As a parent of a child with a neurodisability, I'm always looking for ways to make therapy more effective and meaningful, and the concept of the "six Fs" really resonated with me.
What I loved most was how practical the F-words are. They remind us to consider the bigger picture when setting goals – not just focusing on physical achievements like walking, but also on things like function (what will this skill help my child DO in their daily life?), friends (how will this goal impact their social interactions?), and family (how will this affect our family dynamic and routines?).
It's so easy to get caught up in the day-to-day, but the F-words really encourage us to think long-term and make choices that support our child's overall well-being.
And can we talk about fun? It doesn't have to be all giggles and rainbows all the time, but finding ways to make therapy engaging and motivating is crucial. As we pointed out, seeing our kids content and willing to participate is a HUGE win!
The F-words really are a fantastic tool for any parent navigating the world of therapy.
