Uphill Battle


Luke continues to work on so many different skills with his PT.  I remember when we first started therapy with Luke at age 15 months, the goal was for him to crawl.  Then once he could crawl we worked on his ability to crawl up a mat that was shaped like a large triangle, kind of like a ramp.  Now that Luke can walk well with his walker they keep working on his balance and one of the way to do this is to work on his walking skills up and down a ramp. 

The other day his PT worked on this with Luke and she used a large exercise ball as well.  The goal was for Luke to walk up the ramp and push the ball up the ramp at the same time.  Then once he gets to the top he gets to push the ball and let it roll down the ramp and hit any toys at the end.  This wasn’t the first day they did this exercise and Luke always finds the part with the ball rolling down funny.
