For older children, mirrors can also be helpful for motor planning, giving a visual cue for how to move the body, or for learning to produce certain speech sounds by watching the mouth. Mirrors are a go-to tool in all of our services and for all ages!

𝘍𝘶𝘯𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘔𝘰𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺 involves the motions we need to get around and complete necessary tasks. Examples include reaching up to get food out of the cupboard or getting into the car. Functional mobility looks different for everyone! One person may walk around their house, but use a wheelchair in the community. Another person may benefit from an ankle brace to make walking more efficient! Physical therapists are trained to find what works best for each individual.

The 𝘷𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘣𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘳 𝘴𝘺𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘮 is the sensory system that responds to changes in head position, gravity, body movements through space, and coordinates movements of the eyes, head, body, muscle tone, equilibrium, and attention. Signs of a hypersensitive vestibular system include getting motion sick. Signs of hyposensitive system include loving roller coasters! (emoji) It’s important to note that these responses can be changed with intervention or exposure. For example, most kids “grow out” of car sickness.
