It seems like the biggest challenge some days in the midst of so many therapies is getting caught in therapy ruts. Doing the same old thing day after day bores the girls and me. I got a brief moment of inspiration the other day to try to change things up and get some new tactics. I also got some help from the people on my RS forum (about Abby's diagnosis). Here is what I have come up with:
- Using a weighted blanket to try to get Abby to sleep through the night... or at least for longer than 2 hour increments. The kid is freaking exhausting.
- A gait trainer. Not sure if we need one but brainstorming is supposed to be about not shooting down ideas.
- Swing Therapy. Using doorway swings helps kids like Abby find their center of gravity. Might be fun too. :D
- Visual Therapy. Not sure how this would go but I will talk to the eye doc in a couple weeks. It would help with her depth perception issues.
- Equestrian Therapy. Could be pricey but I will look into it. As a former equestrian myself I like this idea.
- Water Therapy. Yay for swimming! If our DDD appeal gets accepted I will get this one going.
- Benik Vest - Help with her lack of core strength. I asked for a price quote from the company but I have a feeling it could be unaffordable.
That's where we are at. If anyone else has any ideas I would love to hear them.

I just saw the weighted blanket the other day. That's a great idea! How about a ball pit for them? Trouble, or they might like it.
Love the new picture of them btw. :)
