'Fun with Therapy' is for various levels of abilities.
Any pictures shown on therapy are only to give a general idea.
We would recommend that you always consult with your own Physio and Occupational Therapist before trying out new ideas.
Experience of other parents is that therapy goes much better and more is accomplished when you work at your childs pace rather than forcing your child to complete a series of exercises under protest.
You should never make your child do something that they are uncomfortable with.
Sometimes it is good to have a short rest from therapy!
