Free animal themed therapy at home activity guide for parents and therapists.
The therapy at home activity guides are a simple way to work on a variety of skills and sensory diet activities that your autistic child craves and needs. I've made a space themed one and an ocean/beach themed one so far, but this one is all about animals.
From animal walks and fun sensory bin ideas to learning about emotions with animals, this free animal themed therapy at home activity guide is full of awesome ideas that the kids will love.
Animal Themed Therapy at Home Activity Guide for Kids
This activity guide is meant to help you do therapy at home by incorporating sensory diet activities into your child's day and working on fine motor, emotional, social, and speech/language skills.It is not meant to replace traditional therapy.
It is more of a lesson plan of sorts for parents to use at home and for therapists to share with the families they serve, especially during this period of distance and remote learning.
All of the printables included in this guide are free to print.
I've also included a free PDF version of this activity guide (download at the bottom of the post), complete with clickable links, so that you can save it to your phone, share it with your clients, or whatnot. The format is based on my free Weekly Autism Planner printable. Here's what activities are included:
