reboot ep 5 : games

In this episode of PT Confessionals, Wes and Corinne take a trip down memory lane to talk about childhood games—the ones we played, the ones we couldn’t, and the creative ways we made things work. For kids, play isn’t just about having fun—it’s about belonging, independence, and learning how to navigate the world. Wes shares his experiences growing up with cerebral palsy and how some traditional games weren’t always built with accessibility in mind. From adapting playground games to discovering his own ways to compete, he reflects on the challenges of feeling included and the joy of finding games that worked for him. Corinne offers insight on the role of play in therapy, how movement-based games help with development, and why inclusive play spaces are so important. They also discuss how gaming has evolved—from physical games to video games—and how technology has helped bridge some gaps in accessibility while still leaving room for improvement. Plus, they explore the emotional side of childhood games, from the frustration of being left out to the victories of proving people wrong. Whether you grew up dominating the playground, getting creative with house rules, or struggling to find a way to join in, this episode is a nostalgic and honest look at how childhood games shape more than just our memories—they shape our confidence and identity.
