What OTs work on through Puzzles

I feel like people can truly understand our work and our skill sets when they see it in action. I always share videos like these with my client’s parents to help them understand what we covered and what I am targeting. A puzzle isn’t just a puzzle but a way for us to work on postural stability, sustained attention, visual scanning, visual tracking, receptive and expressive language, following directions, and emotional regulation.

Just a tip. You can start on simple to complex task. At first try letting the puzzle be in the correct sequence by which child would just snap the puzzle into its place so that child would have a sense of completion and achievement and also to have a general picture of the puzzle. Then step 2 therapist will disassemble the pieces one more time on that sequence like on the video by scattering the pieces to see/evaluate childs executive function and emotional regulation by creating the pieces into a whole picture. Cues and prompts to be provided depending on the childs cognitive ability.
