We haven’t forgotten about this Instagram account, and we haven’t folded, we’ve just been ridiculously busy!

On The Go Therapy has been hard at work doing assessments at various Edmonton Catholic Schools for students having difficulties with movement skills, handwriting, sensory processing, visual motor integration, executive functioning, and more! And with June fast approaching we’re going into intensive report writing season 📝

So we’ll continue to be short on updates for the remainder of the school year but watch out for us in July when we’ll have some exciting announcements 📣

It's Autism Acceptance Day!
If you thought it was called , you are not mistaken but many in the autism community and their allies agree we are far past awareness. Most people are aware autism exists- so our next step is accepting and celebrating the different perspectives and experiences autistic people bring to our world!

If you'd like to join in the acceptance and celebration consider checking out and donating to autistic lead not for profts like Autism Self- Advocacy Network (ASAN), Autism Canada, or Autism United; and using the hashtags and when discussing online.

Happy International Women's Day! This year's theme is because aiming for equality just isn't cutting it!

To celebrate I did what I do best, critical reflection! Occupational therapists are predominately female and that should be celebrated (especially on ) but we are also predmoniately white and middle class and that should be acknowledged and addressed.

As occupational therapists we can by supporting affirmative action policies, confronting our own biases, and working to the profession.

Occupational therapists help people do things they want and need to do, this includes hair care and hygiene but learning about hair care is not something I have even seen highlighted in conversations about occupations, or in conversations about cultural safety.

Different hair requires different care but do all occupational therapists, nurses, healthcare aides, and other front line self-care providers know how to provide this care? Using myself as an example, no. I recall the first time I had a client with self care goals and coarse and curly (3C) hair, and I realized nothing that applied to my straight fine (1A) hair was going to work for them. It was a completely different approach and if I had not learned that I could have damaged not only their hair but their sense of self and self-esteem.

“Respect your hair;” but also, respect others hair.

The history of Swimming and Black Canadians has a subtler history than our American counterparts but subtle does not mean fair and just.

A Snapshot of Swimming and Black Albertans.
1923: The Edmonton city commissioners issued an order barring Black people from using city swimming pools.
1924: The order barring Black people from using Edmonton city pools is rescinded but tensions remain with some white people refusing to share pools with black people.
1948: A private pool manager in Calgary refused entrance to a Black girl on the basis of race. He was within his legal rights to do so.
1980: Debbie Armstead is the first Black Canadian swimmer to qualify for the Olympics. Unfortunately due to Canada's boycott she was unable to compete but did compete in the 1982 FINA World Championships.
2022: Debbie Armstead remains absent from the Alberta Sports Hall of Fame

It is Black History Month!

It's a time to learn about the contributions and achievements of Black Canadians. It is also an excellent time to reflect on our place in history and how we can keep moving forward towards racial equality.

This month we will be endeavouring to do both! Follow along as we highlight achievements of Black Canadians, and also the inequalities that are still experienced (all related to occupations).

Therapy is more than a venting session: it's a chance to take control and create the life you want.

In therapy you'll typically do one to three of the following
🔶 Process your experiences
🔶 Plan your next steps
🔶 Practice skills that will help you achieve your goals

Call or email us today if you'd like more information about what to expect from therapy.
