OT FUN at Home
As with clinic based OT, I find that children attend to telehealth sessions best with a little movement first and then incorporated throughout the session. I mean, it’s tough for me to sit and stare at a screen for longer than 30 minutes without taking a break so I can only imagine how these kiddos feel!
This activity is similar to games I’ve created in the past, but it offers new ideas for those that are looking:). These activities provide both vestibular and proprioceptive input (two forms of input that can have a positive affect on your child’s overall regulation and attention). After the big movement, it’s always best to do some form stretching/deep breathing to help the child settle and to better transition into the next activity.
To play this particular dice game all you’ll need is space to move, dice, and a pile of pillows. Stay safe and healthy!
