On this episode of the STEAMY Summer podcast series, we hear from Nisha Sanghvi, a Pediatric Occupational Therapist. At her practice, Integrated Pediatrics in Aurora, Illinois, Nisha provides therapy services in home settings and the community to address goals determined by the child’s needs.
Nisha discusses why she believes a child’s job is to play; explains how she uses Osmo tools to help children develop fine motor skills, visual-perceptual motor skills, comprehension and expression of language, and executive functioning; why these skills are all relevant to students’ STEAM learning; and more.
Hot Tip: To close out the episode, Nisha shares her number one “Hot Tip” for educators using Osmo learning tools to begin the next school year: find what your students like, meet them where they are, and get them truly engaged so they’ll excel in their skill development.
