Schoodles is a qualitative assessment of skills that contribute to fine motor work. Skills are assessed according to age levels of attainment and quality of performance, and it can be individualized for each students identified challenges. Schoodles can be used as a stand-alone tool to determine the need for intervention or as a companion to standardized testing for students ages 3 and older. Components of the assessment are chosen based on the student need identified by the student's teachers.

Skills are broken down into classroom Skills and supporting Skills, those skills needed to support fine motor outcomes.

Classroom skills included are design copy, handwriting, coloring, cutting, and puzzle construction. Supporting skills included are manual muscle testing, proprioception, gross motor coordination, eye-hand coordination, finger coordination, crossing midline, motor planning, bilateral coordination, trunk strength, and vision skills.

Observations made during these tasks are analyzed to determine if there are need areas that can be addressed by an occupational therapist.

Goals can be easily written from the information gained from the assessment using the goal writing guide. It takes about 30-45 minutes to move through the assessment.

The Schoodles Keyboarding Assessment breaks down the functional skill of keyboarding into component areas. These include access, fine motor skill development, gross motor skill development, and skill with the keyboard. Through the assessment, the efficiency and speed of written outcomes using keyboarding and handwriting can be compared.

Areas needing intervention requiring the unique skills of an occupational therapist can be identified.

The assessment includes a Background Information Form, a Teacher Question Form, a Student Question Form, and a detailed Record Sheet. Typing samples to copy, links to timed tests, and links to keyboarding programs for intervention are also included.

We use the same cost-effective reproducible format we use in the original Schoodles assessment.

The keyboarding membership offers fillable forms and individual workbook pages to customize your assessment to the student. One-time purchase, lifetime access includes any updates or changes we make to the tool.
Assessment Memberships include everything in the hard copy and more. We add and change content as we get new research, new ideas, and feedback from therapists. Included are 'Where do I start' instructions and quick start guide to get you going fast for remote or in-person assessments.

A criterion-referenced chart with over 20 fine motor skills organized in a developmental progression is included along with training videos for therapists, task videos for students, and fill-able forms to use on a tablet or computer.

We recently added a new report writing template with drop downs, narrative prompts and templates for other frequently used tests to make report writing fast and easy. Reports can be written in under an hour and are very parent friendly to read.

Digital memberships are a purchase once option. NO Yearly Membership Fees.

The Schoodles Legibility Program uses a top-down cognitive approach and focuses on key components to legibility presented through the hero's journey of Captain Penguino. Each components is presented in a new chapter of the story and activities are included to lead the student and helper through the process. Students learn to identify specific changes they can make to increase consistency and readability of their work. Use of practice, increasing memory skills, incorporating activities to increase carry over into the classroom and developing skills that can be used more broadly are all embedded into this program.

While the basic program is easily used on it's own, we have included an accompanying guide filled with evidence based strategies to address a variety of needs for students with ASD, ADHD, DCD, FAS and LD. Hundreds of students have successfully and quickly increased the legibility of their handwriting through an earlier version of this program. We updated it to include the Schoodles characters and add even more evidence.

Anyone interested in helping students increase legibility can use this program, including home school parents, teachers, and occupational therapists.

Memberships are offered as an annual membership, or a lifetime membership and are one per therapist/user and include anything new we add. Group pricing is available .
