💙 April is Occupational Therapy Month!

We’re celebrating the incredible work our Occupational Therapists and OTAs do for our patients every single day. From fine motor skills and sensory support to feeding therapy, handwriting, and more, their work helps make everyday life a little easier.

If you see one of our OT team members this month, help us show them some appreciation! 👏

If you want to bring something by to help us celebrate, you can email Ashlyn r just drop it off at the front!

Thank you volunteers for everything you do!

💥 Student Spotlight on Rachel and Madelynne 💥

We have two students who have been spending some time in the clinic with us recently. Rachel H is a student from the Ozarks Technical Community College Physical Therapy Assistant program. She is spending her final 6-week clinical with us. When she is not preparing for her exams, she enjoys coaching volleyball.

Many of you may recognize our other student, Madelynne. She was a former employee who left us to finish her master's degree with Missouri State University's Speech Language Pathology program. We are excited to welcome her back as a clinician to complete her final externship with us. When she is not at the clinic or studying, Madelynne enjoys spending time with her husband and young daughter.

Please help us make their time with us as enjoyable as possible!

At Dynamic Strides, the impact of equine therapy goes far beyond the time spent in the saddle. 🐎

While mounted activities in the arena are often what people picture, our horses and barn environment provide countless opportunities for meaningful therapy. After their ride, one of our patients helped carry equipment from their horse back to the tack room - a simple task that supports range of motion, strengthening, executive functioning, motor planning, and environmental scanning.

Every moment in the barn becomes a chance to build skills, confidence, and independence - all while caring for our incredible equine partners. 💙

It looks like Jiji and I slept the whole day away on Monday! This sunshine and good weather has been keeping us busy chasing bugs and critters outside and we are exhausted! While I am allowed inside, Jiji is still stuck out in the barn, so he's been taking advantage of the equine team's chairs in the barn to catch a little nap. I have been blessed with the cool floor in the clinic.

What have you been doing with these nice days? Are you going bug catching? Or fishing? Or are you playing in your own special way? Let us know! Maybe Jiji and I can try it out!

The Universal Exercise Unit is an incredible tool used in many of our therapy interventions, but one of its most unique benefits is how it acts as an extra set of hands for our therapists.

In this session, a patient is completing gait training with support from the cage to assist with right leg movement and alignment, while the therapist applies functional electrical stimulation to the left leg to support motor planning and control. By combining multiple therapeutic tools at once, our team can create highly targeted, effective treatment sessions, something we take great pride in providing to every patient at Dynamic Strides. 💙

Teamwork makes therapy even stronger! 💙

Co-treatment allows our PT, OT, and Speech teams to work together to support each patient’s success, whether that means improving positioning, building communication skills, or developing motor skills.

By collaborating, our therapists can meet patients where they are and help them reach their long-term goals!

This past week, The Arc of the Ozarks hosted a party for the entire staff for having one of the highest completion rates for the first quarter staff survey. I was tasked with creating some special awards for our staff. While not all of the appreciation was from me, the most important ones were...

The most comfortable lap (there were 2) - Ashley and Ashlyn
The most likely to give me extra treats - Abigail
The best snuggler - Hannah

Maybe next time EVERYONE will get an award from me.

🌱 Big things start with tiny seeds! 🌷

Patients are helping bring our flower garden back by choosing what to grow, planting seeds, and digging in the dirt. Along the way they’re practicing following directions, exploring sensory play, and learning how to care for the garden as it grows throughout the summer.

I think spring has finally sprung. There are flowers getting started, and gardens getting tilled. Horses shedding hair and warm weather staying around more.

What are you looking forward to about spring? I personally like it when the frogs come out. Did you know our pond is full of peepers in the evenings? Let me know what your favorite part of spring is!
