OT with Jane

Our last session at home for a few weeks - Jane is going to go to Aaron at daycare. Today's theme is "sticky" ..... trying to get him to experiment with that texture & sensation.

  • This may be one of the more entertaining things I've seen.....hammering golf tees into a styrofoam cooler. Luke was very happy to help. Big goal is the joint compression from hammering or pushing, but also eye-hand coordination & the low frequency sound.
  • Jane talked about setting up a ritual for dropping Aaron off at daycare in the morning. (Maybe also get a vibrating toothbrush for daycare)
  • Cutting practice - spring loaded scissors from Dollar Tree, and cutting strips of construction paper - strips are good for the satisfaction of watching the pieces fall off - then use a glue stick to attach them to paper. Also adding foam stickers.
  • Syrup on a plate - dragging the z-vibe through it, and to our surprise he rubbed the z-vibe on his arm and chin as well as tasting it. He had a wet washcloth available for clean-up as he needed it. He dipped poptart pieces into the syrup, and eventually drew cirles with his fingers and sucked on his fingers.
  • Jane will do his next appointment at daycare on Tuesday during their gym time and lunch.
