For those of you in the educational world, you are familiar with team teaching; those of you in the therapy world are familiar with co-treating. Essentially what we are doing everyday in Bridges is exactly that! It's one big long day of team teaching and co-treating. Today was such a wonderful example of that! Currently, we are running summer camps- a little different than our school year Bridges program. We did this to accomodate the need for school age children to participate in our program. We run 2 week long mini units. This session is zoo animals (I'll be posting some resources we used later).
Our amazing speech pathologist knew what the unit was and together we were able to adapt an activity for the whole group. She was treating a boy who's speech goals include following directions, turn taking, giving directions, and asking questions. Today we played the game Uno Moo , which is the cuttest game! It fit into our animals theme, the whole group was able to participate, AND she addressed a wide variety of speech goals.
The open communication made the activity so easy and took little (if any really) planning to make it all work in our day. I have been lucky enough to see several examples of this from our PTs and OT, but I had it on my mind today that I wanted to write about this and it just appeared so perfectly today!
