New movements can feel hard, scary, or frustrating, but with the right support, those little moments of discomfort can lead to BIG milestones. ✨

No need to rush the process, it’s about meeting your little one where they are, build trust, and celebrate every brave attempt along the way.

THERAPY in SCHOOL vs in a CLINIC, what’s the Difference??

Outpatient OT & PT:
Focuses on improving skills, strength, coordination, mobility, and independence in a clinic or therapy setting. Treatment is individualized to the child’s specific needs.

School-Based OT & PT:
Focuses on helping a child access and participate in their education. Therapy supports skills needed for the school environment, such as navigating the classroom, participating in PE, handwriting, or using school equipment.

✨ The key difference:
OUTPATIENT therapy focuses on overall functional development, while SCHOOL-BASED therapy focuses on educational access and participation.

Both play an important role in helping CHILDREN THRIVE! 💪🌟💚

“You can’t stop me now”

Ever see a wonky crawl, where the baby leads with just one side 🙋🏼‍♀️

This is typically from tightness in the hips and/or trunk and can be resolved with
💚 stretching
💚 purposeful play on tummy
💚 reaching for feet on back
💚 playing on all fours with support

With a little help, the wonky crawl turns into a steady cruise on all fours and there’s no stopping it 💨

Just Cruisin’ on two wheels 🚲

“It’s like riding a bike” we say this as if riding a bike is simple 🤯

Riding a bike requires so much more than just core strength and coordination.

Successful bike riding depends on an intact and well-integrated central nervous system, primitive reflex integration, postural control, balance, motor planning, visual skills, and timing.

If riding a bike is hard for your child, it doesn’t automatically mean they just need more practice. Sometimes the foundation skills are still developing and that’s where therapy can help. 💚

Every child develops at their own pace. Building the foundation makes the ride much smoother 🚴🏼🚴🏻‍♀️🚴🏽‍♂️
