Jessica,
It really depends on your priorities. Do you want to focus on walking or object perception? The Little Room teaches children about the world around them. It introduces objects to them and gives them the opportunity to interact with those objects teaching them how to open, grasp, close, drop, release, reach etc. Some things to consider with the HOPSI. Do you have a track from which to use the HOPSI? Would she use it every day? How is her head control? Does she like being in an upright position? In my room, I use the Little Rooms the most, but it really depends on which she would tolerate the best and enjoy the most. I don't think that I am being much help. Maybe some other parents have some thoughts on this subject. We would like to hear from your perspective what works best for you. Take Care Diane
Hi Everyone
First I have to say Thank you so much Diane for allowing me and
Karleena to come and check out your active learning classroom. It was
very motivating for us! We have finally got some money to spend on a
few active learning things. My problem is I can not decided what to
get? I had already started filling out the order form for a HOPSA
dress and all the parts as well as an esseffs board and some of the
FIELa curriculum stuff. As I am filling this out I started debating
if we should just get a Little Room. As you all know she does have
something like a Little Room but we would like to eventually get the
real thing! Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
We have all been doing good and Karleena is really enjoying her
homemade little room as well as the resonance board. She has been
sick a couple of times this winter but nothing too bad. We started
the new year off with no nursing! It has been a nice change.
Karleena got to go to Disneyland and she met Mickey, it was really
cute! I have heard from Karleena's Braille teacher there might be an
active learning play group this spring at a parents house. Hope so!
Take Care
Jessica and Karleena
