🌿 Meet the Therapist: Shannon 🌿

We are SO excited to welcome Shannon to our Blossom Pediatric Therapy team! Here’s a little bit about her:

📚 Education & Professional Background
Shannon earned her B.S. in Health and Exercise Science from TCNJ and her MSOT from Stockton University. She brings valuable experience from school-based settings, long-term acute care, and early intervention, giving her a strong foundation in supporting children across different stages and environments.

🎯 Therapy Approach
Shannon’s favorite part of pediatric OT is making therapy feel like play while helping children reach their developmental milestones with confidence, joy, and dignity. She has experience working with children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, ADHD, global developmental delay, sensory processing disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, and Robin Pierre syndrome. She is also currently working toward her certification in primitive reflex integration to continue expanding her expertise.

🌱 Fun Facts About Shannon
When she’s not in session, you can often find her baking something sweet—she admits both her kitchen and her therapy sessions can get a little messy sometimes! She is also a proud plant lover with 50+ plants, and believes children are just like her greenery: they thrive with the right environment, nurturing support, and a little encouragement.

We are thrilled to have Shannon on board and can’t wait for our families to meet her!

Please help us welcome her to Blossom! 🌸

One month open, and my heart is so full. What once felt like an out-of-reach dream—opening my own outpatient pediatric OT space—has become reality. I’m beyond thankful for every family who has trusted me, every child who has brought joy into this space, and every bit of support along the way 💛

Who says worksheets have to be done at the table?

✨ Did you know working on a vertical surface (like an easel, wall, or even a window!) packs in BIG developmental benefits? ✨

✅ Strengthens shoulders, arms & core
✅ Promotes proper wrist position for handwriting
✅ Builds fine motor skills & strong pencil grasp
✅ Boosts visual tracking & eye-hand coordination
✅ Encourages crossing midline & bilateral coordination

👉 Try taping that homework to a wall and watch the magic happen!

✨ Back-to-School Tips from a Pediatric OT ✨

Heading back to school is exciting, but it can also feel overwhelming for kids (and parents!). Here are a few simple ways you can help set your child up for success this school year!

👟 Practice independence — Let your child practice shoe tying, opening lunch containers, and putting on jackets to boost confidence.

📚 Set up routines early — Practice school-day routines (bedtime, morning checklist, packing backpack) a 1-2 weeks before school starts.

✏️ Fine motor warm-ups — Encourage coloring, LEGO play, or playdough squeezing to strengthen little hands for writing.

🧘 Sensory breaks — Build in time for movement (trampoline, swinging, stretching) before and after school to support regulation.

💬 Talk it out — Role play greetings, asking for help, and classroom expectations to ease social transitions.

🎯 Works on bilateral coordination (both hands working together!)
🤔 Encourages problem-solving and persistence
