💪🚀 Heavy Work in Action: Scooter Board Pulling!

Did you know that “heavy work” activities—like pulling a scooter board—are more than just fun? They give amazing proprioceptive input, which helps children:
✅ Improve focus and attention
✅ Build strength and coordination
✅ Feel calm and organized

When a child pulls themselves—or a friend—on a scooter board, they’re using their big muscles to push and pull against resistance. This provides deep pressure input to the joints and muscles, helping regulate the body and brain.

🖍️✍️ Therapy Spotlight: Prone on Elbows + Swing Time! 🧠💪

Did you know that working in the prone on elbow position (lying on your tummy propped up on your elbows) does more than just look cute? It’s actually a powerhouse position for development!

✅ Builds shoulder and wrist stability — essential for writing and coloring
✅ Encourages weight bearing through the forearms
✅ Strengthens the back and neck muscles to support posture and focus

To make it even more fun and beneficial, we complete this activity on the swing, providing vestibular input—which helps promote engagement, attention, and regulation. 🌀🎯

Therapy disguised as play? Always our favorite kind! 💙
