The holidays invite us to slow down and give ourselves grace. In occupational therapy, we’re reminded daily that progress isn’t about speed; it’s about showing up, trying again, and taking one small step at a time.
𝙀𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙚𝙛𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙩 𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙨, 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙦𝙪𝙞𝙚𝙩 𝙤𝙣𝙚𝙨.

If your journey feels slow right now, please know 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱.

Pwede tayong makakuha ng 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗽𝘆 para sa ating mga ausome kids? 🧩💛

Yes — thru 𝗗𝗦𝗪𝗗, at every quarter pwede kang maka-avail.
I will not be posting here kung magkano kasi di rin same ang binibigay sa ibang lugar.

Iba-iba ang requirements per area, pero dito sa amin, eto ang mga kailangan:

1. 𝗤𝘂𝗼𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 from the therapy center kung saan nagte-therapy ang anak ninyo.

2. 𝗢𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗱𝗶𝗮𝗴𝗻𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘀 from your Developmental Pedia (pwede kahit old assessment or medical certificate). Eto lang ay titingnan ng doctor na mag-issue ng medical certificate sa barangay or city health.

Alam natin kung gaano kamahal ang therapies — minsan talaga nakakaluha at nakakakaba magbudget. Pero kahit maliit na tulong, malaking ginhawa para sa mga pamilya natin.

A meltdown isn’t a child 'losing control' on purpose.
It’s the nervous system moving into overwhelm — often because things have felt too loud, too fast, too uncertain, or too much for too long.

When we understand the phases of a meltdown, we can respond with care rather than correction.
We can spot the early signs.
We can keep connection safe.
We can help a child return to calm without shame.

Today we’re exploring the Timeline of a Meltdown— what’s happening in the brain and body, what it looks like, and how we can support at each stage. Visuals for parents/educators and child voice style for young people. For more support, see our Timeline of a Meltdown Resource Pack – link in comments below ⬇️ or Linktree Shop in Bio.

It’s far more than just a party. This structured group session is a strategic, high-fidelity simulation designed to help our child develop essential skills for navigating real-life social situations.

Through themed sensory movement activities and games, cooperative “trick-or-treating” activities, and collaborative craft creation, this actively target complex therapeutic goals:
— Practicing reciprocal social interaction
— Mastering turn-taking during high-excitement activities
— Scaffolding emotional regulation amidst overstimulating sensory inputs (costumes, varying light, and textures)
— Strengthening praxis, fine and gross motor skills necessary for successful group play.
