When your child suddenly covers their ears or refuses certain textures, it's not defiance—it's their sensory system speaking.

At Skill Point Therapy, we use DIRFloortime to meet children where they are, turning sensory challenges into opportunities for connection.

By following your child's lead, we help them process overwhelming sensations at their own pace, building emotional regulation skills that last a lifetime.

Your child's sensory needs are unique, and so is our approach to supporting them. ✨

Let's work together! Visit https://www.skillpointtherapy.com/ or call +18134918300 to learn more about our sensory-informed approach.

Ever wonder why your child with ADHD thrives in some environments but struggles in others? 💭

As occupational therapists, we see how the right supports can make ALL the difference!

✨ For the classroom:
• Strategic seating (near the teacher, away from windows)
• Fidget tools that actually help, not distract
• Movement breaks every 20-30 minutes
• Visual schedules and timers

✨ For home:
• Consistent morning/bedtime routines
• Celebrating small wins daily
• Sensory-friendly spaces for homework
• Regular check-ins with their care team

Every child deserves to feel capable and confident. Small changes can create big shifts in focus and self-esteem. 💙

Struggling with handwriting? You're not alone.

Simple activities that actually work:

📌 Use clothespins to pick up small objects - builds pincher grip
🏖️ Trace letters in sand or shaving cream - sensory + writing practice

These small daily exercises build the muscles needed for better control. Consistency is key!

We've seen amazing progress with these techniques in our Tampa Bay therapy sessions. What's one activity your child enjoys?

Tiny hands, big leaps! 🙌 Watching your child develop fine motor skills is amazing. From grasping toys as a baby to writing their name, every step builds independence.

Every child's pace is unique, so patience is key! If you notice struggles, a chat with your pediatrician or an occupational therapist can offer great support. Early help sets them up for lasting success.

Your child was making progress. Then... nothing.

Here's what most parents don't realize:

🧩 Routine changes disrupt processing patterns
📱 Overstimulation from screens affects focus
😴 Sleep disruptions impact skill retention
🍎 Food sensitivities can trigger regression
👥 Social pressure creates shutdown responses

The good news? Small shifts at home make a huge difference.

Try this tonight:
Create a 15-minute wind-down routine with dimmed lights and the same calming activity.

Progress isn't always linear, and that's completely normal. Sometimes stepping back helps us see what our kids really need.

What changes have you noticed in your child's routine lately?

Contact us at 813-491-8300 if you need support navigating these challenges.

Did you know fidget tools aren't just toys? They're powerful focus tools!

For children with ADHD, occupational therapy offers so much more than just managing wiggles.

We help kids develop:
• Executive functioning skills
• Self-regulation techniques
• Sensory-friendly focus strategies
• Confidence in their unique abilities

Every child deserves tools that work with their brain, not against it. The right OT approach can transform frustration into success.

What focus strategies have worked for your child?
