⋱ ― ♱ . REGRESSION ACTIVITY: PLAY PRETEND ♱
Pretend can be a lot of things! Anything you want! It can involve costumes, or props, or drawings on paper, or plushies, or your caregiver (fictional or otherwise), anything you want!
You can do it in bed, or in your yard, anywhere! Including in public, if you feel comfortable and safe. You don't need to talk to play pretend, you don't need to see or hear to play pretend. You can just imagine! And you can always share your imagination and include others.
Play mermaids in the pool with your friends. Pretend your f/o caregiver is helping you take a bath or shower. Imagine your stuffies attentively listening to you teach a class. Set up tracks for your race cars to act like you're a pit crew member or a racer yourself!
I know this one might feel like a pretty basic regression activity, but it's super helpful for all kinds of regressors! It's accessible and it can be as private as you want. Playing pretend has lots of layers and uses and ways of being done. Do what works for you.
