✨ Fact Friday: Sensory Processing Disorder! ✨
Did you know SPD affects how the brain interprets information from our senses? 👀👂🧠

People with SPD may be over-responsive, under-responsive, or even crave sensory input — and each experience can look completely different. From difficulty with certain textures to bumping into things or feeling overwhelmed by noise, SPD can impact daily life in big ways.

Occupational therapy can help by building routines, strategies, and sensory tools that support regulation and confidence. 🌟💛
Understanding SPD is one step closer to creating more inclusive and sensory-friendly spaces for everyone. 🌍✨

3️⃣ Trim the top off a balloon.
4️⃣ Stretch the balloon over the open end of the cup, knot centered.
5️⃣ Drop pom poms inside, pull back on the knot, and LAUNCH! 🚀

🌟 Great for boosting hand strength, fine motor skills, bilateral coordination, and motor planning—all while having fun!

How far will your pom poms fly? 🎯✨

Happy movement Monday!🌈😊⭐️

Get moving, get giggling, and see who can find the sneakiest hiding spot! Whether you’re behind the couch, under a table, or tucked behind a tree, it’s all about having fun and staying active. Ready or not… let the laughs begin! 🏃‍♀️🌿🎉

🏃‍♂️ Physiotherapy Benefits:
• Encourages running, crawling, climbing, and squatting to build strength and endurance
• Improves balance and coordination while navigating different hiding spots
• Boosts overall mobility in a playful, low-pressure way

👐 Occupational Therapy Benefits:
• Supports body awareness and spatial understanding
• Builds problem-solving skills as kids plan their hiding and seeking strategies
• Encourages fine motor skills as they open doors, move objects, and explore their environment

🗣️ Speech-Language Pathology Benefits:
• Creates opportunities for vocabulary growth (locations, actions, describing words!)
• Promotes social communication—turn-taking, calling out “ready or not!”, and sharing clues
• Encourages expressive and receptive language as players give and follow directions

✨ Fact Friday: Neuroplasticity! ✨
Did you know your brain is constantly rewiring itself? 🧠💡

Neuroplasticity allows us to learn, grow, and recover by forming new neural pathways. This incredible ability is also what makes occupational therapy so powerful in helping people regain skills after injury or illness.

Whether it’s improving memory, boosting attention, or rebuilding strength, your brain is always adapting. 🌱✨Keep learning, keep trying—your brain is listening! 💪🧠

🐸💚 Happy We Play Wednesday! 💚🐸

This week, we’re crafting jumping frogs! This simple and playful activity is a great way for kids to get creative while working on important developmental skills.

🎨 Why we love this craft:
Making jumping frogs supports fine motor coordination, scissor skills, and bilateral coordination (using both hands together). Kids also practice planning and sequencing as they follow the steps — all while having fun and watching their frog leap!

🧩 You’ll need:
- 1 empty toilet paper roll
- A pair of scissors ✂️
- Decorations like markers, googly eyes, or stickers

🖐️ How to make your frog:
1️⃣ Cut thin, vertical strips on both sides of the roll, leaving space in the center.
2️⃣ Fold the strips up and together to create a spring-like shape.
3️⃣ Flatten the top of the roll and trim off the extra paper below the legs.
4️⃣ Round the top to make your frog’s head.
5️⃣ Decorate your frog however you like!

🌟 Make it leap!
Press gently on the back of your frog and watch it jump!

This playful project encourages creativity, strengthens fine motor control, and helps kids understand how movement and pressure work together — a perfect blend of fun and learning! 💪🎨

🧠✨ Fact Friday: What is Bilateral Coordination?

Bilateral coordination is the ability to use both sides of the body together in a coordinated and organized way — an essential foundation for so many everyday tasks!

In pediatric occupational therapy, we work on bilateral coordination to support skills like:
✂️ Cutting with scissors
👕 Buttoning and dressing
🏃 Walking, running, and climbing
🎨 Drawing or colouring
🎾 Catching and throwing

There are three main types of bilateral coordination:
1️⃣ Symmetrical – both sides doing the same movement (like clapping or jumping).
2️⃣ Reciprocal – alternating movements (like walking, crawling, or pedaling).
3️⃣ Asymmetrical – both sides working together but doing different tasks (like holding paper with one hand and cutting with the other).

Strong bilateral coordination helps kids build independence, motor planning, and communication between both sides of the brain — important for success in daily living and play! 💪

🍂🍁Happy We Play Wednesday!🍁🍂

This week we are making fall leaves out of our handprints!

This activity is a fantastic way to support occupational therapy goals– strengthening hand muscles, improving coordination, and encouraging sensory exploration through touch and movement 🎨💪🏽

💀✨ Happy We Play Wednesday!

This Halloween-themed craft is more than just spooky fun — it’s a great way for kids to work on important fine motor and visual-motor skills!
By building their own skeletons with Q-tips, kids are practicing:

🖐️ Hand-eye coordination – placing pieces in the right spots
✂️ Scissor skills – cutting out the skeleton’s head or background
💪 Finger strength and control – picking up and positioning small items
🧠 Body awareness – learning about bones and how they help us move!

Try it at home:
1️⃣ Cut out a skeleton head from white paper.
2️⃣ Use Q-tips for the bones — cut or break them to make arms, legs, and ribs.
3️⃣ Glue everything down on a dark-colored background.

This playful craft helps strengthen the same small muscles used for writing, buttoning, and self-care skills — all while getting into the Halloween spirit! 👻🎨

Happy Movement Monday! ☺️

For today’s Movement Monday, we will be learning about lunges!

Lunges are a simple yet powerful movement that help build leg strength, balance, and coordination — all essential for everyday activities like running, jumping, climbing, and playing! 🧒👣

When we practice lunges, we’re working on:

✨ Lower body strength – strong legs help you move with confidence and stability.
✨ Core control – engaging stomach and back muscles for good posture and balance.
✨ Motor planning – helping you think about how to move your body smoothly from one position to another.
✨ Body awareness – improving how you understand where your body is in space.

🦵 How to Do a Lunge:

Start by standing tall with feet hip-width apart.
Take a big step forward with one leg.
Slowly bend both knees until the back knee almost touches the ground (keep the front knee over the ankle).
Push through the front foot to stand tall again.
Switch legs and repeat!

💡 Tip:
If you need extra support, hold onto a wall, chair, or your hands for balance. You can also turn it into a game — pretend to “step over puddles,” “collect treasures,” or “walk like a super hero!” 🦸‍♀️🦸‍♂️
