More Therapy

Since we added OT at our therapy office, I thought I would share a bit of what Justin has been doing.

This is Miss Caroline. And she has Justin working on putting shapes back into puzzles. (The ones with the big knobs that pull out the pieces.) He can do the circle, which is obviously the easiest. He can sometimes do the square and triangle, but not as often.

She also has broken pieces of goldfish for him to try to pick up with his thumb and index finger. He doesn't really like to eat them, but he will pick them up and throw them. That's fine for our purposes right now. We are working on his throwing arm though too. He is a bit too accurate...

She is also working with him to put the rings on this toy. (Sorry, the picture is in the mirror...) He can do it well with 2 hands, but not with one hand. He cannot keep it level to get it on the post. That's what we're working toward.

The time goes very quickly, and Justin is becoming more accustomed to her, so he doesn't need me quite as much. Travis has adapted quite well to therapy, and he helps himself to toys and books for his playtime during Justin's therapy. (He always asks first!) He also has lots of friends there. All the therapists know Travis!

And this is a freebie: This is practicing a little at-home speech therapy. He is supposed to make noises into one end, and listen at the other end, to hear the sounds he makes. Of course, the length of the tube makes the sounds a bit different, and Justin always has to check it out to see where the noise is coming from. It's also very tasty...
