Happy OT Month! Occupations are everyday activities that people engage in individually, with their family, or with their community that occupy time and bring meaning and purpose to their life. Pediatric OT focuses on helping children develop the skills they need to grow into independent adults. Areas of occupation include eating, education, play, social participation, and sleep!

Hey Friends! Check out yesterday’s Twin Tuesday (and a few from previous week’s). This is a fun, unique opportunity for kids to get excited about picking their clothes! During the day, our kiddos will have a chance to use visual skills to identify who is matching who, not just with colors but prints/patterns as well!

Today we read The Monster at the End of this Book

Hey Friends - Today we kicked off the GET SCHOOLED Program! We introduced ourselves by discussing an "All About Me" page.

Swinging into the weekend! See you Monday!
