Occupational Therapy visit...


We just love our new Occupational Therapist...her name is ElsaB' and she is full of ideas and opportunities for Brayden...she is from South Africa, so I LOVE hearing her talk. Brayden gets a full work-out of stimuli play/ sensory-tactile play, physical play, all combined with working on fine motor skills. This is only our 3rd session, but by the pictures you can tell Brayden loves it!
Who would of thought playing in a bin full of beans would be fun? He was a little unsure at first, but we played with these last session and he remembered them, he immediately tried sticking his feet in, as he played in these last time with his feet...too funny!















Brayden even got to play with some play-doh...he wasn't so sure of it, but had fun sticking his fingers in it...








So, another successful session...way to go Brayden!

What kind of facility do you go to for OT? I have been offered NOTHING like this!!! I was thinking that the bin full of beans would be easy to do. What is it suppose to work on???

WTG Brayden! He is just too cute!!

From looking at all your pics, it appears that you must take him to his therapies? Do you all not have in-home or are you doing private therapy? Just curious as it sure looks like they are doing an AWESOME job!!
