Occupational Therapy!

Yesterday we had our first visit with the Occupational Therapist, Carson had a BLAST! They started with vestibular movement, they sat him on the swing and went back and forth. They started spinning and spinning him around, he was just giggling. After they did an obstacle coarse where he jumped off a large mat into a sheet filled with foam, crawling onto one filled with balls, then crawling through a "fish" which was a tunnel made of a stretchy material. He loved trying to crawl out of the fish. Finally they had him roll the barrel up the cheese mat and climb inside, they rolled him down. He laughed and laughed and laughed. Since this was the first session so they didnt work on other senses except his vestibular and proprioceptive. It was great, he LOVED it and when he found out he got to go back he was ecstatic! Cant wait for our next session.
