Lukas's First Therapy Session

Jumpstart Therapies would like to congratulate Lukas and Karin on their first therapy visit today!! Lukas was GREAT and seemed to enjoy working with Jonathan. Jonathan LOVES dogs, and he and Lukas became instant friends. Lukas even learned a new trick for Jonathan today...going across an obstacle course of benches and other large plastic puzzle pieces that Jonathan arranged for him. Jonathan is working on motor planning, and one aspect of motor planning is to be able to teach/tell someone else how to perform a task. Jonathan first told Lukas, then demonstrated it, and watched as Lukas completed the course. Both did very well!! Good job, boys!!!



In this video, Jonathan is helping groom Lukas, because as you can see, Lukas has a lot of hair to keep up with. He is also working with speech and language pathologist, Stephanie Kozeny while working.



We look forward to seeing this Pet Partner team in the near future. Good first day!!!

Tammy
