Doing rice

One thing we use for therapy is what we call doing rice. We pour rice into a bowl. The amount is dependent on the ability if the child and what we want to accomplish. The child then has to scoop the rice into a empty bowl by the spoonful while accomplishing another task,such as saying a affirmation with each spoonful. If the child does not do the required task the rice is.dumped back in the first container and the child starts over. Currently we have one who will cut her own foot off rather than ask for help so with each spoonful she must ask for help. We get very creative in healing our kids! Doing rice is just one of the many things we do!
