Description

Encourage the child as much as possible. Eye-hand control, visual processing, hand muscles, motor planning, and motor memory all must come together for a child to succeed. Take each perspective into account and plan your support accordingly. Use sensory activities first to make it more fun. Draw a path in the playdough with the pencil. Use sand or shaving cream. Start with one maze path, and make it wider, and make the edges sticky with the glue stick. Change the plane for drawing (more horizontal). Play tug of war with the pencil. The child holds the pencil with the tripod grasp tight and you try to pull the pencil out. Need more tips? Contact Ambiki OT team.

What are activity lists?

An activity list consists of activity list items which can be phonemes, blends, words, minimal pairs, phrases, sentences, and/or paragraphs.

A list can contain all of the same type of items (i.e. word list) or it could be a mix of different types of items (i.e. some words and some minimal pairs).

Activity lists are not only for speech therapists. Ambiki has many activity lists for OTs and PTs as well.

As an example, an OT might use a "Zones of Regulation" activity list to work on Emotional Regulation with a patient.

A PT might use a "Coordination Activities" list with a patient to practice Strength or Bilateral Coordination exercises.

An alternate way to think of an activity list is that it is like a manual for how to use a PDF resource. Ambiki activity lists are connected to Ambiki PDF resources. The activity list is a way to look at a resource from another perspective - to cover the resource completely from preparation to the end of the session. Each activity list item provides a way that you can elicit a response from your client.
