It’s our first day back, and the season of giving is clearly not over 🍎💜

We feel incredibly grateful every time we receive pasalubong and gifts from the children and families we work with. Since December, we’ve been blessed with so many thoughtful presents—and today, on our very first day back, a parent surprised us with these fresh fruits: apples and mangosteen.

We know that being a parent to a child with additional needs is not easy. This makes us feel even more fortunate to work alongside parents and families who collaborate so closely with us and are so generous in so many ways.

Whenever families gift us something, we receive it with deep appreciation. It’s not just the gift itself, but the time, thought, and resources they chose to share with us. Moments like these remind us how meaningful and rewarding it is to be part of a helping profession. Truly grateful. ✨

We were happy to welcome Teacher Cess, a third-year Occupational Therapy student, to Onwardz!

She interviewed Teacher Kaye to learn how ethics are integrated and upheld in a pediatric clinic setting.

In the Philippines, occupational therapy practitioners are guided by the PAOT (Philippine Academy of Occupational Therapy) Code of Ethics—a cornerstone of ethical, client-centered practice. It’s inspiring to see future OTs like Teacher Cess actively learn and embrace these values, which serve as essential guiding principles for meaningful, relevant, and impactful clinical practice.

What is MNRI and who can benefit from it?

MNRI posits that reflex integration is important in supporting neurological development, developing coordinated movements, improving gross and fine motor skills, and in supporting learning, attention and emotional regulation. When reflexes are not integrated, a person may unnecessarily struggle with skills that rely on higher-level brain control.

Inquire with us to learn more about the MNRI method!
