Did we miss your favorite?

If your clinic doesn’t subscribe to Ensora Rehab Therapy Suite’s Home Education Platform add-on, you may find yourself struggling to put together the activities and home program resources your patients need to be successful.

Fortunately, there are a lot of great pediatric resources for OTs (and SLPs too!) out there if you know where to find them. To make it easier, we made a list of the best websites with free resources for pediatric occupational therapists.

These sites offer a range of resources from flashcards to games to coloring sheets and more. Tell us in the comments if you know of any additional sites we should add to the list!

1. Tools to Grow

Tools to Grow has tons of activities for bilateral coordination, handwriting, visual perception, sensory processing, self-care and more.

You’ll have to sign up for a free account to access their free resources. You can click the “Sign Up For Free Access” button beneath any of the activities to get started.

After you sign up it will take you to a form that asks for your credit card info. Don’t worry, you can skip that!

Just go back to the Free Resources page and you’ll see that now all the resources have a “Download PDF” button.

2. Your Therapy Source

Your Therapy Source has hundreds of free activities, handouts and information sheets along with some video activity ideas and two self-calming videos.

If that’s not enough, they offer even more pediatric therapy activities here.

3. Therapy Fun Zone

Therapy Fun Zone has a lot of great games and other activities to help you shake up your therapy sessions. The site is run by Tonya Cooley, an OTR who helps therapists keep their clients engaged during sessions by providing therapy activities that make treatment fun.
