You walk into our clinic and see bubbles. We see two of the most important things we do.

1. Feelings check-in — because they can't regulate what they can't name.
2. Bubbles — because engagement is the door to everything else.

Nothing here is random. Everything has a reason.

You've seen these before.

A bingo dabber doesn't look like much.

But here's what's actually happening:

Crayons require too much pressure — the hands tire out before the skill gets trained. Markers drag and exhaust little fingers before they even finish the page.

A bingo dabber? Short. Quick. Gets the job done.

And while their hands stay fresh — their brain is working hard.

Scanning the page. Identifying shapes. Moving left to right. Top to bottom.

Every dot is building the foundation for reading. 📖

That's OT. 💙

It looks like fidgets and a big ball. It's actually a full nervous system reset.

Fidgets — because a regulated body is a ready brain.
Medicine ball — because some kids need to feel where their body ends before they can calm down.

This is what OT looks like in action.

We're growing. 🌱

Mindful OT Services is hiring a Registered Occupational Therapist to join our paediatric team in Newmarket, Ontario.

This is a part-time position (2 days/week) with a clear path to full-time by September 2026 — and a supported ramp-up period where you build your own fresh caseload from day one.

We are a small, specialized clinic. We work with neurodivergent children and youth across sensory processing, gross motor development, primitive reflex integration, adolescent life skills, and more. Our OTs don't just do sessions — they grow into leaders.

What we offer:
✔ $60–$80/hour, employee position
✔ Evenings & weekends schedule (no commute stress, better client attendance)
✔ Mentorship from a founder-clinician with deep paediatric expertise
✔ Specialty clinical exposure most clinics can't offer
✔ Full benefits, PD scholarship funding, and group program bonuses upon full-time transition

This is not the right role for everyone. It is the right role for an OT who is ready to invest in something — and have that investment returned.

Year two.
Participating again in the Temerty Faculty of Medicine's Diversity Mentorship Program at U of T.

When I was in school, I didn't have a mentor — and that stayed with me.
So I show up. To see if it makes a difference.

Time holds the answer.

“Happy Victoria Day long weekend! 🇨🇦🎆

‘He just doesn’t like drawing.’ — I hear this every week. And almost every time there’s more to the story. 🔍

Here’s what our Mindful OT standardized assessment revealed in one 4-year-old’s drawing — and why avoidance is never just a personality trait.

Two OTs. One new stamp kit. And therapy putty. 📦✨
We may have been a little too excited about this.
But here's why:
Stamping into therapy putty isn't just fun — it's purposeful.
Every press builds hand strength. Every stamp requires graded force control — knowing how hard to push and when to stop. Every design demands visual motor integration — the eyes and hands learning to work together.
It looks like an activity.
It's actually a full fine motor workout.
And the best part? They have no idea. They're just excited about the stamps.

That's the magic of OT. 🩷

Navigating a grocery store is a full sensory experience for a teen. Crowds. Decisions. Budgeting. Reading labels. Staying regulated when the environment is loud and overwhelming.

Raw meat? For many teens, it's the feeling. Cold. Wet. Slimy. Touching raw meat. Feeling a vegetable's resistance under a blade. The juice. The smell. The mess. Unpredictable textures that send the nervous system straight into avoid mode.

That's the real work happening at this cutting board — not just coordination, but sensory tolerance built slowly, safely, and without shame.

Heat. Sound. Timing. The smell. The sizzle that says "don't walk away."
This is sensory processing in real time. This is attention and impulse control in real time. This is confidence — earned, not given.

OT builds skills quietly — until one day your kid is standing at a stove, completely in control, and you realize when did that happen?

Your kid needs to touch everything. They can't concentrate. They are not being difficult.
Their nervous system is searching for input.

Sensory brushes — because if you need to touch everything, we give you something functional to touch.

That's not a distraction. That's a strategy.
💙 Jordan, OT has a few spots open — and they won't last long.
