From Brainstorm to Real Life: Using ChatGPT in Activity Programming

A practical, real-world look at using ChatGPT as a brainstorming and planning tool for activity programming. This resource follows the creation of a Hands-On Sensory Lab from beginning to end—from brainstorming with materials already on hand, to developing the activity and printables, to actually running the program.

Includes the complete sensory activity plus an honest follow-up reflection on what worked, what didn’t, what was changed, and what I would do differently next time.

Designed for activity professionals who are curious about using ChatGPT while keeping professional judgment, resident needs, and real-world experience at the center of the process.
