We still can’t believe how privileged we are to partner with Mount Royal University School of Business!!

This was our second visit to the university for the students to understand what our occupational therapy program is all about. We ran our ADHD Program with them and let me tell you… I think our WOW program is also suited for adults!

After our session we had a question and answer period. The thoughtful questions that they have asked us have already been so valuable. Receiving this impactful feedback has really got our wheels turning!!

We are two women who developed a group ADHD program from the ground up while working full time. We are so passionate about all things ADHD and have received so much positive feedback from the families we have worked with.

This is the extra push we need to reach more kids and families !!

What a day! This day has been a year in the making when I was taking my daughter to the MRU open house. As my daughter was interested in business, we chatted with one of the marketing professors and she talked about a capstone class that involved real businesses that needed help. I said.. I have a small start up that needs marketing help! Could we be a part of your program? Fast forward to today… 💥…here we are!

A special thank you to who was our photographer and is also on the path to major in Marketing 🙌🏻

We are very hopeful that these amazing students will come up with an innovative, creative plan.

We are so excited!!!!

At the Learning Disabilities and ADHD Network Conference today!

Alberta teachers are on strike.

Kids are at home and still thrive with structure and routine.

Here is an example of a quick visual that is WORKING WONDERFULLY with our kids.

The kids are independently doing the tasks they need to do!

Why?

✅ Instructions are visual. Kids can constantly refer back what they need to do.
✅ There is choice within the schedule = MOTOVATION
✅ Work/ break schedule is excellent for the ADHD brain. Sustained attention is short mixed in with short breaks.
✅ Options for breaks do not include screens
✅ Big reward at the end for getting all the work done!

Thinking about all our wonderful teachers. We support you.

Thinking about all our families trying to help their kids.

We hope this helps 😊

Why do we make burritos?? 🌯

Heavy work is magical. It can calm you down when dysregulated or rev you up when you need a boost.

As occupational therapists, we say… When in doubt- use proprioception. Why? It is the quickest way to regulate.

It’s also fun and engaging!

This week we did partner work. The person rolling the burrito gets just as much benefit as the person in the burrito. Win- win!!

The one thing that sets us apart as practitioners treating ADHD is looking at developmental milestones and sensory motor foundations.

New research indicates that hypermobility is prevalent in both kids and adults with ADHD.

We definitely notice this in our ADHD groups as well!

Hypermobility can really get in the way of completing everyday tasks. Think about a writing task. When the fingers go beyond normal range of motion, you grip harder on the pencil and end up with a fatigued hand. The result… the child may not write as much worse, refuse to engage in written output. Then they may be labeled a “behaviour”

Some kids just do not feel right in their body and don’t know why and this may cause them to become irritable.

At WOW we focus on:

✅ Balance
✅ Proprioception
✅ Core exercises

When children and families know what is happening in their bodies, we can show them what to do to help!!

We would love to know if your ADHD child is hyper mobile?

If you want a comprehensive approach to help your child with ADHD hire an occupational therapist.

Our unique university training teaches us to look at the whole child and target where performance is breaking down.

We don’t look at ADHD symptoms as “behavioural” issue… they are UNSOLVED PROBLEMS.

We involve the child in discovering what their unsolved problems are and work on educating them about how their brain works so they can discover HOW to engage at school, with friends or tackle the boring routines at home.
