For a 6-year-old child with figure ground perception difficulties transitioning out of occupational therapy, what discharge recommendation is best?

Using a different solid-color folder to hold materials for each class subject is an effective recommendation for a child struggling with figure-ground perception difficulties. This approach simplifies the organization of materials, allowing the child to more easily identify and differentiate between items based on color coding. Each subject having its own distinct folder minimizes visual clutter and aids in spatial awareness, making it easier for the child to locate and retrieve materials independently.

Color coding can provide visual cues that enhance recognition and understanding of where to find specific items. This structured approach can foster more effective organizational skills, which is crucial as the child transitions out of occupational therapy and into a school setting.

In contrast, while using a multi-colored binder (as suggested in the first option) could also assist with organization, it may not provide as clear a method of categorization as individual solid-color folders would, especially since it might lead to visual confusion if multiple subjects are housed within one binder. Changing classroom seating arrangements may help with overall engagement and focus, but doesn’t directly address the specific challenges presented by figure-ground perception. Organizing materials in a large box could contribute to disorganization, making it difficult for the child to locate necessary items quickly, which can exacerbate the very difficulties that are being addressed. Thus, the chosen
