Please welcome Tara Roughley to CTHS. She is our newest OT student.

“I have had an interest in working in healthcare since high school, but I was never exactly sure what I wanted this to look like. During my undergrad I had the opportunity to volunteer at a supervised gym for seniors and individuals with a variety of health/physical conditions. While volunteering there I realized that I really enjoyed working with people to reach their fitness goals – particularly when they had functional meaning to them, such as fulfilling roles as a parent. I started exploring different careers that may help me pursue this passion and came across OT - thanks to some guidance from friends I had that were already in the program, I realized this was definitely the path I wanted to take. I value the holistic and functional approach that OTs take, as well as the collaboration with clients for goals that are important to them.”-Tara Roughley

Welcome to our new office manager/ OTA Adriana Barnia-Plazzotta.

While Erin is off on maternity leave Adriana will be filling her shoes.

I enjoy being an Occupational Therapy Assistant because it allows me to support people in regaining independence and improving their quality of life in meaningful, practical ways. I’m especially drawn to the hands-on, client-centered nature of the work, where every day brings new challenges and opportunities to make a difference. Outside of work, my interests help shape who I am as a person and a professional. I love dancing salsa, which keeps me active, creative, and connected to others, and I enjoy skiing, which challenges me physically and mentally while allowing me to appreciate the outdoors. I also love traveling, especially to warm destinations, where I can relax, explore new cultures, and recharge. These hobbies reflect my appreciation for movement, balance, and well-being—values that align closely with my role as an OTA.

Let’s hop into spring with some movement fun 🐰
These playful challenges build core strength, balance, and coordination — all essential for posture, attention, and everyday movement skills.
• Flower Path Walk: Cut out paper flowers and place them in a line or zig-zag path. Walk heel-to-toe along the flowers without “falling off.”
• Bunny Hops: Hop from one paper egg to another. Count your hops or time how fast you can go!
• Raindrop Catch: Toss soft balls (“raindrops”) into a basket while standing on one foot.
• Puddle Jumps: Tape blue paper “puddles” on the floor — jump with both feet, skip, or leap over them.
• Windy Balance Challenge: Use a lightweight scarf or tissue — can you keep it in the air while standing on one foot or doing a balance pose?
Encourage kids to create their own course or add a timer for extra fun!

Spring is here — which means new weather, new clothes, and sometimes new sensory challenges! 🌦️👕

For kids who are sensitive to clothing textures or changes in routine, shifting from cozy winter gear to lighter spring clothes can be tricky.
Here are a few OT-approved tips to make the transition smoother:
1) Utilize deep pressure and/or vibration strategies- try incorporating before dressing (this can also be used once the clothes are on to help regulate).
2) Introduce dressing during play- introduce new clothing pieces into pretend play, dress a doll or stuffed animal first, try ABCya! Dress for the weather online game.
3) Start introducing new clothes gradually- put on new clothing items for a minute or two to start and work your way up.
4) Use familiar layers- keep one safe clothing item (like a soft undershirt or leggings) underneath new spring clothes.
5) Wash new clothes a few times to soften them
6) Offer choices- give two options that meet the weather needs when possible to reduce sensory overwhelm.
