Leya Spoils Chief with LOTS of Treats

This little sweetie is Leya. In this video, 3 different disciplines are co-treating with Leya. The physical therapist, Dana, is helping Leya with postural control. Her speech therapist, Kerri-Lynn, is helping Leya with communication, and I am her occupational therapist. We are working on getting objects out of large containers, grasping them, and releasing them. By having her reach across her body for treats, we are also working on crossing midline of the body. By sitting with her feet dangling off the bench, we are also addressing sitting balance. So many things are being treated with this one activity of feeding treats to Chief. THis is also the young lady we want to use the jelly bean switch with Chief.
