This is brought to you by Ms. Tonia, COTA at the Albertville clinic!🧸🪁

✨My favorite OT toy/activity has to
be the tong and pompom jar!✨
It's always a hit with the kids - definitely a fan favorite in our clinic!💜
This simple little activity keeps kids engaged while working on so many important skills: fine motor, visual motor, grasp strength, color recognition, turn-taking, counting, following directions, sharing, finger isolation, and pincer grasp, and more!🙌🏼
The best part? It's homemade! If you don't have one yet, I highly recommend making your own - fun, easy, and full of skill-building potential!🎨💪🏼

❤️🤍💙Happy Veterans Day❤️🤍💙

Sunny Horizons would like to thank the veterans who have served in the United States military. We would especially like to thank one of our own, Garrett Dees, speech therapist at the Albertville clinic!

Garrett comes from a family of U.S. Army veterans, and says he “always felt a sense of duty to serve as well”. He enlisted in the United States Marine Corps right out of high school, and served in the Marine Corps for 4 years where he was able to build relationships and skills that will last a lifetime. While in the Marine Corps, he worked in communications and was promoted to the rank of Sergeant before honorably discharging and attending college to study Speech Pathology. Garrett says “I enjoyed serving my country while also getting to see many places I never would have otherwise”.

We are incredibly grateful for the sacrifice of the men and women who have served!🇺🇸

Our very own Hannah Hastings has been accepted into graduate school at Baylor University to begin the Master of Communication Sciences and Disorders program this January! 💚💛

Hannah shared with us her gratitude and excitement for this next chapter:

“I’m so excited to share that I have been accepted to Baylor University for graduate school, and will begin the Master of Communication Sciences and Disorders program in January 2026. I’m grateful to Sunny Horizons for giving me the opportunity to gain hands on experience the past two and half years as an SLPA. I have learned so much and grown tremendously as a developing clinician. I’m looking forward to this new chapter, as I earn my master’s degree to become a Speech Language Pathologist!”

We are thrilled for Hannah, and will be cheering her on during this adventure!📚

✨Therapy Toy Thursday✨

This week’s toy is brought to you by Ms. Anna!

The ABC Perfection Game is my favorite toy at the moment! It is a great way to target fine motor skills, visual motor skills, pre-writing/letter identification, play skills, and executive functioning. 👏🏻

My favorite thing about this toy is how easy it can be simplified or made more challenging. For example, to make the game easier, you can remove the timer and take turns identifying and placing letters into the board. Then turn the timer back on at the end to watch the letters pop!

To make the game harder, you can use the random letter side of the board with the timer on. You can also have your child only put in vowels or only put in consonants. You can also mix together the yellow and orange letters and only have your child place in one color.

There are endless ways to make this game fun, and it is the perfect activity to make the "just-right challenge" for your little one!💙

✨Lunch & Learn: Switches Edition✨

Our clinics participated in Lunch and Learns to become more knowledgeable about switches! We received an AAC grant, and were able to purchase several switches from Enabling Devices to provide more accessibility for patient communication.

What exactly are switches? What do they do?🤔

Speech, occupational, and physical therapists use AAC (augmentative and alternative communication) switches to help individuals with limited verbal or motor abilities communicate and interact with their environment. These switches provide an accessible way to control communication devices or cause and effect toys using simple movements like a hand press, finger press, etc. Speech therapists focus on using switches to support expressive communication and language development. Occupational therapists help clients develop the fine motor, sensory, and positioning skills needed to operate the switches effectively. Physical therapists assist in optimizing body positioning, movement, and access so the individual can use the switch comfortably and consistently.

We are grateful to provide more accessibility for our kiddos to communicate!👏🏻

Happy November! 🍁

If you’re looking for functional and FUN activities to do with your kiddo this November, here are five simple ideas to get you started!

🧡Place beads onto pipe cleaners to make “Turkey Feathers”, then glue them on a paper turkey (templates can be found online or you can draw your own).
🧡Use an online template or drawing of a pumpkin to finger paint with fall colors.
🧡Color, Cut, and Paste Activity: Use templates found online or draw simple shapes to color, cut, and paste together to make a turkey.
🧡Cut “fringe” from construction paper to make “Turkey Feathers”.
🧡Glue pompoms together to make a pumpkin.

All of these activities help to improve our fine motor skills! You may be asking “what are fine motor skills?” These are the coordinated movements we use with the small muscles in our fingers and hands! Writing with a pencil, cutting a piece of paper, buttoning clothes, grasping small items, opening containers, and many more tasks that we do every day are all because of our fine motor skills! ✏️

Get creative this fall by doing these or your own crafts to strengthen your kiddos hands! 🦃

With love,
Sunny Horizons OT team🤎
