In Occupational Therapy, it's not just about the tasks—it's about building trust and connection! 💛

The most successful sessions are ones where children feel engaged, supported, and most importantly, heard. That's why we make fun a priority in every session! ✨

Why is fun so important?
✅ Fun Strengthens Relationships
✅ Fun Encourages Joint Attention
✅ Fun Supports Emotional Regulation

Therapy doesn’t have to feel like a chore—it’s a space for creativity, laughter, and connection! 🤗 Together, we work on building those skills, one playful step at a time. 💪

As April comes to a close, we pause to reflect on the importance of understanding, acceptance, and inclusion for our autistic community — not just this month, but every single day.

🌈 At Collaborative Partnerships, we are honoured to walk alongside so many incredible children and families — supporting strengths, celebrating individuality, and creating environments where every child feels safe and empowered to thrive.

🧠✨ Let’s keep learning, listening, and leading with kindness.

Autism awareness is important, but autism acceptance is essential 💛

🚌✨ After-School Unwind Tips for Neurodiverse Kiddos ✨🚌

The after-school rush can be tough—for kids and parents alike! If your child comes home overwhelmed, dysregulated, or just done with the day, you're not alone 💛

Here are some OT-approved tips to make the transition from school to home smoother for neurodiverse kids:

✅ Create a predictable routine – Use a visual schedule so your child knows what to expect once they get home.

🍎 Offer a snack and water – Many kids hold it together all day and need a refuel to reset.

🌳 Movement break first – Jump on a trampoline, swing, go for a scooter ride, or have a dance party! Regulate the body before asking for more.

🛋️ Quiet chill zone – Set up a sensory-friendly space for decompression (e.g., bean bag, weighted blanket, noise-cancelling headphones, favourite book or calming toy).

🗣️ Keep communication low-demand – Instead of “How was your day?”, try “I’m glad you’re home” or let them initiate when they’re ready.

👃 Minimise sensory overload – Dim lights, lower noise, and reduce chaos when they walk in the door.

🎨 Use special interests to connect – Let them engage in a preferred activity to ease the transition.

Every child is different—trial, error, and loads of patience are part of the journey ❤️
