Here is a video taken with Brian's permission for the blog! Today in PT he spent the whole hour walking on this treadmill to really challenge his balance. He did a few different exercises while on this treadmill and this was the final one and HE NAILED IT! It was so cool to watch and I honestly think I would struggle with this. Brian had a behavior tech with him for a few of his session today since last night was not great. The tech that was with him during PT also agreed that that would be hard to do.
The behavior techs are paired with all patients on a behavior plan to observe the patient behavior, and usually more often following bad days. The techs are more specialized in observing the behavior of each patient and they take notes to help the behavior specialist make any necessary edits to each behavior plan.
Today Brian started his day with ADLs with his OT then he had speech with the assistive technology speech therapist. Then he had scheduled exercise with a PT for a special exercise bike that is similar to a recumbant bike. He had this scheduled previously and did not stick with it. Today he rode that bike for an entire 30 minute session! After that he had a short speech session with his normal speech therapist. Then had a short break for lunch. Then it was PT where he worked on his balance with the treadmill. Then he went and took a nap and then finished out his day with speech where he worked on a lego set.
I really like when Brian has these busy therapy days because I think he does better with more a packed schedule. And as a reminder, I am planning to do only one update on Sunday for the weekend since there isn't much going on over the weekends.
