Rachel is behind in her motor development.  So EI is starting her on physical therapy twice a month.  What will the therapist be doing with her?  Will they show me what to do at home?

    DD's PT showed us how to use toys and activities to get her to work on what she needed.  She gave us ideas to practice through the week.  DD had torticollis, so we needed to place things on her left side, try to get her on her belly as much as possible and look to the left, use her left hand to reach/hold toys, etc...  She also showed us how to stretch her neck and had us practice while she was there, so we felt comfortable!  HTH and GL!
