Learning to Move from Lying to Sitting Through Sidelying

by travis | Oct 13, 2022

YouTube Video UChOXX1wIs4mmkvAViop6JUw_Ly0ezEvSSHs This is a little girl with delayed development who is learning how to transition from her tummy to sitting up. As you can see, she doesn't like being on her tummy but she immediately calms once she is sitting up. It would be helpful for her to be independent with this movement so that she doesn't become as distraught about being in prone (on her tummy). This move starts with her rolling onto her side and then pushing down through the floor to raise her trunk.

Learning to Jump on a Trampoline

by travis | Sep 26, 2022

YouTube Video UChOXX1wIs4mmkvAViop6JUw_1iNwgeGrt0Q This is a girl with Kabuki syndrome who is learning how to jump on a trampoline. She recently learned to jump on the floor but the trampoline gives her the opportunity to jump repeatedly and maintain her balance. Jumping gives her a lot of vestibular input that can help with her learning about how her body moves and how to control that movement. Although this is a gross motor activity, we always try to incorporate language and cognitive skills into our session when we are able. You can see that she is using sign language to communicate at this time.

Learning To Put On Socks

by Kristy Miller | Sep 10, 2022

YouTube Video UChOXX1wIs4mmkvAViop6JUw_6AM5VMoCx70 This is a girl with visual impairment due to bilateral retinal detachment who is learning to put her socks on. She has become more interested in participating in her daily routines and becoming more independent. Because she is blind, learning new things has to be more intentional for her caregivers and therapists. Body labeling and directions such as up, down, forward, backward, in, out, on all need to start at a very early age. We utilize verbal and tactile cuing along with hand-under-hand as much as realistic.

Rolling Prone to Supine

by travis | Aug 25, 2022

YouTube Video UChOXX1wIs4mmkvAViop6JUw__FbXHPcUTgo This little girl is 8 months old and is learning how to roll from her tummy to her back. You can see that she gets stuck rolling over her left arm. One of the key parts to helping our little ones roll off their tummy is to make sure their arms are tucked into their body and under their shoulders. This allows rolling to happen more easily and naturally as they turn their head or push with an arm or a leg.
