kjmommy,

Welcome to NeuroTalk. Sorry to hear about your daughter's injury.

My suggestion for activities are just about anything she can do with her hands. Learning to knit or crochet, painting, coloring, brushing a pet, crafts, rug hooking, and any kind of craft that does not need serious cognitive thought to understand. Playing card games that do not require memory challenges can be good.

The focus is two things. Low cognitive and memory challenges and slow process or movement. Limited visual and audio stimulation is also important.

If she is going to sit quietly, it can be calming if she has something soft for her hands. A soft plush stuffed animal can be soothing. If she is fidgety, try to find soft clothes for her to wear. She may struggle with very minor tactile sensations like a collar tag.

Helping her reduce any kind of stimulation, whether visual, audio, or tactile will help her relax and heal.

If she has any specific symptoms, let us know. There are lots of good ideas hear.

My best to you.
