Last week you might have seen how much we love play based on the creative build we posted! Another outlet for play we encourage is utilizing local parks and equipment... Our new skateboard decoration is from a fundraiser at the Waterford Skate Park and speaks to the fact we believe in outdoor play as much as we believe in play during occupational therapy! Get out there and have some fun.

What do you see in this build?

At That's Life we see the uniqueness of every child, and how their creativity and individuality can be expressed through play. Who ever thought a bunch of blocks and balance items would turn into this masterpiece!

At That’s Life Occupational Therapy Services we believe that every child and their supports should be able to develop and learn for life embracing uniqueness, individuality and ability. We strive to share our knowledge and skills with children and their adults in a way that offers skills, hope and encouragement to live each day recognizing capabilities and promoting participation fully whether at home, school or in the community. Our focus on all aspects of daily life recognizes the value of collaboration among our clinicians and the clients we support.

I love visuals to help explain…finding a match between the task and one’s state of alertness seems simple enough but this shows it’s a process requiring patience, detective working and coregulation. When we miss the mark as co-regulators, we learn ways to repair and retry and our kids grow as we go.

This is a great visual on brain breaks as a self-regulation tool.
