The amazing website – OT Mom Learning Activities is the brain child of Tracey Le roux, a pediatric occupational therapist from South Africa. I was really happy to come across this website which has a wealth of information for hands on parents who want to be very much a part of their child’s occupational therapy and also for teachers.
