Emerge Pediatric Therapy

We were fortunate enough to gather almost our entire Emerge team last Friday for connection, brainstorming, and goal-setting together!

Teams from the Durham, Carrboro and Cary clinics joined with our Marketing, Billing and Operations teams and the insight, ideas & inspiration that came from it were so exciting. Thank you to our teams for taking this opportunity to help Emerge thrive.

We can’t wait to continue telling the story of Emerge with these sensational humans and our whole community!

There are so many things to come ☀️📖

Happy National “Make a Grilled Cheese” Day! 🧀 Our friend Mahki helped us make a rainbow grilled cheese in celebration - and yes, we all dyed our tongues in the process. (They didn’t end up quite like we planned, but sometimes that’s part of the journey!)

With this snack-tivity, we worked on bilateral coordination, as we all favor one side and sometimes can forget to use our left and right hands together. Making a grilled cheese sandwich is a great opportunity to engage with both hands to flip & pull your sandwich apart!

Cheers, friends!

Check out these three built-in-besties cheesing for National Siblings Day! 😎

Today we’re celebrating siblings and the fun, silliness, and support they provide each other.

In honor of the special occasion, we've got a new post on the Emerge Blog, and we're filing this one under our Tough Conversations series. Welcoming a new family member is such a fun and exciting time! There’s anticipation, joy, tiny outfits, and so much love. But it’s also important that we support the kiddos who are becoming an older sibling for the first time too.

In our latest blog, Katie Reese, COTA/L, is sharing tips to prepare, support, and empower your child during this special season of change.

Head to our website to read more, and happy National Siblings Day to all the families and friends growing together 💙

You know what would make this lovely Wednesday even better? A shout out to another super fantastic member of our team!! Today's Staff Spotlight is Dr. Avery Rothberg, an Occupational Therapist in our Durham Clinic. Avery inspires us with the creativity, compassion and consideration that she brings to our team. Thanks for all that you do, Avery, and the wonderful ways you do it. 💜

More about Avery ➡ Avery graduated from Duke University with her doctorate in Occupational Therapy after completing her Bachelor of Science in Psychology at Florida State University. Her inspiration for becoming a pediatric occupational therapist started very close to her heart - after seeing how OT support helped a family member as a child. During her free time, she enjoys playing tennis, spending time with her friends, and visiting her family back in Atlanta.

We're so lucky to know you, Avery! ⭐

We were going to post this yesterday but celebrating OT Appreciation Month is no foolish matter!

To our team of inspiring, creative, and dedicated Occupational Therapists,

We’re so inspired by you. You help children build confidence and independence, find joy in wins of all sizes, and your work changes families’ lives in ways that last far beyond their therapy sessions.

Thank you for the compassion you show, the problem-solving spirit you bring, and the heart you pour into every session. We couldn’t do any of this with out you - at Emerge or TEC. We are so grateful for each of you and the difference you make for our clients, their families, and each other every single day.

💛💙
