Using Play therapeutically

Of our plethora of providers, we have several that come to us as a benefit of Dominic being on a medicaid waiver.  We have 2 speech therapists and 1 occupational therapist who together come a total of 4 times a week to our house, sit the floor and work with Dominic.  Frequently they use play to facilitate their specific therapies and I wanted to show you a couple of very recent examples.

The first is an occupational therapy session from last week, 1-2-2020.  This was their last activity and the point is to stack the little cups in the color order that is on the card, fastest, and then ring the bell. Its a processing speed thing, a patterning practice thing, etc. 



Then this week, on Wednesday, his speech therapists broke out the Don't Break the Ice game.  Her focus is working on his verbal ability to say the whole sentence "Its my turn" and "Its your turn", to actually turn take, and he thinks its just hilarious.
