Motor Planning and the Nintendo Wii

This is what I wanted to name yesterday’s post but with my early onset Alzheimer’s I couldn’t think of the term until Baloney posted. Aha.

Anyway, as I was talking yesterday, kids with Asperger’s can benefit from physical and occupational therapy. Many of these kids have weak core muscles and so exercises are prescribed. SuperPizzaBoy hates doing exercises. We had a Nintendo Wii and now we have the WiiFit. So now, to a certain extent, SPB isn’t exercising, he is playing videogames.

He has a ball and his Dad loves it. Of course my Wii fit age came in 8 years younger than his actual age.

I know, I know, it just further reinforces the notion that we are supposed to entertain the kids. I really don’t care right now.

    We love the wii fit! The yoga one has been really good for Courtney. The one where you have to balance the balls and roll them in the holes is really hard for her and me. Brett is great at that one.

    Cute video!
