An oldie but a goodie! 😁👍 Rolling snakes for strength, putting coins for dexterity, pinching clips for grip and posting in piggy for control.

As the Aleksandr the Maeekat says "simples" 🐿 (yes that's a squirrel, they don't have a meerkat emoj)

@OT_Expert Many times working with devoutly religious families here in the middle east trying to address their sensory seeking teen sons frequent masterbation. You've never heard so many euphemisms in one conversation. Done it so often I'm impossible to embarrass now 😁

Build those dressing skills and have them buttoning up independently in no time at all with this simple and fun therapy hack 😄

Learning to button doesn't have to be a fiddly, frustrating and stressful experience for parent or child.

@SusanMadigan3 @AdultingADHD 2 of my go tos: fruit leather, can be tricky to find but you can order online for any sweet toothed folks or my fav. A South African pal introduced me to Biltong. Essentially their version of jerky, really great and chewy oral sensory input 😄👍
