During OT we turned these number cards into a whole-child activity:

🔹 Putting numbers in order to build early math & sequencing
🔹 Using both hands together to hold, flip, and place the cards (bilateral coordination)
🔹 Strengthening fingers and hands as we pinch and slide each card into place
🔹 Working on visual scanning/attention by finding the “next” number in the deck
🔹 Practicing waiting, turn-taking, and following directions

When learning feels like a game, our students stay engaged longer and build the motor, visual, and thinking skills they need for the classroom. 💪🏽📚

Love seeing that confidence grow with each card they place!

No shame to any family here—life is busy, mornings are rushed, groceries are expensive. But when most of a child’s lunch is chips, cookies, and candy, we often see:
• Big energy spikes… then crashes 😵‍💫
• Trouble focusing in class
• Mood swings + meltdowns
• Little tummies still feeling hungry

As an Occupational Therapist, I don’t just work on handwriting and scissors ✍🏽✂️—I also support feeding, sensory needs, and routines around food.

In OT we can help with:
✨ Picky eating and sensory food aversions
✨ Play-based exposure to new foods (no pressure tasting)
✨ Building “power lunches” with at least 1 protein + 1 fruit/veggie + 1 fun snack
✨ Visual checklists so kids can help pack a more balanced lunch
✨ Coaching for families who are overwhelmed and just need easy ideas

Imagine this tray with a few simple swaps: a string cheese instead of one chip bag, apple slices or grapes, water bottle instead of sugary drink… still kid-friendly, but better fuel for learning 💪🏽🧠

If you’d like quick, realistic lunch ideas for your child or support with picky eating, drop a 🥪 in the comments or send me a message. Let’s team up to help our little ones feel their best at school! 💛

🍁 Fall into Fine Motor Fun! 🖍️

My little OT learners got hands-on with nature during today’s OT session—exploring textures, tracing leaf outlines, and building those small muscles for handwriting success! 🍃

Activities like this spark creativity and strengthen important skills like pencil grip, bilateral coordination, and visual attention.
