Yes! I completely agree that creativity and looking for the opportunities in any activity to address what’s needed are key!

-In example 1- they talked about feeding strategies, but then they went outside to play in the sandbox to work on expressive language while doing a favorite task in real time and would allow for some opportunity to work on problems that parent could point out.
Example 2- was more relevant as it was a difficult moment that mom identified in real time to provide opportunity to problem solve. It provided mom with ideas that she can practice to build on her previous knowledge. The therapist was very flexible to work on mom/child struggles, versus preplanned therapy ideas.

2. To make a good teamwork, sometimes you need to work on what is difficult/frustrating for the family to help calm and then they could probably use that problem solving situation into other areas for carry over. A creative therapist can always find a way to incorporate identified problems (Fine motor) into any activity that the parent’s may be having difficult with- such as buckling, climbing, using expressive language during the task.
