O&M Forms & Handouts that Make YOUR Job Easier!
Love your job but hate the paperwork? Here are handouts and forms just for you!
Organized paperwork is a MUST for back-to-school O&Ms! There is a seemingly endless list of things to keep track of and to organize at the beginning of each school year. While I love working with students, I can honestly say that I dread the paperwork. I bet you can relate! Streamline your paperwork equivalates to more time with your students. Amy Bova has tried and true O&M-related forms that keep her organized throughout the year and O&M-related handouts that she shares with staff. Amy has graciously sharing these forms with us!

Do you have suggestions of things to be added to these existing resources? Do you have additional resources/handouts that you use? Ideas might include handouts with information about specific cane skills, independence or other O&M skill that your student is learning and needs reinforcement with, handout about on how to walk in line (for a kindergarten student), expectations on how to navigate the cafeteria, safety/expectations on the playground, etc. If you have handouts or forms that work well, please share them! Together we can work smarter not harder!
