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).
