Soft lights, deep calm.

Remember these? The Light Bright is one of our favorite gadgets in the clinic! It helps build fine motor skills, practice motor planning (praxis), and keeps play calm and regulating.

One of Tiffany’s friends made Madison and Jamie dice. 😂

Just because you can’t see someone’s neurodiverse, doesn’t mean they aren’t. If someone tells you they’re autistic, you don’t have to say “you don’t look autistic”. It can hurt the autistic person even if you meant it as a compliment. Instead you can say, “Thanks for letting me know! I didn’t know that about you”

We know a lot of families are under the weather right now, routines are off, and everyone is doing their best to keep going. Just a gentle reminder that you’re allowed to slow down, rest, and ask for support.

Whether you’re feeling okay, exhausted, sick, overwhelmed, or somewhere in between — we see you.

Heights can feel BIG for little bodies. Madison, as always, brought her magic mix of skill and fun.

Praxis is a skill that doesn’t come naturally to everyone. It makes things like handwriting, dressing, eating, and speaking take so much more effort than it does for our peers. Today, Jamie (OT) added simple dots to show the “next step,” and her friend used them beautifully to complete his drawing without getting overwhelmed!
