Little skills = big wins!

Many of the skills children learn in occupational therapy may seem small, but they make a big difference in everyday life.

Skills like:

• Buttoning a shirt.
• Holding a spoon.
• Using scissors.
• Managing sensory input.
• Playing with peers.

These everyday milestones help children build confidence and independence as they grow. During Occupational Therapy Awareness Month, we’re celebrating the many ways occupational therapists help children reach these important moments.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our recent family workshop with The NoCo Autism Connection!

We love seeing our local community recognized. 💚💛

The Occupational Therapy program at Colorado State University was recently ranked #1 in the nation by U.S. News & World Report, which is an incredible achievement and a reflection of the strength of OT education right here in Colorado.

We’re proud to have team members who are CSU graduates and bring that same level of dedication and care into the work they do with
children and families every day.

✨ Meet Danielle Ripsam, OTR ✨

This month for Occupational Awareness Month, we’re highlighting the meaningful impact occupational therapists have in helping children build independence and confidence in their everyday lives.

Danielle was first drawn to occupational therapy because of its unique blend of science, creativity and compassion, and the opportunity to make a real difference while incorporating play into her work.

What she loves most now is building long-term relationships with the children and families she serves. It’s a privilege to walk alongside them through both challenges and celebrations, supporting caregivers and recognizing the progress happening every day.

One area she’s especially passionate about is helping children expand the foods they feel comfortable eating. For children with very limited diets, even small steps forward can make a big difference, creating more ease at mealtimes, increasing confidence in social settings and opening the door to new everyday experiences.

At OASIS, occupational therapy is about more than milestones, it’s about helping children and families thrive.

Many parents have questions after completing the Ages & Stages Questionnaire (ASQ) developmental screening.

What do the results mean? What should you do next?

In our latest blog, we explain how to understand your child’s developmental screening results and what steps you may consider next.

Your child’s ASQ results gives you information to guide your next steps. Screenings are meant to empower families, not label children.
