Theraputty is a great sensory activity that we like to use in OT sessions!

It is so versatile and can be used for:
• Sensory regulation (provides tactile input, helps with sensory processing and can help as a ‘brain break’ with focus and attention!)
• Improving motor skills (hand strength and finger coordination, warm up before handwriting tasks, work on bilateral coordination)
• Encouraging creativity and play

⭐ Examples of Theraputty Activities
• Hide small beads or buttons/toys and let the child find them
• Finger pinches (thumb-to-finger strengthening)
• Rolling into “snakes” and cutting with kid-safe scissors
• Press-and-flatten exercises
• Two-hand stretching
• Make shapes or letters for play-based learning

Empowering Kids with AAC 💬✨

Using AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) like “I want ___” visuals helps children share their choices clearly and confidently. In this session, the visuals put the child in charge — they choose what they want to do, and I happily follow their lead!
AAC is a positive, powerful tool that boosts language, reduces frustration, and gives kids real control, making therapy meaningful, engaging, and fun.

🥤🎶 OTs in Action! 🎶🥤

Here’s Jordan and Jophy showing off their coordination (and rhythm!) with a fun cup song exercise to “Soda Pop.” 🎵

Cup songs aren’t just catchy — they’re a great way to build:
🧠 Focus and attention
🤲 Bilateral coordination
💪 Motor planning and timing
🎶 And of course… teamwork and laughter!

Who knew therapy could sound this good? 😄👏

Why Visual Schedules Are a Great Tool in Therapy

Visual schedules help children understand what’s coming next by showing the steps of an activity or the day’s plan in pictures or icons.

Benefits include:
● Reduces anxiety: Knowing what to expect makes transitions smoother.

● Supports independence: Kids can follow the schedule themselves without constant reminders.

● Improves focus: Clear visual cues help keep attention on tasks.

● Builds routine: Encourages consistent participation in therapy and daily life.

Using visual schedules creates a predictable and calming environment, helping children feel more confident and engaged in their therapy journey.

Therapy tool we love
A tool we love using are whiteboards!

Whiteboards can be used as a visual schedule by drawing or writing up the plan for the session.

This can offer children what to expect in session and keep them on track!
Children can get involved as well, by getting them to picking the order of activities they want to complete. Once an activity is done, let the child check off each step!

🛣️ Behind the Scenes: Driving School! 🚗

It’s never too early to get your “driver’s license”! In our Driving School activity, children get to “drive” through fun challenges while practicing important skills for learning.

Here’s what they do:
• 🅰️ Letter matching — park in the correct spots by matching letters in order
• 💪 Core strength — scoot and steer on a scooter board
• 🚦 Traffic lights — follow different instructions: red, yellow, green!
• ✏️ License writing — finish by creating their very own license, combining fine motor skills, attention, and literacy practice

🎉 By the end, every child earns their own “driver’s license”!

👉 How would your little learner do on our Driving School course?
