When your OT life collides with your inner kid... and you end up walking down the street with a scooter board like it’s a skateboard. 🛹😎
Getting some very strange looks? Check. But hey, this little beauty isn’t just for fun—it’s a key tool in Ayres Sensory Integration! 🙌
Whether it’s for balance, coordination, or working on those proprioceptive senses, this scooter board helps us get seriously creative in therapy. 🤸‍♀️✨
So, strange looks? Worth it. 😜 Southpaw UK

PS: Channeling my inner Marty McFly... just waiting for a hoverboard to appear any second now. 🛸😂

🧩✨ NEW WALL ART ✨🧩
We’re excited to share the latest addition to our therapy centre: a beautiful jigsaw‑themed wall artwork that also doubles up as a pinboard for all the creative ideas our OTs come up with. It’s more than just decoration—each piece is a reminder that even when things feel fragmented, they can still come together in meaningful ways.
We’re all excited to have a little more colour, depth, and hope in our centre. You’re never alone in putting the pieces together. 💙

🫂 On Thursday, I sponsored a debate in Parliament on the Adoption and Special Guardianship Support Fund.

Following the debate, ITV News Meridian covered why the Fund matters to the most vulnerable of children and their families.

Thank you to adoptive mum, Rachel, and Dominic, Director of Jigsaw OT in Burgess Hill, for joining me in Westminster on this important day.

🧩 Did you catch us on the news yesterday? 📺
In one of the most powerful stories shared, the emotional journey of E’s family was featured, a family who we have the pleasure of supporting. Their story sheds light on the heartbreak, struggles, and resilience of families affected by these cuts. It’s a reminder of the vital importance of ongoing support for families who have opened their hearts and homes. ❤️
🔗 Please watch and share the full stories from ITV News Meridian and BBC News. Links below. Let’s raise awareness and advocate for change — our children and families deserve better.
Special thanks to Kit Bradshaw for telling the families story and to Alison Bennett for Mid Sussex for bringing the debate to parliament.
