I have a bean bag tic tac toe game that I use for a reacher training
activity. The grid for the game is painted on a fabric square that I place
within reach on the floor. Each bean bag has an X or an O painted on it. All
the items fit into a tote bag and I usually hold the bag for the patient t

considered as therapeutic if it's an actual goal?
Just some random questions.
Thanks,

Instead of playing a "game' which is not very functional in day to day life,
why not do functional things with it??? For example, name items in the cabinet

By the way, these are great topics for discussion and I hope others will
join in.
