How Do You Give a Thumbs Up?

July 23, 2020 by Drexelle Leave a Comment

A Thumbs up

It seems so simple.

An easy way to make someone smile.

And it’s a powerful way to communicate if you are non or minimally verbal.

When you throw in a motor planning disorder and apraxia, it can be a beast to work on: step by step, day by day.  We’ve tried occupational therapy.  I’ve tried modeling.  We tried hand over hand.

But now here’s a free social story style video that we’d like to provide for all of you other caregivers out there struggling to learn how to teach your loved ones to give a thumbs up.

Introducing our latest How-To video for all abilities: 

How to Give a Thumbs Up

May this help break down the barrier and empower your loved one to encourage and give others a smile!

A step-by-step video guide on how to give a thumbs up for toddlers, preschoolers, kids and people of all abilities!

Below is the script if you’d love to read aloud or customize to make your own story!

I love it.

Hi! Hi! Hello!

Yeah, there you go. Hi!  Hi!

My name is Knightly

and this is Cadbury.

Let’s give a thumbs up.

When I think someone or something is good, I give a thumbs up.

To give a thumbs up, I will make a fist.

Then, I lift the thumb up.

Or I can show my hands like I’m giving high fives.  

Then, I close all 4 fingers below my thumb.

1-2-3-4

I can use one hand

or two hands.

Good job!

Thanks for watching!

Goodbye!
