ABA Activities You Can Do Outside of Therapy

ABA is helping your child develop and grow into the best possible version of themselves. They’re enjoying their sessions and the activities they do with their therapist. But once the therapist goes home, are there any activities you can do with your child that will continue their progress?

Absolutely!

Here are a few activities you can do with your child outside of therapy

• Flashcard games – These will improve language skills, remembering, memorizing, analyzing a problem and storytelling.
• Guess The Emotion – Dealing with emotions can often be difficult for your child. This will help them recognize and express all the different types of emotions
• Matching Games – This will also assist with their memory development and problem solving skills
• Threading – Practicing threading will help the development of their fine motor skills
• Hopscotch – Getting outdoors is important, and this game is fun and interactively assists the development of gross motor, fine motor and social skills

Engaging with your child outside of therapy sessions in sensory activities is beneficial in many different ways, as it can help with: brain stimulation, social skills such as communication and cooperation, coordination, as well as fine/gross motor skills.

These activities are also important for you

Being a part of their process will help you learn more about your child and how they see the world. And you’ll probably have a lot of fun doing it too.
