Preparatory activities are the “warm ups” you incorporate into a treatment session. These activities should stimulate different sensory systems, wake up different muscle groups, and help the child prepare for functional, occupation-based activities.
We dive into WHY we love preparatory activities and we give you our top 10 favorites that you need to include daily!
This isn’t just for therapists - parents and teachers can use these preparatory activities to help children prepare for daily activities at home and in the classroom!
