Therapy room!

Well its finally finished! Our therapy room in the basement has been put together! I still have some things I want to add but its a great great start! I am so excited and so is Carson!

 

 

 

 Carson is in LOVE with it! This is the A-frame that will hold his swings. It currently has a regular swing and a lycra swing but we are also getting a disc swing, rope, and other attachments.The regular swing is great vestibular input and we use it for other fun activities!

 Here he is inside the lycra swing. He loves to spin, swing and to the washing machine. Great vestibular and proprioceptive input!

Another great thing to do with the A-frame is hanging and flipping, Carson is so proud of his first alone flip. Great for both vestibular input by the spinning and proprioceptive input by the push and pull on the muscles as well as hard work, its really hard getting all the way around.

Therapy ball great for bending, twisting, and bouncing, when on the swing I will roll this at him and that provides proprioceptive input, we call it bowling for Carson.

All our therapy toys! Mostly toys we already had that we are adapting into new toys.

Swinging and throwing balls at a penguin vestibular input that is also challenging!

After throwing the ball he has to stay on swing to try and get it, this is great heavy work!

Then we had him jump off the swing and land on the target, vestibular input by swinging, hard work by jumping off the swing, an proprioceptive when landing on the pillows.

To make it even harder work, somersault off the swing onto the target.

After therapy we worked on some fine motor skills, today Carson picked stringing beads on pipe cleaner.

These were just the activities we tried on the first day. We have since then added a few new ones, and we recently tried an obstacle coarse in the air, it was tough but a lot of fun and a lot of hard work! I am so blessed to have the space to give him a therapy room!
