[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Make it fun whatever you try to do. Gross Motor: wheel barrow--hold his legs, have him walk on his hands, swimming, playing on playground Fine Motor: hide small items like pennies or beads in OT putty (you can buy online) This website has some good ideas: http://therapystreetforkids.com/ [/quote] Thanks, this is helpful. I'd like some of the time we spend playing together to be purposeful while also being fun, so your ideas are helpful. In the pool I throw rings that he catches on his arm, and at home we play ball-catching games. I will definitely check out the website you mentioned and I will get some OT putty. We also have little stretchy bands you put on your fingers, but that's not so fun. He sits on a balance ball whenever he uses the computer.[/quote]
