Timocco training day

One of the occupational therapist that was there said: “it was very interesting. Now I know that it’s not that complicated as I thought, and that Timocco … [Read more...]
Ask Sarit: I treat children with difficulties in sensory integration. How can I integrate Timocco in this kind of therapy?
Thanks for the great question! Timocco increases body awareness and enhances the sense of body boundaries and body scheme. While playing Timocco you have to be very regulated and to have a full control over your body and movements in order to act within the limits of the virtual environment. The Timocco gaming balls themselves are a sensory input - you can use the balls or any other similarly colored, rounded object to play. For example you could use a rounded object with a different texture, … [Read more...]

School OT talks about using Timocco

Ask Sarit: I want to work with my client on strengthening his upper extremities and back and improving his balance. When he plays soccer with his friends, he tends to fall or slip quite often. He does not seem to have the stamina to stand and play with his friends for a long time. This frustrates him and the other kids complain that he plays too rough. Could I use Timocco to work on that?
Timocco games can certainly encourage children to be active and to play using their arms often at shoulder height or higher. The different games can be adjusted to every child according to their needs. You can choose whether you want to work on motor planning, stamina, visual and audial perception, attention skills or communication skills. Because the games are played by moving the children's arms, it encourages them to use their upper extremities and core muscles. Some of the games require … [Read more...]

Anat Oppenheim Occupational Therapist Milman Children’s Autism Center … [Read more...]
