The Inspirational Person for the month of February is Helen McNeil, COTA in North Mac and Auburn.  Helen is described as being an important part of the occupational therapy team.  She helps students learn fine motor skills in fun and creative ways.  She has a calm presence and patience as she teaches students basic coordination and strengthening skills to write, cut, and manipulate fasteners.  She also explores adapted computer and iPad access, adapted chairs, and sensory activities.  She always goes the extra mile to explore new treatments and innovative adapted equipment for our students. Her experience and expertise benefits all her students. SASED is truly fortunate to have Helen.  Congratulations Helen!!!!
