Occupation Therapy - Sensory Integration : How well can Nathanael balance?

Image
We rekindled therapy sessions with Ms Teo again. When Nathanael was initially diagnosed with infantile spasm, we had a regular therapy session with Ms Teo. Ms Teo is a Christian and practices physio and occupation therapy at home. Ms Teo also does a lot of sensory integration as well. She was evaluating Nathanael's current progress and state that we need to continue to work a lot more on him, so that his motor development would continue to progress more and thus helping him overall.

Nathanael's Balancing Board

As part of Nathanael's therapy and daily exercise to stand, we've added a one step up, to aid Nathanael to balance when he stands. Nathanael still needs to learn to balance on his own, as you can see he's still leaning on the door! So pray for him yah!! A Close Up shot of the Balance Board. It functions pretty much like a see saw. Where Nathanael will stand on the the far end of the boards to keep his balance upright! [tags : darentiff nathanael ]
