Emotional regulation plays a big role in behavior therapy because behavior is often how a child communicates their needs. 🀝✨

Behavior therapy supports regulation by teaching functional skills like coping strategies, communication, and flexible responses. Predictable routines and clear expectations help children feel safe, while co-regulation and modeling support them through challenging moments.

The goal is not to stop behavior. The goal is to build the skills that help children manage emotions and respond more independently over time. πŸ’›

Today’s strategy: PARALLEL TALK πŸ—£οΈβœ¨
AKA: narrating what the child is doing in the moment

β€œYou’re going to listen to his heart.”
β€œWhat are you gonna check? His temperature!”

Why it works:
βœ”οΈ builds vocabulary
βœ”οΈ models sentences
βœ”οΈ supports comprehension
βœ”οΈ encourages spontaneous language

A child may demonstrate a skill with their therapist before it shows up at home, school, or in the community. This is a normal part of learning, not a lack of progress. πŸ’™πŸ§ πŸ€βœ¨

Carryover depends on regulation, consistency, and opportunity. A child needs to feel safe, supported, and have repeated chances to practice skills in meaningful situations.

This is why therapists collaborate with families and teachers. When everyone uses similar language, expectations, and supports, skills are more likely to stick.

This is not about perfect shoe tying. It is about giving a child the time, support, and confidence to try something hard on their own. Supporting activities of daily living helps build independence through everyday moments like this. πŸ‘Ÿβœ¨πŸ’™

Regulation looks different for every child. Some children need movement to feel organized. Some need predictability and structure. Others need language supports to understand what is happening and what comes next.

This is why regulation comes first in therapy. When the nervous system feels safe, learning becomes possible. Regulation is not the reward. It is the foundation. πŸ’™πŸ§ βœ¨

The goal might look simple, but how we get there is anything but. Following directions is not just about listening. It is about regulation, understanding language, motor planning, and consistency. That is why collaboration across OT, ABA, and ST makes such a difference. πŸ’™βœ¨πŸ€

Tracing is often seen as a simple pre writing activity, but it works on much more than staying inside the lines.

Tracing helps develop
β€’ Visual motor integration
β€’ Hand eye coordination
β€’ Fine motor control
β€’ Pencil grasp and pressure control
β€’ Directionality and spatial awareness
β€’ Motor planning
β€’ Postural stability and endurance

For some kids, tracing is supportive and builds confidence. For others, it can be frustrating if the foundational skills are not there yet. That is why tracing is most effective when it is paired with movement, strengthening, and hands on play. βœοΈπŸ’›

What looks like play is actually building everyday skills. It’s about learning how to manage everyday routines like meals, using utensils, and handling food safely. Practicing these skills in a supportive setting helps make real life moments feel more familiar and doable later on πŸ½οΈβœ‚οΈ

Communication comes before clarity. πŸ’›

When children are learning to talk, their goal is to convey their message, not to sound perfect. Early speech often includes approximations, simplified words, or unclear sounds because the motor and language systems are still developing.

This is a normal part of speech development. Clarity improves over time with strong language models, repetition, and meaningful interaction. Focusing on the message first helps children stay confident and motivated to communicate.

Snapping into s clusters 🐊✨

Using alligator alphabet toys as visual cues to target consonant cluster reduction with s blends. Visual supports help highlight the missing sound, increase awareness of the full cluster, and support accurate production over time.
