  This article was an interesting read about why crafting can be beneficial for clients. I think that you can address fine motor, sequencing, memory, attention, coordination, and social participation if completed in a group setting. By having someone complete a task that is important to them they will be more driven. As OTs we should take care to identify and prepare projects that are pitched at the just-right level for challenge and time needed and that result in age-appropriate, attractive products. Spend some time looking for ideas and adapting them to fit your clientele. Consider safety and durability issues so the client's product can actually be used
