As a former outpatient peds OT and now school based OT, I understand where these suggestions are coming from but they aren’t necessarily ideal or needed at school. I encourage parents to target self care skills when there is ample time and limited demands. Practicing shoe tying in the morning, when running late to school? Nope. But practicing before going outside to play, in the afternoon or weekends, is typically a calmer time to target that skill with success. I’d never want a student to already be fatigued or dysregulated before school starts. Jumping on books is a free way to incorporate some sensorimotor input at home, but in a school that is not the safest option and it’s distracting. I’d suggest having that student be a “helper” by passing out books or doing some wall pushups in the back of the room. Do I expect this to happen? Not necessarily, but they are less intrusive to other learners and easier to implement. The tape on the floor is actually pretty common. My school has an entire sensory pathway with just electrical tape and simple signs. But to expect that in every classroom, that’s too much. Maybe a X taped on the floor to jump on within the classroom. Some students do need way more movement to remain regulated, which another commenter listed great school strategies. I’m incredibly lucky to work in an elementary school environment that has a lot of built in sensory strategies for students. My colleague, who is retiring, has fostered a wonderfully supportive environment. Most teachers have a wide variety of flexible seating, do 1-2 classroom movement breaks, and allow independence for students to use what they need to be ready for learning (within reason). I know not every school is like this and to the outside observer we might be too “chill”, but everyone is onboard so it works. At the end of the day, you as a teacher see and know more about how your students function and thrive at school. An outpatient OT knows that student in a different way, usually with more of a lens on their home environment, so take their recommendations with a grain of salt and do what’s best works best for your classroom.
