

The ConTENT Zone: Bringing the OuTdoors In
(2017-04-08) Trantham, Kala
The ConTENT Zone is designed to help children be able to self-regulate when they are having issues with Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD), which is important so that children can perform everyday life tasks at home, at school, and in the community, which will help the child to live a more meaningful life. This area is a place that a child can go when they are feeling stressed out or over stimulated. The project includes a child's tent, a weighted sleeping bag for proprioceptive input, tactile s'more pillows, a bolster log for vestibular input, and videos that provide soothing auditory and visual input. Incorporating the outdoors into therapy is important because of the many sensory benefits that the outdoors provides. In most therapy settings however, it is most practical to incorporate nature indoors. This is what the indoor ConTENT Zone seeks to do.

The Living Puzzles
(2017-04-12) Hay, Brandi
The living puzzles are three puzzles that were manufactured out of pictures that I personally have taken. I had my pictures manufactured into three different size puzzles with varying piece counts: one is 8 inches by 10 inches with six pieces, one is ten inches by twelve inches with twelve pieces, and one is eight and a quarter inches by eleven and three quarter inches with thirty pieces. Each puzzle has also been designed to incorporate various textures, depending upon the image that is presented. These Living Puzzles can be used to address many physical, cognitive, and psychosocial components through a variety of activities. They can be used in group settings, one on one, or individually to work on problem solving and tactile exposure and adaptation. The Living Puzzles can be used by anyone who is looking for tactile or cognitive exposure, but is designed with the pediatric area of practice in mind. It is my hope that the images on these puzzles provoke interest and excitement and that they are seen as fun activities that can also be used to address so many components.

Prevention Through Perspectives
(2017-04-12) Blake, Jasmine
Prevention through Perspectives is a nine-week program that includes 15-20 minute weekly classroom activities for each key component of combating bullying. The nine core themes include emotional understanding (perspective taking), compassion, kindness, self-esteem, value, coping skills, self-control, stress/anxiety relief, and socialization. This program may be used with children who have already been observed bullying a child with or without special needs, but it is purposefully structured for use with children who the professional using the program may deem at risk for bullying. This interactive program, designed most specifically for counselors, can most beneficially be used to help teach a bully, in a one-on-one setting, the consequences of their actions by what perspective and feelings the victim may be suffering from as a result of the bullying. Although designed for optimal use in an individualized setting, this may also be used as a classroom activity involving inclusion classrooms and general education classrooms for use of educational purposes in perspective taking on children who may look and act different than the typical population.
