I’ve been exploring how everyday items can be great tools in therapy sessions. For example, using plastic bottles filled with rice can create weighted sensory tools that help with motor skills. What are some of your favorite household items that you’ve adapted for therapeutic use?
I love using old socks filled with rice as both sensory toys and hand weights; they’re super versatile and easy to make; have you tried using them in your sessions, @user? What other items have worked well for you?
I totally get the appeal of using everyday items like plastic bottles for therapy. I’ve also had success with cardboard boxes; they can be transformed into all sorts of fun obstacle courses that promote movement. It’s frustrating how some clients don’t get excited about these simple tools, though.
