Free dinosaur themed therapy at home activity guide for parents and therapists.
It can be a bit overwhelming to maintain your child's sensory diet at home, especially during this period of distance learning when you're already trying to balance working from home and home educating your kids. That's why I've been putting together these free therapy at home activity guides.
So if your kids are big fans of dinosaurs (who isn't?!), then they'll love this free dinosaur themed therapy at home activity guide. It's filled with awesome dinosaur activities for kids to learn about emotions, work on speech and language, and so much more!
Dinosaur 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.
