Bothell Pediatric and Hand Therapy

We are celebrating Hand Therapy week @ BP&HT ! Share with us significant ways that you find you value your hands! High Five!

In honor of speech therapy month, here is our first post dedicated to speech therapy. Here, our speech therapist: Emily, is working on targeting consonant-vowel, or CVCV, combination to support motor patterns to help improve articulation skills. Contact us to schedule a speech therapy appointment with our speech therapists!

Here at Bothell Pediatric and Hand Therapy, we use this visual schedule to help with task transitions during therapy. With this task schedule, we are asking the child to pick which tasks they would like to do, in the order they want. This helps with attention to tasks, building social skills (sharing choices with an adult), activity persistence, and executive functioning/planning and organization to follow a sequence of steps in a given amount time.

Copying patterns with lego blocks help children develop the necessary visual motor skills needed for daily tasks including dressing, reading, and writing. It also addresses visual perceptual skills and fine motor coordination. The ultimate occupational therapy activity!

Most kids don’t like eating their vegetables but with feeding therapy we can work on increasing tolerance for vegetables through sensory play by creating a rainbow out of vegetables! Food is and can be fun! Contact us to schedule an appointment with our feeding therapists!
