Setting: at home in room
Materials:
paperclip
bracelet
Instructions:
1. Unwind the paperclip until it looks like an "S" shape. Attach the paperclip to the unclasped end of the bracelet.
2. Then pinch the clasp and hold the other end with the paperclip for stability while attempting to hook together the bracelet!
Purpose: The purpose of this activity is to improve an individuals performance in ADL's and IADL's so that they can independently do fine motor activities. To most appearance increases self esteem and personal identity. So for some that struggle with putting on and taking off jewelry this is essential. It also would be important for the individual to have strong pincer grasp and fine motor control of the dominant hand in order to work the clasp on the piece of jewelry.
