Anti Burst Therapy Balls
First to recommend
Description
I use therapy balls a lot during my treatment sessions. An excellent way to work on trunk strengthening. Have the child sit on it, lay on it, and bounce on it to increase tone and muscle strength for the core muscles. Also great for children with sensory needs.

Can't think of fun activities for your child to do while on the ball? A great book for giving ideas and suggestions that will keep your child interested in their exercise program.

I use this book all the time when teaching a child how to cut. Can make simple and more complex projects depending on the needs of the child. Great for learning how to cut curves, lines, and simple shapes. Kids love the animal and holiday pictures.

Great for kids with sensory needs. Gives sensory input while your child is completing quiet time activities. Can use them to pick up, push, roll on, and be squished by to give a lot of proprioceptive input. Can be used at home or at school.

An Introduction to How Does Your Engine Run?
First to recommend
Description
I use this program often during my therapy sessions. It is easy to learn and most children are able to grasp the concept of their "engine" being too high, too low, or just right. Can be used at school and at home.

Pencil grips don't fit on crayons? No problem with triangular crayons. Great way to assist in proper finger positioning even when coloring.

Beyond Play: Get a Grip on Patterns

I love this game and use it all the time with children that are having fine motor difficulty or hand weakness. It also works on visual motor and visual perceptual skills. A must have for any occupational therapist. (via beyond play)
