Posts about adapted stringing

The client shown below is stringing donut shapes sliced out of a pool noodle. He is stringing onto a man’s tie.

The following activity is made from cutting plastic to make donut shapes and stringing onto a long strip of fabric

In this video the clients are stringing washers onto the fabric strip…

Pushing the tape or other donut shape over a vibrating object provides proprioceptive sensory stimulation.

This two-year-old does not have the coordination to string beads , yet… but she can string tape or other donut shapes…

The tape rolls may also be used for ring stack activities

These rolls of tape are larger and heavier than my amazon rolls … but you get the idea…

Other Uses for a zillion rolls of tape….

  1. Clients cut off small pieces to fill up a space in a stencil
  2. Clients fit tape onto paper that has rectangular shapes drawn on it.
  3. Cut lots of small pieces of tape. A child attaches them all over a friend’s arms and legs. Then that friend removes them using opposite arms so that they cross midline.

Handling the scam…

  1. I changed my Amazon password
  2. According to AI, if the package has your name and address but you never ordered the item, you may be the target of a brushing scam. Unscrupulous third-party sellers mail cheap items to random addresses so they can post fake 5-star reviews in your name to boost their ratings.
  3. Report the package: File a report using the Amazon Unwanted Package Form or reach out to customer support with the tracking number from the label. You can also report scams to the Federal Trade Commission. I reported to amazon at 888 2804331 but they said to keep it or give it to charity….
  4. Secure your accounts: Change your passwords and turn on multi-factor authentication for your online shopping accounts. [1]
  5. Monitor your finances: Check your bank and credit card statements for any unauthorized charges. Review your credit reports regularly at AnnualCreditReport.com to make sure your identity was not compromised.
