John doing "The Wheels on the Bus"

Helpful OT Therapy

John's OT recommended that I show John some videos online and they have been really helpful. John has never really enjoyed doing some of the songs with movements to them, but he loves watching these videos and he has even started doing the movements. However, he doesn't like for me to watch him while he does them. If I'm standing right there he usually won't do them, so I leave the room and then come back to hit play again. I had to hide around the corner to get this video clip of him watching Row, Row, Row Your Boat. When he points both his pointer fingers that is how John asks us "one more time" and the woman in the video is saying lets do it one more time.

You can find the videos by going to You Tube and in the search field type in Cullen's ABCs. This preschool teacher has over 500 videos on You Tube. Here are a few of John's favorites so far.
