April showers bring May flowers...today was all about rain drops, rainbows and umbrellas, duckies in a pond and froggies on rocks and lots of indoor puddle stomping. All using our vision, proprioceptive, vestibular and interoceptive systems! Just another way OTs treat vision every day 👀🧠👂⚖️

Did you know...

Migraine (The 4 Phases)
A migraine is so much more than "just a headache." 🤯 Did you know a single attack can actually last for days?

Prodrome: The "warning" (cravings, mood shifts).

Aura: The "visuals" (flashing lights or tingling).

Attack: The "pain" (throbbing and light sensitivity).

Postdrome: The "hangover" (feeling drained and foggy).

Understanding your phases helps you catch an attack before it hits its peak.

What is Occupational Therapy (OT)?
Occupational Therapy helps people do the things they need and want to do every day.

That could mean:
• Getting dressed
• Returning to work or school
• Managing a concussion
• Improving focus, memory, or vision
• Feeling more calm and in control of your body

OT looks at the whole person—your brain, body, and environment—to help you live your life fully.

Because in today’s world… we could all use a little OT.
Less overwhelm. Better routines. Clearer thinking. More ease in daily life.

We help you improve how life feels.

✨ Happy Occupational Therapy Month! ✨

At A Rise Above Occupational Therapy Services, we celebrate the power of occupation—the meaningful activities that shape our daily lives, our identities, and our sense of purpose.

Occupational therapy is more than helping people “do tasks.”
It’s about helping people live their lives fully—with clarity, confidence, and connection.

🧠 We support the brain.
👁️ We integrate vision beyond the eyes.
🌀 We regulate the nervous system for true safety.
🏃‍♀️ We restore function across real-life environments.

Whether recovering from concussion, navigating visual overwhelm, rebuilding cognitive skills, or finding calm in a dysregulated system—our approach meets you where your brain feels safe and helps you rise above.

This month, we celebrate our patients, our team, and the profession we are passionate about.

💙 Because it’s not just about function…
It’s about your life.

Wishing everyone a wonderful holiday season- hope you all had a blessed week. We will be closed on Friday and resume appointments on Monday.

✨ A New Way to Help the Brain Feel Safe ✨

At A Rise Above Occupational Therapy Services, we’re always evolving how we support the brain, body, function, and life.

We’re excited to introduce a specialized technique—currently unique to our practice in the Lehigh Valley—designed to help the brain perceive neural safety and reduce overwhelming visual input.

When the brain feels safe, everything changes.

Our patients are reporting:
✔️ Calm
✔️ Clear
✔️ Relief
✔️ No overwhelm
✔️ Comfort
✔️ Improved focus

This isn’t about “pushing through symptoms.”
It’s about meeting the brain where it feels safe—and allowing function to build from there.

Through advanced training in remedial vision rehabilitation and a whole-person, nervous system-informed approach, we’re helping patients move from survival mode → to meaningful participation in daily life.

💡 If you or someone you know feels overwhelmed by visual environments, struggles with focus, or just “can’t explain what feels off”… there may be more going on—and there is a way forward.

This was so fun speaking with Patricia in December about remedial vision rehab and so much has happened since then! Happy to help Patricia on her mission of highlighting the incredible ways our profession is evolving and to help OTs see what’s possible beyond traditional roles. Link is in the comments...take a listen 🧡💛

This week we say goodbye to Courtney and Gianna, our 2 Level II Students from Drexel, Alicia's OTD alma mater. Meghan and Lexi have certainly set them up for success in their career as soon-to-be OT's. Best of luck to you both!

I can't even begin to tell you about the magic of these 3 items (they are plano glasses) so I will let the patients tell you:

#1: I can find the letters easier.
This is as good as the goggles!
When my eyes work better my thinking is so much better!

#2: It's single...for the first time in months.
My balance is better.

#3: I feel so much lighter in my steps.
It's definitely calmer.
My husband noticed my walking changed right away...he didn't even know what the glasses were for.

#4: My eyes feel....normal.
I can read so fast!

This is remedial vision rehab with OT...changing how the brain uses the visual system for improved occupational performance 👀🧠😍
