Let’s build a fort!

Heavy work + creativity = the perfect combo ✨

But first… you must remove the weighted balls on top, untie the handles, lift or drag the mats, and then get creative and build!

This activity is packed with heavy work to support regulation, coordination, fine and gross motor skills, problem-solving, and imaginative play —all while having fun! 🌟

Eating and gaining weight is one of the most important “jobs” a child does—but for many children, it can also be one of the most complex.

Mealtimes require coordination of sensory processing, oral-motor skills, posture, attention, and emotional regulation. When any of these areas are challenging, eating can feel overwhelming.

Occupational therapy can help!

OTs look beyond “picky eating” to understand the underlying skills that support safe, successful feeding and healthy growth.

Through play-based, child-led strategies, we gradually build comfort with new foods, strengthen oral-motor skills, support sensory regulation, and create positive mealtime experiences!
