Becoming Stronger and confident with play: Cerebral Palsy

I see a child with Cerebral Palsy, 3 Years 5 months, twice a week. He is a quadriplegic with limited motor movements. He is taking Neurodevelopmental Treatment, Occupational Therapy for Sensory Integration, and Play-Language and Social

communication Therapy. 

His joint attention is an emerging skill. Presently I am working on sustenance in an activity, inhibition, delayed gratification, expansion of language and emotional regulation.

He feels happy when he is able to break towers, push blocks or do a foot fight. He is so proud of every tower he breaks. Such play involving motor movements are making him confident to move his limbs when he is taking his NDT (Neuro-developmental Treatment). His muscles are becoming stronger as we use more playful activities for confident motor movements. 

It’s beautiful to see how play has a spillover effect in so many areas. #playissurvival
