Day 2: St Louis Children's Hospital Therapy Intensive
Today's session was pretty cool. We got to try out a new piece of equipment. It's a Ben Trunk support, which basically is like a weight suit which K puts on, and that gives him more control of his body and gives him more support so that he was able to work better with his crutches on different types of surfaces. We also got to do some handwriting with Ms. Tori, his OT on how to form his letters.
