We’re so excited to have these communication bracelets available for our clients this Halloween! Each bracelet includes visual supports with simple phrases like “stop,” “go,” “wait,” “trick or treat,” and “thank you” — making it easier for all children to participate and communicate confidently while trick-or-treating. 💬🍬

A huge thank-you to Gabbi Solomon
who made these for us! 💛 Your creativity and collaboration help make our community more inclusive for every child.

Please comment or message and I will arrange for pick up!

👻 Happy Halloween from all of us at Skill Builders OT Services!

Very important !

It seriously is mind blowing. I use this stat all the time when coaching teams because it’s such a powerful reminder!

And this isn’t about shaming anyone! It’s about keeping our eyes on what truly matters: consistent, rich modeling – without expectation.

So important for us to think about and share with others. 🖤

❓Why sensory bins ❓

10/09/2025

Sensory processing, executive function, and emotional regulation are deeply connected, especially in the children we see as occupational therapy providers.

When a child’s sensory system is either overwhelmed or under-stimulated, it can interfere with their ability to plan, focus, and control impulses, core components of executive functioning.

This sensory “traffic jam” can lead to frustration, shutdowns, or meltdowns, not because the child is being defiant, but because their brain is working overtime to manage input, organize thoughts, and regulate big feelings.

As OT practitioners, we support the foundation, helping kids process sensory input so they can better access higher-level thinking skills and emotional control throughout their day.
