This week for OT Month, we’re thinking about how to promote midline crossing and body coordination through meaningful play activities. Here are some fun, purposeful activities you can use at home to support these skills!

✨ Collaborative Mirror Mimicry: Partners stand face-to-face and copy each other’s movements—even tricky asymmetrical ones like reaching across the body. Great for coordination and shared attention.

🥁 Bilateral Rhythm Band: Using two drumsticks, kids follow a beat while crossing midline to hit drums on opposite sides—combining rhythm, listening, and movement planning.

🎈 Parachute Teamwork: Working together to keep a ball or balloon from falling off a parachute builds cooperation, timing, and coordinated upper body movement.

🧲 Giant Magnet Drag: Using both hands to guide a magnetic wand and move a heavy object creates resistance and feedback while strengthening shoulders and coordination.

🍕 Pool Noodle “Pizza”: Sliding noodle “donuts” onto a vertical stick encourages midline crossing and symmetrical reaching—no fine motor grasp required!

This week for OT Month, we’re focusing on the foundations of gross motor skills and core strength. 💪 There are so many ways OT creatively work on these skills. You can do the same at home!

🛹 Obstacle Course: Create a fun course where children transport meaningful items (like favorite toys or puzzle pieces) across unstable surfaces such as pillows or crash pads to a designated “safe zone.” This encourages balance, coordination, and purpose-driven movement.

🎨Core Powered Painting: Secure paper to the floor and have children paint using long-handled brushes while in quadruped or tall-kneeling positions. This promotes core activation while engaging in creative play.

📦“Heavy Work” Delivery Service: Children push or pull a weighted laundry basket filled with items to deliver them to different therapists or stations. This builds strength, provides proprioceptive input, and encourages social interaction.

🎳“Human Bowling Ball”: The child sits on a scooter board or sensory chair while holding a crash pad, and is gently pushed into soft foam blocks. This activity targets core stability while providing fun proprioceptive input from the “crash.”

🐸Animal Tape-Walks: Place colorful footprints or animal shapes in a straight path and have children follow directions like “stomp on the lion” or “hop on the frog.” This supports coordination and movement patterns with simple, clear visual cues.

Comprehensive Pediatric Services - All Under One Roof!

Family First Speech Therapy and Kids Connect Occupational Therapy, founded in 2014, have merged their practices to bring you SPACE Therapy & Gym. SPACE stands for Social Play and Creative Education and is a comprehensive therapeutic clinic. Our mission is to serve busy families by offering a unique SPACE and quality services - all under one roof.

SPACE provides the most up to date and innovative treatments in speech therapy, occupational therapy, feeding therapy, applied behavior analysis and DIR® /Floortime™ therapy. With the goal of providing multidimensional treatment and a holistic approach, SPACE purchased a building in Spring Branch, allowing it to expand services for all children. The 6,600 sq foot building is under renovation and is anticipated to open in Spring 2020! It will be the only facility in the greater Houston area that will provide their beloved DIR® / Floortime™ Model, while also offering what some physicians consider to be the gold standard treatment of autism, which is applied behavior analysis (ABA).

SPACE Therapy & Gym is still taking new clients at their current location: 805 Rhode Place, Suite 350 Houston, TX 77019.

In Spring 2020, we look forward to service additions including: Physical Therapy, Open Play Gym, Classes/Camps and Birthday Parties!
