✨ Why OTs Recommend Trying a Transitional Toy or Object ✨

Transitions can be challenging—switching from one activity, place, or routine can be hard for anyone.

Try using a transition toy or object!

A transition toy (or object) is a familiar, comforting item a child uses to help move from one activity, place, or routine to another, helping a child feel safe, calm, and prepared during change.

Some Examples May Include:

- A small stuffed animal 🧸
- A favorite toy or figurine toy🚂
- A fidget or sensory item🎵
- A small object from home 🔑

It is a supportive tool that can help your child to navigate change successfully.

If transitions continue to be challenging, our occupational therapists can help! ❤️

Team meetings are important to best support your child and here are some reasons why:

1- Prioritize treatment goals. Team meetings allow for the creation of the most appropriate treatment recommendations for your child.

2- Working in a team allows us to get to know your child even better. Each provider has their own areas of focus, and through team meetings we share, collaborate and brainstorm ways to best maximize your child’s therapy!

3- Ultimately the team approach will improve the efficiency and the quality of your child’s care!
