I am still in the process of getting all the paperwork and recommendations for my 7 year old son. However, I was thinking of purchasing some toys and tools for home to help him now. He has motor planning issues, auditory discrimination issues, visual tracking issues among other things.

I was thinking of buying a balance board or stilts. Has anyone found either of these helpful?

I have heard games like Battleship might be good for visual tracking, auditory discrimination. He LOVES boardgames. Any suggestions?

He is having trouble reading and writing due to the visual/ auditory issues. Again, anyone know of any games/ tools that they have found helpful? His OT at school has tried colored filters which seem to be helping, so I'll try those too.

Any and all suggestions are welcome.

Thanks,

-Hope

I should also mention that we live in an apartment building and have no backyard, so whatever I get has to be 'downstairs neighbor friendly'.
