🎉 THERAPY THURSDAY: CHELSIE'S FAVORITES! 🎉

Our COTA Chelsie is sharing her go-to therapy tools! Her picks are colorful, engaging, and perfect for building multiple skills at once. From pop tubes and building toys that strengthen little hands to therapy balls for core strength and balance, Chelsie's favorites cover sensory needs, fine motor skills, and gross motor development.

Every item encourages active play while targeting important developmental goals. These are the kinds of toys that keep kids engaged - and work great at home too!

Happy world, occupational therapy day to all the OT's out there, but especially our wonderful occupational therapy team at A Step Ahead❤️💛💙

Today is ! 🌍

Established in 2010 by the World Federation of Occupational Therapists (WFOT), World OT Day elevates the visibility of our profession's development work and promotes WFOT's activities locally, nationally, and internationally. This year's theme is 'Occupational Therapy in Action'—celebrating how OTs worldwide help people engage in meaningful activities and participation every single day.

At AOTF, we're proud to support WFOT's commitment to representing our profession on the global stage. We're so excited to connect with OT professionals from around the world at the WFOT Congress in Bangkok, Thailand in Winter 2026!
