PT- what to buy for house?
My son will be receiving PT in home. I currently work a few cases in home but as an ABA/SEIT provider for EI. I always have a large bag of my own stuff just in case but I always like using things in the child's natural every day environment, mostly for me to transfer stimulus controls and prompt cues. I set up a large play area with a textured foam interlocking mat put their toy box and activity mat. I have tons of sensory items, musical and visually stimulating items so when I work with him on my own to encourage him to turn his neck he has items he likes and will turn his head. He is diagnosed with torticollis and will be getting PT for it. What additional can I or should I purchase that the therapist can use and then I can use outside of sessions to keep working with him?

PT- what to buy for house?
I don't think I would buy anything. Wait and see what they bring and if there's anything they recommend. When dd1 had PT at home all her therapists brought lots of toys, puzzles, a step or big roll thing. She was a bit older though at just over a year. They also used what we had and the only thing they suggested we get was a little stool for her to sit on.
When dd2 had it the therapist brought an old cell phone and played her videos (I was so annoyed). I think he brought a toy once and rarely used what we had although there were tons accessible. She was maybe 8 months and at first I would just set up a cushy knit blanket over the foam squares.
