As important as it is that children learn the importance of colors and matching, we all know that learning at this age needs to be fun. Books, flashcards and games are great tools to use in a therapy session. SmileMakers offers a variety of items that are portable and affordable to assist in the learning process.
SmileMakers has several products that are very beneficial to children that suffer with Sensory Integration Disorder (SID). Creating a portable sensory box out of the large locking containers is a great way to help calm your child in any setting.
Therapists and Early Interventionists can use interactive play to help a child express their feelings, deal with stress, improve behavior, improve communication skills, resolve conflict and more. Having the right tools for play therapy will promote an effective, fun session for your patients.
Oftentimes there are several skills that need to be developed to help children with their well-being or boost their confidence or even help them find social acceptance. The main goal of the family and therapist is to uncover the therapeutic opportunities that will aid in the child’s success.
