Eva has been doing REALLY well in OT the last couple of weeks. She has gotten really comfortable with Jeanna which is always a good thing and she's pretty open to trying most activities....some take a little "bribing" or extra encouragement but she does it! We are so lucky to have had Jeanna for all 3 kids now! Dylan sees her weekly right now too. And Kira had sessions with her for 4 years. We had been meeting weekly but have already decided to switch to every other week!! She's responding really well to her therapy and I'm really starting to see improvements. It's been a long time now since she has refused to walk due to her vestibular disorder and the few times that she has, it's only for minutes, not hours. When she does, we typically just have to do some joint compressions or get her to an area where she can hold onto something and jump! It's such a relief to see her doing so well, so quickly!!!
Here are some pictures for her session on Friday!!
This swing forces hold on and work on her balance more than others....and Jeanna can have it go in a circular motion which is great too!!
The "wobbly" chair allows her to get used to more motion and a lot of different directions....she wasn't sure at 1st but with some encouragement, she did gret!
CHEESE! Taking a little break!
This big pillow was a lot of fun! Eva would climb up and over....once she started down, Jeanna would roll her off one side or the other. Once Eva figured out the rolling off part, she could crawl about a quarter of the way up, and roll HERSELF off since apparently, that was easier!! STINKER!!
I "made a movie" to convince her to continue with the activity on the swing!! Hey! Whatever works!!
