Who knew acorns could be so smart? ๐Ÿฟ๏ธโœจ

Inside each tiny acorn is a surprise object that matches the letter on the outsideโ€”perfect for practicing letter recognition, beginning sounds, and fine motor strength!

Activities like this keep sessions hands-on, playful, and meaningful as our clients build confidence one little acorn at a time. ๐Ÿ‚๐Ÿ“š

๐Ÿค Teamwork
๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ Expressing ideas through music and conversation
๐ŸŽต Listening and responding to others
๐Ÿ’ƒ Coordinating movement in group activities

Weโ€™re incredibly proud of the joy and community this group brings each week to Embrace!

๐ŸŽƒ Halloween Intervention Spotlight! ๐ŸŽƒ

This weekโ€™s fall-themed Social Saturdays session takes us on a musical hayride! ๐Ÿ‚

Our teen and young adult social group joined together using a stretchy band to โ€œrideโ€ through the song, imagining all the sights they see along the way! ๐Ÿšœ๐ŸŽถ Using visual supports, each participant shared what they spotted on the hayride!

During this session, group members are:

๐Ÿค Building social connection โ€“ sharing ideas and listening to each other
๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ Practicing communication skills โ€“ responding to questions and making choices with visual supports
๐Ÿง  Strengthening memory and attention โ€“ recalling what peers shared
๐ŸŽต Engaging in group music-making โ€“ moving and singing together in rhythm
๐Ÿ˜Š Fostering inclusion and teamwork โ€“ supporting one another through shared play

We love seeing how music therapy helps our clients connect, communicate, and celebrate the season together! ๐Ÿ๐ŸŽƒ

Weโ€™re continuing our Down Syndrome Awareness Month celebration by spotlighting another amazing client and her incredible progress in therapy! ๐Ÿ’™

Our friend is hard at work popping bubbles โ€” but thereโ€™s a lot more happening than meets the eye! ๐ŸŽˆโœจ

She is working on:
๐Ÿซฐ Pincer grasp & fine motor control
๐Ÿ‘€ Eye tracking & visual attention
๐Ÿค Hand-over-hand support with Mom
๐ŸŽถ Coordinated movement through music

By using castanets to pop the bubbles, sheโ€™s practicing precise finger movements while also strengthening her ability to follow fast-moving objects, all with the encouragement and guidance of her biggest cheerleader, her mom. ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’•

Itโ€™s joyful, skill-building play at its best, and weโ€™re so proud of the progress sheโ€™s making each week. Stay tuned for more moments of growth and celebration next Monday!
