Board games are a great addition to pediatric therapy sessions and they can help children work on a wide variety of skills! There are many benefits that come from board games, ranging from increased cognitive function and self-regulation skills to improved language development, fine motor and visual motor abilities. Hand strength, fine motor coordination, dexterity, bilateral coordination, visual attention, visual discrimination, visual perception, sensory input, emotional regulation, reciprocal play, planning, memory, and sequencing skills are other aspects of board games that help your child develop!

Do you remember the String game Cat’s Cradle? Did you know this can be a solo game? String games like the Cat’s Cradle help improve hand-eye coordination and help strengthen the small muscles in the hands and fingers as well as develop our in-hand manipulation skills. It is great for building on our sequencing, planning, and memory skills. Do you remember all the steps to the Cat’s Cradle? #shenandoahsoundstart #finemotor #winchesterva #ot #winchesterot #pediatrictherapy #teletherapyrocks #teletherapy #pediatricot #coordination #sequencing #planning #learnthroughplay #developmentalexercises #therapyisfun #catscradle #VA #winchester #soundstart (at Shenandoah SOUNDstart, LLC) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDj9DxLBbW7/?igshid=1cile7tkkx9ie

Legos! One of our favorite therapy toys. Not only is Lego building great for building the small muscles and coordination in the fingers and hands, it is also great for following directions, problem solving, planning and organizing, language development, pretend play, and strengthens our visual perception skills. Legos fosters creativity as well as academic skills such as big and small, fractions, colors, and physics or engineering skills. #shenandoahsoundstart #learnthroughplay #winchesterot #winchesterslp #winchesterpt #winchesterva #soundstart #ot #pt #slp #lovewhatyoudo #playallday #buildingblocks #va #pediatrictherapy #pediatricoccupationaltherapy #pediatricphysicaltherapy #pediatricspeechtherapy #everychilddeservesasoundstart #playgrowlearn (at Shenandoah SOUNDstart, LLC) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDPyeNvBVp1/?igshid=x2boske24n43
