In my previous post I discussed five tips that will help early interventionists in collaborating with families to embed therapeutic strategies into their daily routines.\u00a0 To review, the tips are: start with a routine based interview, incorporate family goals into strategies, set up the environment, follow the family\u2019s and child\u2019s lead, and be creative.\u00a0 In this post I wanted to give early interventionists specific examples.\u00a0 Not all families go to the park or take their children shopping, so I tried to use activities that most families do daily.\u00a0 The following are some ideas for incorporating intervention strategies into daily routines:<\/p>\n

Meals<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Language \u2013 can work on signs \u201cmore\u201d, \u201ceat\u201d, \u201cdrink\u201d, \u201cplease\u201d<\/p>\n

Fine motor \u2013 fine pincer grasp to pick up finger foods, hold cup, practice using utensils, wiping face and hands (also a sensory activity)<\/p>\n

Gross motor \u2013 practice pulling up to stand, climbing up into high chair or regular chair<\/p>\n

Social\/Emotional \u2013 practice playing peek-a-boo with wash cloth during cleaning up after meal<\/p>\n

Sensory \u2013 opportunities to play with their food, finger painting with applesauce, pudding, spaghetti, etc.<\/p>\n

Diaper changes<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Gross motor \u2013 rolling, transitioning in\/out of sitting, pull to sit for head control, stretches (because there are many opportunities to stretch throughout the day and it\u2019s natural to stretch to take off\/put on clothes and diapers)<\/p>\n

Fine motor \u2013 playing with toys during changes, practicing zippers, large buttons<\/p>\n

Language \u2013 work on opposites: on\/off, up\/down, and body parts<\/p>\n

Laundry<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Gross motor \u2013 push basket (upright or upside down), pull to stand at over turned basket, toss socks into basket<\/p>\n

Cognitive \u2013 sort colors, match socks<\/p>\n

Sir John Lubbock once said, \u201cWhat we see depends mainly on what we look for\u201d.\u00a0 As early interventionists, what opportunities do we look for?\u00a0 What are some other daily routines families have?\u00a0<\/strong> We would love to hear your ideas for embedding strategies into specific family routines.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
