Kickin' It with Music

Watch the video
"Kick the Tambourine" 


While Kevin was in inpatient rehab his music therapist was getting some extra neurologic training. This type of music therapy is benefitting Kevin with some of his exercises that we are working on in physical and occupational therapy. She has collaborated with Kevin's therapists and come up with some fun and creative ways to disguise music around his exercise therapy. We often use the parachute and a big stretchy band to work on gross motor skills and she's getting him to work extra hard reaching up and over to strum or bang instruments. I even captured a photo of him initiating using his left hand to play the piano. And she always makes a great effort at modeling and using his Talker with Kevin during his sessions.
