Ability Plus Therapy

Happy Father's Day to all the amazing dads, grandpas, stepdads, and father figures! 💚

Our kiddos wanted to share a special message in the ways that work best for them.

Some used their voices.
Some used Tobii Dynavox AAC.
Some used both.
Some even shared their message in more than one language.

Different methods. Same message.
✨ Happy Father's Day! ✨

We believe every child deserves a way to communicate, connect, and share meaningful moments with the people they love most. Today is one of those moments. 💙

To all the dads who encourage, support, advocate, and celebrate every milestone, this one's for you! 🎉

Occupational therapy is all about building the skills needed for everyday life, and sometimes that looks a lot like playing games. 💪🎲

In Leduar’s three-week Intensive Occupational Therapy session, every activity was carefully chosen to target functional skills while keeping him engaged and motivated.

🧩 Chroma Cube Logic Puzzle – Standing with support from the Molift Raiser Pro, he played while working on a fine motor and cognitive challenge that required two-handed coordination, problem-solving, visual-spatial skills, and precision as he manipulated and placed each cube onto the board.
🧤 Cognimate Glove – Through interactive games, he worked on opening and closing his hand, grading control between fully open and fully closed, hand-eye coordination, timing, and motor control. Holding his hand open is especially challenging, making this a powerful way to build functional movement.
🚲 Arm Biking + E-Stim – While maintaining his grasp on the handles, he practiced active elbow extension and reciprocal movement patterns. The e-stim helped activate his triceps, reinforcing the movement needed for functional tasks like dressing, washing hands, and reaching away from his body without losing his grip.
🃏 Mantis Game – Standing at the Rifton Adaptive Desk with support from the Molift Raiser Pro, he worked on reaching, pinching, fine motor control, and standing endurance. These skills translate directly to self-care activities such as brushing teeth and other daily routines.

Every game, every reach, and every repetition is helping build the foundation for greater independence. 🙌

Fantastic work Leduar! 💪
