Play Therapy

Isaac and Ms. Sarah

He loves the ball pit. She has him jump in the tube to get used to aiming for a target in space.

This is a bucket of beans that he sits in and then he has to dig animals out of another bucket of beans. This works on his tactile sensory.

This is the "space shuttle"
This is called the "rodeo sing". It works on his vestibular balance.




For the past couple weeks Isaac has been going to play therapy based on a recommendation from our pediatrician at his 3 year check-up. I was telling the Dr. that we are still having some big seperation anxiety issues, slight impulse control concerns, and of course Isaac's endless need to move and talk. He has a motor that just never stops.



Here are some pictures of him at his therapy session. She has diagnosed him with very mild sensory perception issues. Some of his symptoms are not liking his hands in rice or beans or getting dirty with shaving cream. He bounces around a lot and likes to bang and bump into things. He struggles with focusing and staying on task...stuff along those lines. She thinks a couple months of play therapy along with a rich "sensory diet" at home will help him immensely throughout his life as he learns to deal with outside sensors.



So I will continue to post about his progress and the things we are doing here at home to help him, along with some books I am reading to help us learn techniques that will give Isaac the best start in life. Wish us luck on our new journey!!
