It’s natural to want to make things easier for our kids—but sometimes, stepping in too much can hold them back from building confidence and resilience.

Instead of always “fixing” things, try being curious about what’s really going on, validate their feelings, and support small steps forward. Every challenge is a chance for growth—for both you and your child!

Spooky OT Week creations from last week in the clinic 🎃 👻

This OT Week, let’s acknowledge the creativity, compassion, and expertise that occupational therapists bring to every setting.

Whether it’s supporting a child to take their first independent steps, helping a young person navigate the challenges of school and friendships, or enabling an adult to return to meaningful work after injury or illness, OTs are there—problem-solving, adapting, and empowering.

Occupational therapists are detectives, advocates, and coaches. We see beyond the diagnosis or the difficulty, focusing on what truly matters to each person: their goals, their routines, and their sense of belonging.

We work in partnership with families, educators, and communities, always striving to break down barriers and build up confidence, skills, and independence.

Our work is grounded in evidence, but it’s our ability to listen, to be curious, and to tailor our approach that makes the difference.

To all the OTs out there—thank you for making the world more accessible, inclusive, and hopeful. And to those considering a career in OT: your journey could change lives, including your own.

Happy OT Week 2025! Let’s keep celebrating the difference we make, every day.
