When I started at Harmon Elementary this semester and walked into my CI's OT room the first day, I was amazed by just how many materials, books, and other treatment tools that she had. My first thought was "I can't imagine how expensive all of this must have been!". Thankfully, I found out that the district has paid for the majority of things that she has, but she has had to pay out of pocket for a good chunk of things as well. The link above describes 6 inexpensive ways to acquire supplies for school-based practice, and I thought some of the ideas that were presented were really great!
