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.

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.Item Living Well with Lymphedema(2017-04-21) Moore, LindsayA workbook for individuals who are experiencing psychosocial challenges commonly seen with lymphedema.Item Mrs. Kibelbek's Wiggel Worm Kit(2018-03) Keys, LindseyThis is an idea that I brought over from the graduate project that I did this year called, On The Move for Success. It is all about allowing kids to have movement breaks to increase their attention, focus, and improve behaviors. I just decided I would add more items for this expo project. I know when I am sitting in class it is nice to sit on a yoga ball and have some movement while listening to my professors. So, I thought I would implement different seating options for Mrs. Kibelbek’s class. I decided I would add three different seats and also implement fidgets to allow the students to hold and place in their lap, so they are not up and moving which tends to distract students at this age. This topic is so interesting to me because I love kids and I want to see them succeed, and I have been able to see the improvements that is gives to our kids and that just really sits in my heart.Item Next Chapter(2018-04-18) Greene, EdenThe Next Chapter is an accountability journal for individuals who have recently graduated college.
