Finding the perfect combination or “sensory cocktail” of just enough input from each sense at the right time in the right away can set the child up for success to feel confident in tackling new challenges. And THAT’s the magic of occupational therapy with a sensory integration approach.
Here we have Chris who is doing multi sensory activity and has the right input for his activity. Heavy weighted blanket to calm him and feel the deep pressure, bilateral coordination writing on white board vertically, visual coordination and fine motor skills and has a tactile roller brushing on the back for extra input and this is a winner!!!
This is a huge win for classrooms!
Try it and let us know how it went!

In Speech & Language Therapy, Stage 3 narration teaches children how to tell a story using pictures - an essential step for building expressive language, sequencing, and comprehension.

As they describe what’s happening in each image, children learn to:
• organise their thoughts in the right order
• use connecting words like first, then, next, finally
• expand sentences and add detail
• develop confidence in storytelling and conversation

Narration isn’t just about pictures - it’s about helping children find their voice, share ideas, and communicate with clarity 💙

In myofunctional therapy, a straw is more than a drinking tool - it’s a way to retrain how the lips, tongue, and cheeks work together for proper breathing and swallowing.

Every intentional sip helps your child:
• keep the tongue up and back instead of forward
• build a strong, consistent lip seal
• develop a healthier swallowing pattern
• support nasal breathing, not mouth breathing

These tiny habits shape the way a child grows - from jaw development to clearer speech, better sleep, and improved focus.

🗣️ PROMPT Therapy Explained 💬

PROMPT stands for Prompts for Restructuring Oral Muscular Phonetic Targets - a specialised approach that uses gentle tactile cues on the face, lips, and jaw to guide accurate speech movements.

It’s motor speech therapy!

The therapist touches specific points on the jaw, lips, and cheeks while speaking to guide articulatory movement patterns.
Used for children with apraxia of speech, motor speech disorders, or severe articulation difficulties.

The goal? To retrain the brain’s motor pathways for clear, confident speech production💙

🫧 Messy Play, Meaningful Growth! 🫧

What looks like a fun foam-filled activity is actually a powerful Occupational Therapy tool supporting multiple areas of development🌟

🔹 Sensory Exploration:
The texture and temperature of foam provide rich tactile input, helping children learn to tolerate different sensations. This is essential for kids with sensory sensitivities who may avoid touch or certain textures.

🔹 Fine Motor & Hand Strength:
Scooping, squeezing, and swirling the foam work the small hand muscles needed for handwriting, feeding, and dressing. Every squish builds coordination and control.

🔹 Cognitive & Emotional Development:
Messy play helps with creativity, problem-solving, and self-expression, while also supporting emotional regulation - helping children stay calm and focused through sensory feedback.

So when we say “play,” we really mean therapy in disguise - where learning, regulation, and joy all come together💙

Even in the toughest moments, never give up!
We sure won’t and neither will he!!

This sweet boy has been navigating unintegrated reflexes, dysregulation, and significant movement challenges like we have used a slippery surface for him on the board and he walking right over it! No more off balancing no more slips and falls!
By focusing on purposeful sensory input, reflex integration, motor planning, and a lot of CME repetition, he’s learning how to organize his body, regulate more effectively, and move his body in a safer and more purposeful way. This is Brain reorganising this is CME!
His determination is incredible, and we couldn’t be more proud of him! Keep going!! #
