Remember our First Timer back in January? Well, here she is 3 months later and having a blast interacting with other children and working with our therapist on motor skills.

See more of her and other videos here.

Angelfish Therapy is featuring First and Second Timers during the month of January.  These sessions showcase children with a variety of diagnosis who are experiencing aquatic therapy for the first time.

Beginning Treatment – 2nd Session

In this second visit, this child has already improved from clinging to the therapists neck when she first started. The OT has used rhythmical movements, proprioception, and deep pressure to help the child feel more comfortable in the pool.

As her body awareness improves, she is able to work on extension rotation, prone extension and grasping an object off the side of the pool.

The child’s speech therapist noticed she was more vocal after sessions in pool (she goes to speech therapy after the session).
