E-book Developed by Nationwide Network of Pediatric Therapists Educates Families on How to Use their ‘At-Home Adventure Kit’ for Childhood Development
MADISON, Wis.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#DOTCommunity—DotCom Therapy (DCT), the most comprehensive pediatric teletherapy provider, and Figgy, the ultimate playset for children, today announced a partnership to educate families on how they can utilize the Figgy play couch as a therapeutic and developmental resource at home. As part of the partnership, families who purchase The Figgy will receive access to a digital e-book that offers guidance on developmental milestones, activities for different age groups, and other advice from DotCom Therapy’s nationwide network of pediatric therapists.
“Kids have spent a lot of time at home over the past two years and lockdowns in the early days of the pandemic forced our therapists to get creative when meeting virtually with children. We found new ways to use toys and household items during therapy sessions and learned how to better support parents in everyday situations,” said Rachel Mack Robinson, President and Founder of DotCom Therapy. “The Figgy is an excellent resource for all types of developmental activities and as a company, we found a lot of synergies with Figgy around their values for blending fun and education. It made this partnership a perfect fit.”
The Figgy Developmental Playbook encapsulates many of the tips and pieces of advice DCT’s therapists developed for parents through nearly seven years of teletherapy sessions. It provides an educational resource to help parents learn how they can support their children through play by working on motor skills, problem solving, storytelling, sensory processing, and social engagements. And it shows how these activities can help children reach important communication, social/emotional, cognitive, and movement developmental milestones.
“Through its nationwide team of therapists, DotCom Therapy is a wealth of knowledge about how to help kids develop and grow. And together, we’re thrilled about how we can apply that knowledge to help parents turn playtime into a learning experience,” said Rachel Neill, Chief Executive Officer and Founder of Figgy. “The cold days of winter are here, and even though our playbook offers tips and activities parents can use year-round, now is an especially good time to start putting developmental tips to use as children spend hours on creative adventures with their Figgy.”
In addition to receiving access to the Figgy Development Playbook, parents and guardians who purchase a Figgy before February 28, 2022, will also receive a free invitation to attend a virtual Ask Me Anything event with DotCom Therapy providers focused on “Making the Most Out of Play.” The event takes place on Tuesday, March 15 at 12:00 p.m. CT.
