Last week I celebrated the work of Occupational Therapists by highlighting some great OT blogs. Today I'd like to share some OTs that are making a difference through the development of apps. Ready to Print | Ready to Print is a pre-writing app developed by Dianne Reid, OTR/L. I love that this app progresses through pre-writing skills in a specific order so kids can master the skills necessary for writing. Some of the activities included in this app are matching shapes, tracing paths, connecting dots, and pinching. Click here to read my original review of Ready to Print. Shelby's Quest | Shelby's Quest is another pre-writing app that focuses on fine motor and visual perceptual skills. Created by Kami Bible, OTR/L, the activities in this app include following mazes, pinching, and tracing shapes. Click here to read my original review of Shelby's Quest. Wet Dry Try | Okay, I don't know if this app was actually created by an occupational therapist, but since Handwriting Without Tears was created by an OT, I'm going to include this one on the list. This handwriting app follows the same format as the Handwriting Without Tears curriculum, specifically the Wet-Dry-Try approach using slate chalkboards. Dexteria | It is my understanding that the Dexteria apps were created with the help of an occupational therapist (if anyone knows who that OT was, I'd love to give them credit). The original Dexteria app consists of three exercises to promote handwriting readiness: Tap It, Pinch It, Write It. Dexteria Junior is geared for younger kids and consists of three exercises to promote pre-writing skills: Squish the Squash, Trace & Erase, Pinch the Pepper. I personally use Dexteria Junior more than the original Dexteria, but both are great! Read my original review of Dexteria here and my original review of Dexteria Junior here. Dexteria: Dexteria Junior: BrainWorks | This app is a bit different from the others in this list. BrainWorks was developed by Gwen Wild, OTR and is designed to help kids select appropriate activities for their sensory breaks to meet their current sensory needs. This is a really cool app that can help kids become more independent in self-regulation. Read my original review of BrainWorks here. Abilipad | This app was created by Cheryl Bregman, MS, OTR/L to allow children to develop writing skills and communication using text to speech, word prediction, and customizable keyboards. I have not tried this app yet, but it gets glowing reviews, including from Carol over at OTs with Apps, whose opinion I always trust! *iTunes links throughout are affiliate links. Do you use any of these apps? Are there any apps created by OTs that you would add to this list? Please share in the comments below!

Hey Friends! I’m back at it again with the white keyboard! (Dang Daniel reference anyone?) 😉 Tellagami is an app that lets you and students record a quick video with an animated character, or ‘game’. It has a fabulous feature that let’s you customize the gami. Certain features are locked unless you purchase it, but it works just fine using the free version. The app lets you pull pictures from your camera roll, so your kids can make the background pertain to what they are talking about. Tips to use Tellagami in the classroom: Want kids to write what they’ve learned about a topic? Have them share their learning in the form of a Gami. Then they can post it to {Seesaw} for their parents to see! To learn more about Seesaw {CLICK HERE} Place a book in the background and have students give a book review or summary. Students can discuss from a character’s point of view. Extend the story past the text, talk about character changes, the possibilities are endless!
