Gret rotation
There are so many opportunities during hippotherapy to work on rotation, visual fixation and tracking, cause and effect, reaching and balance. Turning around to touch the ball and then hearing the squeak (staff squeezes and squeaks the ball) works on all of these skills..........
I am the author of The Recycling Occupational Therapist and From Rattles to Writing: A Parent's guide to Hand Skills (both sold at Therapro.com) I am also the author of Still Giving Kisses: A Guide to Helping and Enjoying the Alzheimer's Victim You Love. I wrote this book to share my many ideas for therapeutic adaptations and activities that help loved ones enjoy spending time with an Alzheimers victim.
