Below, I've also shared some therapy notes for the week....

THERAPY NOTE-Physical Therapy 4/15

Landon tolerated the session well. He practiced the stairs earlier this am with the therapist, going up/down 15 steps with one railing and one hand held using step to pattern and min. to mod. support for balance; he went up 15 steps with one railing and one hand held alternating his feet with mod. support. He stood for 10 seconds x 1, 12 seconds x 1 and 5-6 seconds x 5 trials during circle time activities in the classroom and he took one forward step leading with the right foot. Continue with plan of care.

THERAPY NOTE-Physical Therapy 4/15 Landon was seen mostly in his classroom today. He practiced floor transfers; pulling up via 1/2 kneeling independently mostly at the sink where he seems to enjoy having his hands washed. He lowers himself with both hands supported with good/fair control He transfers via plantargrade position with hands pushing off the surface with mod. support. He practiced stepping up/down a 4-inch bench alongside his peers with both hands held. He walked in the classroom with one hand held several feet from one designated area to another. He cruised to the right/left using his hands to support most of his weight. Continue with plan of care.

THERAPY NOTE-Occupational Therapy 4/14 Worked with Landon on the playground. He was in his walker moving around. Took him out of the walker so he could explore. Facilitated his crawling up the climbing structure. He seemed hesitant to go down the slide initially but as he was positioned, he went down (lying down, not sitting). We did this several times and the last time, he tried to initiate going down the slide head first. When at the bottom of the slide, he would either wait for help to sit up and then stand or he slid himself off the bottom onto the ground. He also was interested in exploring the tree/dirt area and touched the branches and leaves and also dug his hands into the dirt. Positioned him on the tricycle and when OT pushed the tricycle, he tried to move his feet forward. Positioned Landon in one of the cars as he was interested in the car at the end of the session. Continue with plan of care.
