SunnyDays Therapy Occupational & Speech Therapy
Albertville, Chanhassen, Edina, Maple Grove, Minnetonka, Monticello, Waconia

SunnyDays Therapy was established to provide pediatric Occupational and Speech therapy to help infants, toddlers, children and young adults with a variety of diagnoses and needs achieve milestones, independence and confidence in their play, self-help, social, motor, cognitive, feeding and eating, sensory skills and speech and language skills. SunnyDays Therapy strives to help children reach their maximum potential by using a variety of techniques and approaches in a fun and motivating learning environment that is unique to each individual. After meeting you and your child, we develop a specialized treatment plan that will cater to your child's needs. Our team is trained to develop optimal teaching methods for your child based on their personality and unique needs. Goal areas that are often targeted include self care skills such as dressing, tying shoes, brushing teeth, washing face, bathing/showering, combing hair, feeding, and a variety of other self help and grooming skills. Fine motor skills are also addressed, including developing strength and coordination in hands for grasp, writing, coloring, drawing, playing, and cutting. Gross motor skills often include jumping, running, hopping, crawling, rolling, climbing, catching and throwing, and riding a tricycle or bike. Sensory integration issues are also addressed, and sensory diets may be established for your child, based on their needs. Our team understands that each child and their family is unique. Each child is different, but our years of hands-on experience has provided us with the skills and resources needed to teach your child to function at his or her most optimal level.

At SunnyDays, we’re growth-minded. We’re always trying new things—new ways to support kids, new games to motivate learning, and new techniques backed by evidence to better serve our clients. Today’s “new” is simple: trying a Bubblr flavor we’ve never had before. Big or small, new things are always an exciting exploration—and that mindset carries into everything we do.

Okay, but the real question… what’s the verdict?

Side by side, turn by turn!

While playing the fishing game, we practiced taking turns, staying engaged, and celebrating progress together.

Can you guess whose turn it is?!

I’m always amazed by the creativity our team brings into each session — finding the just-right challenge and creating a safe, supportive space for kids to explore, build confidence, and learn. 💛

During this OT session, our therapist supported a client who is working toward feeling more comfortable with outdoor play — an area that can bring anxiety for this child. Through thoughtful setup and encouragement, play became a place to practice confidence and growth.

Making speech therapy fun through pretend play!

We fed our tiger, matched colors, practiced WH-questions (what, who, where), and built categorization skills by sorting foods into groups like meat, vegetables, and fruit. Uffdah — this little one sure accomplished a lot in one session! 💛

Play-based learning keeps kids engaged while building meaningful communication skills.

While playing we practiced social skills, emotions, and turn-taking — all while having fun with finger puppets.

Let’s hit the slopes!

Through this fun winter activity, our clients worked on handwriting, fine motor skills, following directions, speech sounds, and descriptive language like red, snowy, and fast.

And let’s be honest… it’s just sooo darn cute! ❄️

Who says speech therapy has to happen at a table? 😊 Not us!!!!!
While swinging, Finnick worked on his speech sounds in between pushes — combining movement, regulation, communication and FUN! Sabrina (SLP) combined tactile, verbal and visual cues to work on sounds in his session today!

Play-based therapy helps keep kids engaged, motivated, and learning every step of the way.

❄️ Snow day fun with a purpose!

Shoveling isn’t just a winter chore — it helps kids build strength, coordination, balance, and body awareness while doing a real-life activity they can feel proud of. 💪

At SunnyDays, we love using everyday moments to help kids grow stronger, more confident, and capable — all while having fun!

❄️ Skills Supported

✔️ Strength & endurance
✔️ Coordination & balance
✔️ Body awareness (great “heavy work”)
✔️ Functional, real-life participation

It's a crowd favorite, but don't let the smile fool you....this crocodile means business!
Games like Crocodile Dentist are more than just fun — they help build important speech and occupational therapy skills like turn-taking, fine motor control, following directions, and emotional regulation.

Using play-based activities to help kids learn, grow, and stay engaged is key — because the best learning often happens through play.
