One kiddo could see all of the following (and more) in a 6 month period.

Key things to remember
😩 Appointment fatigue is real
🤯 Burnout happens to kids & parents
🥺 Seeing new doctors or health professionals can be scary and emotionally overwhelming- for kids and parents.
⛓️‍💥Breaks or mini-holidays from appointments can be helpful
🚑 Medical / Health trauma happens more than health professionals realise.

I love hearing people say this!

"Some of my best health care appointments have been with occupational therapists. I have truly felt seen with them. We talk and they have me do tests and different things as they observe me.

✍️It is truly amazing to realize all the things they see and then suggest based on the observations. They have advised me on so many things and given good tips. I have received assistive products and braces and they've helped me get my splints.

They have helped me to understand how my body works and why it is good for me to do some things a certain way." 💡
