We love using a good visual tool on repeat! Repetition aids learning.

This visual is a sea creature version of a speed-dial to help children notice and recognise what speed their body is feeling and therefore support them to problem solve what they might need to learn and play in that moment. I love having these types of visuals out on repeat during sessions and across multiple sessions to refer back as a scaffold for learning.

In Occupational Therapy we collaborate with teachers and educators to help them establish accomodations and adjustments that benefit not just one child but the whole class.

Back to school tips from an occupational therapist 🍎

06/01/2026

When feelings finally have words understanding begins. Big feelings feel a little less overwhelming, communication replaces frustration, children begin to understand themselves.

One of our fabulous occupational therapists set up an obstacle course and activity stations to help our client transition into their session this morning.

“They’re just playing” ❌
“They’re growing as they play” ✅

Sometimes as an paediatric occupational therapist I hear “it looks like you’re just playing”. The truth is my style of therapy often involves lots of play, but it’s never JUST playing. Play is the work of childhood. Play is joyful and engaging, and depending on the child and the goal it can be the most effective modality for learning and growth.

As a therapist I am never JUST playing - There’s constant assessing, co-regulating, adjusting, responding, problem solving and coaching according to the specific needs of the child and family in front of me. All of our play is specifically cultivated to promote engagement and skill development towards our client’s specific goals related to the activities they need and want to do on their daily life. So my brain is firing on all cylinders for the full 45 or 60 minutes I’m in a therapy session. AND then there’s all the work outside the session we do that you don’t see - the parent coaching, the teacher collaboration, the resource creation, research around the latest evidence base in literature, the problem solving, the note taking, and session planning.

Therapy should be fun so I love when parents, teachers and kids think that our therapy sessions are fun, but play in therapy is not JUST fun it’s also hard work!

Wobble cushions (aka Move’n’sit sit cushions) can be a helpful tool to place on a chair or the floor for a child to sit on help with increasing attention and making sitting down more bearable for children who need lots o f movement. Wobble cushions provide additional proprioceptive input (input through the muscles and joints) which sensory seekers or those undersensitive to proprioceptive input need to stay calm, alert and engaged.

A word of caution though: for children with low tone, low core strength or low balance wobble cushions can be more harm than help if used for too long at one time. This is as when their muscle endurance and balance is challenged too much it can tip the child’s nervous system towards a sense of “protection” (meaning the fight, fright, flight, freeze or fawn state of activated) rather than a sense of felt safety (which is essential for regulation and good attention).

If you’re not sure if a wobble cushion is the right fit for you child’s sensory and attention needs we recommend an individualised assessment and advice from an OT to work out the right sensory strategies and tools.
