Our bolster swing can create some of the best opportunities for friends to swing together! Swinging already provides powerful vestibular input, but paired with peers, the kiddos can also engage in positive social play 🌟

February was filled with Valentine's Day fun for our Intensive Therapeutic Program kiddos! Our OT team loved incorporating conversation hearts into crafts. Color matching is a great way to work on visual discrimination skills, and pairing it with a fine motor task made the craft even more meaningful. We love seeing all the creative ways our team adapts activities to different themes 🩵💕

It's What to Know Wednesday! Let's talk about after school dysregulation...

Ever wonder why your child falls apart after school. This often has nothing to do with behavior, but is a reflection of a tired nervous system. Your kiddo’s nervous system (especially those with sensory processing differences) has been working hard all day. They have been sitting still, listening, managing their emotions, and being around lots of noise and people. That’s hard work for their little nervous systems.

Home is their safe place so when they get home their big feelings come out.

When they get home their nervous system might just need some time to regulate try some of these things to help:
- A snack and hydration
- 10 to 20 minutes of quiet, decompression time
- Heavy work (carrying groceries, wall pushes, animal walks, etc.)
- Lowering demands right after school

Remember regulation first and conversations later.

Our Mindful MasterChefs are better together! We not only get to celebrate the dishes we create together, but also the special moments like birthdays 🎂🎉 One of the most important things we make during sessions are the connections between friends.

Checking in with our body and learning how to communicate our own emotions is an important part of emotional regulation. Our Social Butterflies used the book "The Color Monster" by Anna Llenas to help them identify different emotions 💙💚💛❤️

To help reinforce these concepts, we integrated the Color Monster in fine activities with paint bags and lacing boards. We love incorporating many kinds of play to help our Butterflies strengthen their social skills!

It's What to Know Wednesday! Let's talk about body awareness...

Body awareness is a child’s ability to know where their body is in space even without looking and it plays a big role in daily life.

When a child bumps into furniture, uses too much (or too little) force, crashes into friends, or struggles with handwriting and dressing, it’s often not “clumsiness”—it’s their body awareness still developing.

Using play activities like animal walks, pushing a laundry baskets or a box of toys, or wall push-up or “push the wall” games. These activities give your child’s body the information it needs to feel more organized and confident. More movement leads to better body awareness and better body awareness leads to easier play, learning, and daily routines.

From practicing turn taking to establishing routine, we are using circle time a therapeutic tool. Some kiddos sit in the circle, some sit nearby, some wiggle, watch, or join in for just a moment, and we love to see all different kinds of participation!

In our OT-led circle time, we meet each child where they are at and set expectations that support their individual needs. Whether they’re singing along, listening quietly, or participating in their own way, every form of engagement is celebrated.

Our Curious Caterpillars are building foundational skills like body awareness, hand strength, and coordination! With our parrot craft, we're seeing our Caterpillars grow their fine motor skills side-by-side 💛

It's What to Know Wednesday! Let's learn about how to support your child's hand strength...

Hand strength plays a role in a lot of things children do everyday. It helps kids do things like hold a pencil, use scissors, button clothes, and open snack containers. When hand strength is still developing for kids they might tire quickly when coloring or writing, avoid fine motor tasks, or have a loose or awkward pencil grasp.

Activities like Play-Doh rolling, squeezing, and pinching, using tweezers or tongs, squeezing sponges or spray bottles, ripping paper or cardboard, building with Legos, or popping bubble wrap can all be done at home to help kids build their hand strength.

Play builds strong hands and strong hands make learning and daily tasks feel easier 💪

Same swing, but different kinds of fun 😄 Swinging offers input into your kiddo's vestibular system that is essential for building your child's foundational balance and coordination skills. We love seeing the different ways swings are utilized in our sensory gym!

Happy What to Know Wednesday! Let's learn about heavy work...

Heavy work is a great tool for little bodies. Heavy work activities use muscles and joints to give the body calming, organizing input. They can help kids feel more regulated, focused, and ready to play or learn!

These activities can help your child get the heavy work they need at home:
- Pushing a laundry basket full of toys
- Carrying groceries, books, or water bottles
- Wall push-ups or plank holds
- Animal walks
- Pulling a wagon or rolling a weighted ball
- Helping with chores like vacuuming or wiping tables

These activities can help with body awareness, calm energy, and attention, and transitions.
