Visual Vestibular Activity Highlight: Hammock Basketball! 🏀

This activity might be a great match for your sports loving clients! Set up two hammocks from one point, grab some beanbags or stuffed animals, and GO! Keep score if that feels good, or just play for fun 😊

Ways to grade the activity for the “just right challenge”:

🏀 Increase the number of beanbags

🏀 Increase the distance between the two hammocks

🏀 Use foam bats to play defense

🏀 Use a lighter object to pick up, like snowballs

Oral Motor Activity Highlight: Tongue Sweeping! 😋🧹

This can be a silly and playful way to target tongue mobility and stability. It also promotes positive food interactions!

You can also grade down this activity by playing the game with a ping pong ball if your client isn't ready to do it with food.

Have fun and stay silly!

Visual Vestibular Activity Highlight: PDBQ Bucket Toss! 🗑

This activity is a fun way to challenge ocular motor skills while incorporating a little competition which can be really motivating! As always, make sure you consider the postural demands of your client to set them up for success.

Ways to grade the game for the "just right match":

- Increasing or decreasing the client's distance from the chart.

- Putting the client on a swing for increased difficulty and adding a vestibular component.

- Assigning one hand for one direction (i.e. left hand for left letters & right hand for right letters) this would add an additional bilateral coordination challenge.

Have fun!
