Aids for Daily Living: Teaching How To Turn Lights On
By: Renata Bursten, Dragonfly Staff
Play can be serious business as the Light Bulb & Switch demonstrates. Before trying to teach how to control lighting with a regular switch on the wall try working with this training device on a table top. It can help teach that up means on and down means off as well as the fine motor skills needed to activate a regular sized wall switch.

PLAY Tip
One fun game to play with a PhysioBall
Try lying kids on a physiotherapy ball on their tummies. Encourage them to reach up, perhaps to remove magnets from the refrigerator door. Neck, back, stomach, and arm muscles are all strengthened. This is a great exercise for children with low muscle tone!
