Camp Hope

Recognize this, anyone?

Today I used this, one of my favorite movies, in therapy! Awesome.

How did I do this? Well, one of the things under the umbrella of speech therapy is working on social skills, which involves reading emotions. Three of my kids (teenagers) have goals that involve reading emotions.

I've been doing different stuff with them to target this, but it's kind of tough (and boring...) without fancy programs or apps. So an idea hatched in my brain as I watched this section of Heavyweights:

For those of you less familiar with this movie than I am (which, if you've watched it less than 100 times you are- I really like it, okay?) this is the part where Tony's introducing himself to the camp.

So many emotions. Just look at Jerry! Also, can you believe that guy to the right is him now?! What?? Looks like the Perkisystem really works.

It was great fun for me, hopefully the kids enjoyed it as well!
