Lifelong Army brat here (and yes—happy retirement to our BP, FINALLY! 🎉). Fast-forward and I became an Army wife who needed a more flexible career… and also realized just how chronically underserved military families can be. Frequent moves + limited resources = kids who don’t always get the support they deserve.

So I felt pulled to create something that honored my roots and filled a real gap. 🌼
And that’s how Dandelion OT was born.

Fun fact: the dandelion is the official flower of the military child—resilient, adaptable, grows anywhere. And honestly? That symbolism fits so many kiddos with special needs and the families who love them.

Proud to serve our military community & others… and yes, we proudly offer a military discount, too. 🇺🇸💛

Movement doesn’t always mean misbehavior — it can be their way of regulating. 🧠✨

Many kids (especially boys) calm their bodies and brains by moving — not by sitting still. Next time there’s a meltdown, offer safe movement to help them reset: mini-trampoline jumps, animal walks, wall pushes, swinging, or a quick outside run.

Why this helps:

movement gives proprioceptive & vestibular input that helps the nervous system re-set — and it’s a skill they can learn instead of just being punished. If meltdowns are constant or feel unsafe, reach out to a pediatric OT for a tailored plan!

🚩 3 Red Flags Parents Often Overlook

Sometimes the little things we brush off as “quirks” can actually be signs your child could benefit from working with an Occupational Therapist.

Waitlists for therapy can be long, but the good news is you don’t need a referral to get started with me! The sooner your child is seen, the better!

Reach out today if you’ve been noticing any of these signs!

Hammering golf tees into a Styrofoam pumpkin is a fun way to build:

-fine motor skills
-hand-eye coordination
-bilateral coordination
-It also gives proprioceptive input (deep pressure) that helps kids focus and regulate while strengthening the small muscles needed for writing and everyday tasks.

Fall sensory bin:

-Fake flowers give visual and tactile input (different textures, colors, shapes).
-Fake spiders or trinkets add an element of fine motor play (searching, grasping, sorting, finding).
-Kids can dig, feel, and explore, without messy materials like rice or beans.
