Single leg balance might look simple, but it plays a powerful role in therapy 🀍✨

Leila is working hard in this single leg balance position, building strength, stability and body awareness through play 🧠πŸ’ͺ Standing on one foot while reaching challenges her core, hips, knees and ankles, while also supporting postural control and coordination πŸ€Έβ€β™€οΈ The raised surface encourages small adjustments, helping her body and brain work together to stay balanced and confident 🌟

Let’s take a look inside Emily’s OT session, putting those skills in action πŸ’ΈπŸ³βœοΈ

Emily is getting school holiday ready by building her money and planning skills in a hands on OT session with Katya. 😊

From choosing a recipe and writing it step by step, to working out how much each ingredient costs and calculating the total budget for the shops, this session is all about independence and confidence. πŸ₯£ These everyday activities help teenagers practise planning, problem-solving, maths, organisation and decision-making in ways that actually matter to them. ✨🌈

Because learning works best when it connects to real life and real goals. πŸ’›
