Grace, in true Nemo fashion, has been such a bright light on our team. It seems like just yesterday we welcomed her into the Kids In Motion Pediatric Therapy & Wellness team, and now it’s time for us to part tides.

From the moment she joined us, she brought ease, warmth, and a genuine care that our kids, families, and team felt right away. She has been a wonderful addition to our culture, and she will be deeply missed.

As she moves out of state and closer to family, we’re cheering her on in this next chapter. While it’s hard to say goodbye, we’re so grateful for the season we had with her.

No matter where the ocean takes her, she’ll always be part of the Kids In Motion family.

Her dedication to our mission to move the business forward and help families and kids succeed shows up in everything she does.

Dedicated, growth minded, and always stepping up when it matters, we’re

OT is OT, so why not just do it at school and make life easier, right? But here’s the scoop:

School-based OT is educationally driven.

It’s only provided if the child’s disability is impacting their ability to access or participate in their education. The OT’s job in this setting is to support function within the school environment, like:
• Holding a pencil to write
• Sensory supports
• Using scissors during class projects
• Organizing materials or managing transitions

It’s not about treating all developmental concerns, just the ones that interfere with educational access.

⸻

Outpatient OT is medically based.

This focuses on overall development and function, not just how the child does at school. It covers:
• Sensory processing challenges at home and in the community
• Fine motor delays that may not affect schoolwork (yet)
• Feeding concerns, dressing, toileting, self-regulation, etc.

Even if a child doesn’t qualify for school OT (because their delays don’t impact school performance enough), they might still have real functional delays that need outpatient support.

⸻

So why can’t school OT be used just for convenience?

Because it’s legally tied to educational necessity. It’s not meant to replace medical services, and schools aren’t allowed to provide therapy “just in case” or “to make life easier” even if we wish they could!
