This is our journey as special needs parents. The past, the present and making an exceptional future for our daughter. We wanted to document our experiences as we transition our daughter into adulthood. This is our story, without the sugar coating.
Thank you for joining us on the Autism Mastermind Podcast. We are sharing a summer update and how things are a bit different this year and for the future.

Vanessa and Malinda wanted to add some Amazon Links recommendations: Please note: We are not professional trainers, occupational therapists, physical therapists or doctors. These are products we used with our children that made life fun with a bit of fitness. Seek advice from a professional before using anything we have tried:
Please note again: we do make a small commission just by clicking on the amazon links. We use 100% of the funds to pay for the cost of the podcast. Podcasting is fun and we have a great time chatting. The costs are around $1000/yr. Thanks for listening :)
Agility ladder - great for gross motor and obstacle courses. May uses
Weighted ball - Paige loved the 2lb ball to toss into buckets, hold while walking and pass back and forth with me.
Exercise ball - great for sitting at a table, sensory bouncing
Yoga mat - this one is thicker for more cushion on hard flooring
Punching bag - so fun to make a game out of this equipment
Wobble board for balance practice:
Balloons! Because they are fun! Lots of games you can play
Weighted hoops - these are just fun!
Plastic stepping stones - great for playing “the floor is lava” or an obstacle course (can you tell by now I am a fan of making an obstacle course?)
Wobble disk - one of the best toys to make fitness fun and getting sensory input
Activity dice: makes time go by fast when at dr appts.
