Today is National Puzzle Day and we want to celebrate by telling you why therapists love puzzles! Puzzles aren’t just fun—they’re powerful therapy tools! Read below to see why different types of therapists use puzzles when working at IMPACT.
Speech Therapy – Puzzles build language by encouraging kids to name, describe, ask for help, and take turns.
Occupational Therapy – Puzzles strengthens fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, focus, and problem-solving.
Physical Therapy – Puzzles motivate movement like reaching, balance, crossing midline, and body control.
ABA Therapy – Puzzle support following directions, turn-taking, problem-solving, attention, and positive reinforcement.
Kids think they’re playing—but they are really working on BIG therapy goals!
