Wooden toy for matching and sorting different sized carrots. Great for fine motor skills also to remove and place the carrots in the board!
Balance Disc on Amazon
This is not a new discovery. . . this balance disc or “disc-o-sit” is a great addition to your therapy equipment. Kids can use these to sit or stand on. Most of the time, we use these for sitting – either to practice working on balance and activating their core muscles, or as a “wiggle seat” for those kiddos that are able to sit well, but have that sensory “need” to move more. This allows them to get some movement in while sitting in one place!
Mentorship Opportunity
I am currently providing mentorship to: New OT Grad’s, OT’s New to Early Intervention, and any other Early Intervention therapist or provider that is interested!!
Join me now for video meetings where we can discuss issues related to OT with the pediatric population, and especially for Early Intervention and Early Childhood.
Current prices – subject to change at any time: $25 for a 30 minute session or $40 for a 60 minute session. These video sessions are one-on-one with me, Allison Carter, of the Milestones Podcast!
Send me an email at allison@mymidwesttherapy.com to find out more or to schedule a session.
