Upside down & loving it ๐Ÿ’ซ

At Pediatric POST, weโ€™re reflex-informed and nervous-system focused.

The Moro (startle) reflex is present at birth and typically integrates within the first 4โ€“6 months. When children continue to show heightened startle or stress responses, it can impact regulation, attention, and sensory processing.

In OT, we donโ€™t target reflexes in isolation โ€” we support the whole child.

Through playful, graded movement like sliding and inversion, we help build:

โœจ Body awareness
โœจ Postural control
โœจ Regulation skills
โœจ Confidence in movement

Play-based. Relationship-centered. Neuroaffirming. ๐Ÿ’›

College is a big transition โ€” for students and parents.

If youโ€™re a parent and your student seems overwhelmed, anxious, withdrawn, or just not like themselves, extra support can help.

And if youโ€™re a student reading this โ€” high school or college โ€” itโ€™s okay if this season feels heavier than you expected. You donโ€™t have to handle it alone.

Scott Smith, LCSW, supports students navigating:

โœ” Anxiety & panic
โœ” Academic stress & burnout
โœ” Relationship & roommate conflict
โœ” Life transitions & identity
โœ” Family pressure

โœ” In-person or virtual
โœ” Confidential & judgment-free
โœ” BCBS PPO accepted

Whether youโ€™re the one worrying or the one feeling overwhelmed โ€” weโ€™re here. ๐Ÿค
