Welcome to SkillSprouts OT! I'm Samantha Russell, a licensed, school-based Occupational Therapist with over 14 years of experience helping children develop fine motor skills, sensory skills, and other essential developmental abilities. Whether through teletherapy or in-person collaboration with school districts, I've supported families across the country to nurture their child's growth.
Many parents and caregivers reach out asking for additional resources to supplement therapy at home. That's why I created SkillSprouts OT Activity Box, a monthly, theme-based program focused on enhancing your child's fine motor, sensory, and cognitive skills. Our Activity Box offers step-by-step instructions for engaging activities, valuable OT resources, and expert support via text, email, or chat. You'll also receive consistent educational content tailored to the needs of your child's development.
As a mother of three, I know firsthand the importance of fostering education outside the classroom, which is why I'm excited to launch this program. Every month, your child will explore a new surprise sprout inside their Activity Box, adding an element of fun and excitement to their learning experience!
Thank you for joining us in this wonderful journey of skill-building. Together, we'll empower children to grow, learn, and thrive—one skill at a time. Be sure to check out our website and social media pages for more information!
Warmly,
