🐣💛 Toy of the Week 🐣💛

Eggs!

These simple little eggs are packed with BIG developmental benefits! From hide and seek, to matching games, to silly races, they’re the perfect way to build skills through play!

We’re cracking into activities that target speech and language, fine motor, coordination, following directions, and so much more - all while keeping everyone engaged and having fun!

Who knew eggs could do so much?! 🌈💛🐣

Spring has sprung at PTS! 🌸🐰🐣

The theme of the week is all about SPRING! We’re bringing the season to life through play based therapy! From eggs and bunnies to flowers and favorite springtime books, we’re targeting a wide range of developmental skills in fun and engaging ways!

Whether your child is working on building language, improving articulation, motor skills, strengthening direction following or supporting sensory regulation, they will be playing, exploring and learning!

Because at PTS we believe that learning and growth happens when it feels like play! 🌸🩷

🧩 Turn taking is an important social skill that helps children learn patience, cooperation, and conversation skills!

🎲 Simple games like rolling a ball, building a block tower, or playing board games give kids a fun way to practice waiting their turn and sharing the activity!

🗣️ Narrating whose turn it is helps reinforce the concept and encourages use of pronouns!

☀️Fun Fridays are here! ☀️

We had our first Fun Friday last week and it was a blast! Our group was packed with movement, creativity and connection! The first theme was bugs!

Our kids enjoyed an engaging story time 📖, played a fun group game🎲, got hands on with a colorful craft🎨, and wrapped it up with some fun gross motor play!

While we were having so much fun, we also addressed answering questions, attending to an activity, expanding utterances, vocabulary, turn taking, social skills, sensory and fine motor skills!

We are so excited for our next group on June 6th and cannot wait to see you there! Sign ups will be sent out soon! Questions? Ask your child’s therapist!
