I p...For kids as young as Peyton, playing is OT!!! I probably should have given you a heads up as to what kind of stuff goes on. They are working on gross and fine motor (like putting the worms in the holes). And really, he's more apt to do this stuff because it is fun than if they were to do "exercises" as you call them.<BR/><BR/>The clothes, textures, etc all have to do with his sensory disorder and overloading, etc. He just can't process everything correctly in a way. And kids like this love pressure. I'm sure your OT will get to it, but a compression vest or blanket are wonderful! They are basically like lead vests and provide the pressure they crave. <BR/><BR/>I know others can give you more and better information since it has been years since I've had any training, and there's new stuff all the time. You might also want to get an exercise ball. Does he have trouble focusing like if you read him a book? You can sit on the ball with him and bounce while Chris or Matt reads a book, you'd be amazed at how that movement allows them to concentrate better!!!Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15759706793491852266noreply@blogger.com
