Midline Passing

Why it helps

Work on crossing midline by passing an object between 2 or more participants. Choking risk: balloons can be a choking hazard. Stay within arm's reach, and keep them away from children who still put things in their mouths. Throw away popped balloon pieces right away.

This ball passing game can be done in groups or during a 1x1 session.

Sit back to back with the child. Make sure the child is sitting cross-legged or on their knees. While seated, pass a ball or any other object around to each other.

Make sure to switch directions after a few times.

Make sure the child is crossing the midline while passing the ball without rotating the trunk.

These activities are for home practice and don't replace the guidance of a licensed therapist.
