Sorting Activities
There are so many items that can be used for sorting. The trick is to keep items clean (of non-essential components that might be confusing) and simple. Providing items that are bright colors and/or that are easy to handle enhances the resident’s ability to perform. Place two containers in front of the person sorting and put one representative item in each container.
