Peep this video for the WHY behind every step of this course.

✨ Miss Jackie coming in with her TOY choice of the year and it’s a TWO-fer!!!
⚡️ Vib Plate: OTs are loving the vibration plate to target so many things - sensory input, constipation, strength and coordination tool…so many more!
🐻 Beanie Babies or small Plush toys can be so versatile! Work on coordination through toss and targeting, put on belly and work on breathing, and you can just PLAY and imagine…the best therapy of all!

✨ Miss Brooke's Fav OT Toy ✨

"We have been loving the Cactus Game! It's a 4 in one game that focuses on coordination, timing, reaction time, focus/attention, and is a great way to focus/harness energy! At home both my 5 and 8 year old play different levels of each game and we have a BLAST"
