Hey OTPs 👋
As we head into the new year, we’re focusing on two high-impact areas that matter deeply to clients and caregivers: mobility and memory support.

To support this, we created two free resources:
✔️ New Year Mobility Guide - https://www.asksamie.com/pages/mobility-support-guide
✔️ New Year Dementia Guide - https://www.asksamie.com/pages/dementia-support-guide

These guides are a great example of how you can add value beyond sessions — by educating, empowering, and supporting clients proactively. They’re also strong inspiration if you’ve been thinking about creating your own guides, programs, or resources as part of your OT business.

Take a look, use them with clients, and share them freely if you think they’ll help someone start the year safer and more confident.

Building value-first resources is how OTs lead — and how trust is built long before a crisis happens.

Everyday Tasks Solved Simply – Occupational therapist–approved adaptive equipment, accessibility solutions, and caregiver resources. Find OT advice, home modifications, and local services for any disability or aging in place.

When you visit aging family this holiday season, small changes can tell you a lot.

Struggling to move around the house, skipping favorite outfits because dressing feels harder, or missing parts of conversations due to vision or hearing changes are all signs that extra support may help.

The good news is that simple, OT-approved tools can make a big difference — from mobility supports and dressing aids to hearing and vision solutions that bring confidence back into daily life.

If you notice any of these signs, the holidays are a perfect time to give a gift that truly helps.

🎄 It’s Almost the Season Of… (OT Edition)

1. Helping loved ones navigate crowded holiday spaces safely (Those holiday markets were not designed with mobility in mind.)

2. Making sure the Christmas tree is secure so it doesn't become a fall risk (Festive and functional!)

3. Finding adaptive ways for everyone to decorate, bake, and celebrate (Because participation is the real holiday magic 🤩)

4. Teaching family members proper body mechanics before someone lifts a big gift box the wrong way (Low back pain is not on anyone’s wish list.)

5. Choosing gifts that truly support independence (Adaptive utensils vs. another pair of fuzzy socks.)

6. Creating calm routines for loved ones overwhelmed by noise, lights, and visitors (Sensory regulation doesn’t take holiday breaks!)

7. Helping caregivers find a moment to breathe between traditions (Hot cocoa + five minutes alone = therapy.)

8. Navigating holiday travel with wheelchairs, walkers, meds, and schedules (You deserve a medal. Seriously.)

9. Simplifying holiday tasks so everyone can take part (Because joy happens when people feel included.)

10. Reminding families that asking for help is not a weakness, it’s a gift to everyone (Teamwork makes the dream work!)

11. Preserving meaningful traditions in new, adaptive ways (There's always more than one way to get the job done.)

12. Celebrating every small win (Therapy that gets someone back into their holidays with the people they love is the best part of the year!)
