Reminiscence Bingo
Improve social interaction, orientation, and concentration in adults
Recalling memories of past events is an important part of life review, which is a vital part of development in later life. The reminiscence format of this game addresses this goal in an enjoyable and therapeutic way. The game is directed at adults of all ages. It can be used in outpatient clinics, adult day care groups, nursing homes, senior citizens' centers or any group setting. Instead of numbers, the game uses everyday topics such as School and Work, Recreation, Family, Seasons, Weather, and Holidays. The game includes 12 player cards, 200 chips, a master sheet and master chips for the clinician and an instruction manual. Created by Sarah Austen, OTR/L.

Children with Special Needs and Good Eating Habits
Teaching children with special needs good eating and drinking skills is important to do from the start - a bad habit can be very hard to break! To teach putting the cup back at the correct place on the table just put the Cup Detector where you want the cup to go and watch children eagerly put their cup there to get the reward of lights and music. This can easily be taken to school or daycare to help teach the skill across many settings.
