The doctor is in! 🥼🩺
Today we turned our therapy room into a doctor's office. Our little doctor-in-training worked on:
💜Precision surgery: Improving fine motor skills
💚Prescription practice: Handwriting while "signing off" on patient charts.
💜Creative care: Working on pretend play skills

Occupational therapy rarely focuses on one thing at a time. This themed doctor session allowed us to layer multiple skills into an enjoyable session for the little ones. At Posity, we aim for children to achieve their goals and have fun at the same time!

Circle of Control 🧠🎯

The Circle of Control is a cognitive intervention strategy used to help clients manage stress and anxiety in situations that are out of their direct control. Clients can often become fixated on situations or problems they see as important, to the point where they feel ‘stuck’ focusing on them. This can lead to irritability 😤, difficulty regulating emotions, and trouble concentrating.

The Circle of Control gives clients a visual way to see how significant a situation is to them, and whether they have any control or impact on it. This can help clients recognise what is worth their time, attention, and energy, and support a shift away from a fixed mindset.

How it works: 🔍
Consider the 3 layers of the circles.

On the outer layer, we have ‘What I Can’t Control’. This includes situations or problems we have no impact on, such as the weather 🌦️, international politics 🌏, climate change, or war.

The middle layer is ‘What I Can Influence’, which includes situations where we have some impact, but the outcome isn’t fully in our hands. This might include how others treat us, what they think of us 💬, or shared plans.

The final, inner layer is ‘What I Can Control’, which includes what we have direct control over and should focus on most. This includes how we act, speak, and respond, especially when we feel upset.

🎨 Squish, Roll, Create — Playdough Day in OT!

Today our therapy room turned into a Playdough Studio, and our little creators worked on:

🖐️ Strong fingers
Rolling, pinching, squeezing, and flattening to build hand strength and coordination.

✂️ Tool time
Using cutters, rollers, and utensils to practise fine motor control and bilateral skills.

🔤 Letter & number fun
Forming shapes, letters, and numbers to support early handwriting and visual–motor skills.

🧁 Pretend play bakery
Making cupcakes, pizzas, and silly faces to build imagination, communication, and social play.

🌈 Sensory exploration
Feeling different textures, smells, and resistances to support sensory processing, body awareness, and emotional regulation.

🧠 Planning & persistence
Following simple steps, making choices, and sticking with a task from start to finish.

Occupational therapy rarely focuses on just one thing at a time.
This playdough session allowed us to layer fine motor, sensory regulation, creativity, attention, and social skills into one enjoyable activity.
At OT, we help children work toward their goals — and have fun along the way!

🖐️ In-Hand Manipulation🖐️

What is it?
It is the ability to move and adjust an object within one hand.

Why is it important?
This skill is essential for everyday fine motor tasks like:
✏️ Handwriting and drawing (positioning a pencil)
👕 Doing buttons & shoelaces
✂️ Cutting (adjusting the paper)

Have you noticed if a child may:
◼️Use their other hand, chest, or the table to reposition an object
◼️Frequently drops items they’re trying to hold
◼️Have difficulty adjusting items like pencils, scissors, or coins

There are 3 types of in-hand manipulation skills:
1️⃣ Translation – moving objects from palm to fingertips (first skill learned)
2️⃣ Rotation – turning an object using the pads of the fingers
3️⃣ Shift – moving objects using only the fingertips in different movements (forwards or backwards)

Activities to help develop in-hand manipulation (all using one hand):
🪙 Picking up small objects (e.g., coins, dice, buttons) one at a time and placing them down one at a time or into a money box
✏️ Picking up a pencil and moving fingers up towards the tip and back
🃏 Flipping cards on the table one at a time

Supporting these skills help build greater fine motor control, independence, and confidence!

Dressing 🧦 👕 👟

It can be a difficult time of day for your child and the family, particularly when running late in the mornings!

Here are some tips our Occupational Therapist Amy provided to a client's family to help their child learn how to put their socks on all by themselves.

1️⃣ Use high colour contrast toe and heel socks. This helps your child to place the sock in the correct position, improving comfort and their willingness to do the task themselves.
2️⃣ Start with short and loose socks, slowly building up to longer and tighter socks. Having less material to work with will help build your child's motor skills without overwhelming them.

Follow for more tips and tricks!

School Participation 👩🏼‍🏫

Did you know that OT intervention can significantly impact a child's engagement and success in their school environment?

Occupational Therapy helps children develop essential skills, fostering confidence and capability in their learning journey. Our OTs support key areas vital for school participation, including:

Fine Motor Skills: Supporting handwriting, cutting, and other classroom-based tasks.
Sensory and Emotional Regulation: Enhancing attention, self-regulation, and social participation.
Self-Care & Independence: Building skills like managing belongings, zipping, and tying shoes.
Organisation and Routines: Developing classroom independence and structure.

Posity offers community-based occupational therapy. Our OTs provide support directly in the child's natural environments, such as schools, kindergartens, and homes. This approach is key to developing meaningful, practical, and relevant goals that are shaped by the child's daily life. Strategies are easily integrated into everyday routines, which promotes more natural progress and makes success an inherent part of the child's routine.

For example, an occupational therapy intervention, such as a pencil grip, can effectively improve a child's pencil grip. This leads to better handwriting outcomes, such as enhanced control and reduced fatigue during writing. The necessary equipment and instructions were provided to the child's classroom teacher, enabling the strategy to be implemented consistently in the classroom.

Five years, countless moments, and one incredible impact 💚💜
Today we’re celebrating Jordan and his 5-year milestone with Posity.

From the very beginning, Jordan has brought a steady presence and genuine care for the people around him. The kind of teammate who keeps things grounded and shows up consistently no matter the season.

Across the years, he’s helped shape the way we work and support one another. Backing his team, and anticipating what’s needed before it’s even said. No fuss, no need for the spotlight, just real, meaningful contribution every single day.

It’s not just what he’s done, but how he’s done it. With integrity, reliability, and a focus on what truly matters. The kind of impact that builds trust, strengthens culture, and makes a lasting difference.

Jordan, we’re incredibly grateful for the role you’ve played in our journey so far and proud to have you as part of the Posity team. Here’s to everything you’ve achieved and what’s still to come 👏
