Happy November! Onward to the Holiday Season!

We have hit the holiday season! We ate our turkey and all the fixings, rooted for the Cowboys to LOSE BADLY even though it did not happen (it's a Thanksgiving tradition for the Vancheri Family), decorated for the holidays (my tree goes up after the last piece of Halloween candy is given out), and have probably worn out our credit cards shopping! The holidays fly by so cherish every moment and be thankful for each day! I remain very thankful for all of you!


Onward!!!

Dr. Nicholas V. Vancheri

Participants engaged in daily living skills lessons focused on meal planning. These activities consisted of making shopping lists and sorting items by aisles, all in preparation for a grocery store visit that followed!

Bracelet Making Before School

In November, students in the before care program at Lenox School in Pompton Lakes made bracelets. I am sure that these wonderful kids have great holiday presents for their families in the works!

OT Skill Building for the Holidays

Ms. Tina-Marie Lebo, one of the NRESC's exceptional occupational therapists, prepared students for the holiday season with this hands-on, table-setting activity. Tina-Marie's usage of black, white, and red contrast was helpful for students with visual impairments.

Happy Thanksgiving! Happy Thanksgiving!

Second Home Thanksgiving Feast!

Second Home's annual Thanksgiving feast was a big hit! Participants, Second Home staff, and central office staff were drawn to the aromas and dishes that day! I have to admit that I was full for the rest of the day after my visit!
