I mean who doesn’t love Hippos right?! 😜

This is an example of using emergent literacy in practice!

This junior high student is autistic, and writing anything has felt really hard. Participating in literacy tasks? Even harder.

But when we asked him what he wanted to write about, everything changed. 🙌

With a simple plan and a topic he loved, he followed through with zero protest.

When we tap into what kids care about, we unlock engagement, confidence, and real learning. 💛

Connection first. Interests matter. That’s where the magic happens.

Prepping for tomorrow’s session with a student working on coloring skills! 🖍️

We’re focusing on staying within the lines — even when they’re bold, it can still be tricky! I’m adding some tactile feedback to help define the boundaries and give those hands extra support.

Supporting fine motor growth in creative, hands-on ways makes all the difference 💛

Big learning in Mighty Thinkers yesterday!
We had a serious talk about the size of the problem and how our reactions can match it. Growing minds, growing self-control. So proud of these kids. 💙

So excited to be working with an awesome group of autistic junior high boys this year! 🙌

We’re diving into social thinking, building strong group rules, and learning how to create and follow a group plan together.

After a year of bullying, tough language, low motivation, and struggles with connection… it’s time to reset the vibe. ✨

A little OT magic + a lot of teamwork = building a classroom where everyone feels safe, connected, and part of something bigger. 💛

September printing ➡️ This weeks Valentine’s Day joke activity

Printing can be hard. Letter size, spacing, formation, pencil pressure are just a few things we need to think about!
This Grade 3 kiddo has worked incredibly hard to build her confidence and skills. Now she’s rocking a Valentine’s Day joke activity like a champ 💌✏️. My cup is FULL seeing this growth!

A simple visual clock can turn “How much longer?” into independence and follow-through.

We love the Google extension Thinking Time Tracker to break tasks into clear phases:

🟡 Yellow = Get Ready
What do I need to start?

🟢 Green = Do
This is my working time.

🔴 Red = Done
Finish up, hand it in, clean up.

It pairs perfectly with the Get Ready, Do, Done strategy and helps build executive functioning skills in a concrete, visual way.

So proud of this kiddo who has been working so hard to make his printing more legible! He has made so much progress in a just a few months. Printing is hard work! We need to think about letter size, formation, pencil pressure, spelling, and of course putting our thoughts into words.
With OT support, kids can learn strategies to help with printing while having fun!
These moments of growth are why I love what I do.

Expected: eyes on the speaker Vs: Unexpected: selfies mid-instruction 📸😅

Explanation:
When we talk about expected and unexpected behaviors, we’re looking at how our actions affect others around us. In this moment, listening helps the group feel respected and keeps things running smoothly (creating others to have comfortable thoughts about us)
Getting distracted by a phone might be fun, but it’s unexpected because it takes attention away from the task (and causes some uncomfortable thoughts in our peers).

👉 Comment below: what unexpected behaviors caused you to have some uncomfortable thoughts?!

Weekly planning ✏️✨

I work with a lot of kiddos who love numbers—and for many of them, number sense isn’t just a strength… it’s regulating ❤️

This activity was created to support a Grade 1 student who loves ordering numbers by helping him participate in patterning during math class. I’ll model to his team how he can create an AB pattern while ordering numbers—an activity he already enjoys!

Using strength-based practice and tapping into what motivates children to learn is at the heart of what we do here at Mighty OTs 💪🧠
