This weeks task.

 Well this week at therapy we were charged with a few tasks, We were supposed to increase the complexity of his activities in order to provide more input and find parks with spinning toys. Here are a few things we did to increase the complexity of the activities. Instead of just swinging we had him swing on his stomach and throw a ball at bottles. Once he mastered that we would spin him and have him throw the ball at bottles. After that we did Carson bowling! He rolled from a pretty good distance aiming for the 2L bottles, he liked doing summersaults.

 After that we had him roll over the bottles, this provided great vestibular and proprioceptive input. He thought it was silly!

 After those fun adventures we set up an obstacle coarse. Climbing over and under, jumping and climbing. He loved switching things up and changing the coarse around.

 Bouncing on the ball is great input!

 Believe it or not after all of that he was still not done! He was ready for more and more. So instead of just jumping we put balls on the trampoline and had him "popcorn" them so they would hit him and give him proprioceptive input.

 Then he started jumping high and landing on top of the balls, he loved the rough and tumble play.



Those were just a couple ideas. We are doing our best to think of more, a great book to read for this kind of stuff is "The Out-Of-Sync child has fun" There have been some good ideas in there.

This was all done with items we had around the house. Balls, 2Liter bottles and our swingset and trampoline. 


As for the parks with spinning toys, they dont really exist. I have asked around and looked and looked but no such luck yet. So instead we got passes to our local theme park, there is alot of spinning there!
