Parents get brushed off far too quickly.
“Sure that’s nothing.”
“He’ll grow out of it.”
“Don’t worry.”

Most of the time, that is just an easy answer instead of actually looking at what is going on.

When YOU notice your child struggling with emotions, movement, regulation, handwriting, focus, or everyday tasks, you are picking up early signs.
Parents see things long before anyone else does.

YOU are not being dramatic.
YOU are not imagining it.
YOU are actually paying attention.

We help you understand what your child is finding hard, long before things reach crisis point.
You do not need a diagnosis.
You do not need to wait.
And you do not need permission to support your child.

If you are unsure where to start, contact us and we will point you in the right direction

Parents tell us almost every week that a professional has advised them not to seek a private assessment or intervention..
Here’s the reality, our families aren’t choosing private because it’s trendy. They’re choosing it because the waitlists are years long and their child is struggling now.

Private doesn’t replace the public system. It fills the gap when a child and their parents need answers, support and clarity sooner.

If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unsure what route to take, getting the right information isn’t “jumping the queue”. It’s advocating for your child.

No pressure. Just options.

If you want to understand what an assessment or intervention actually includes, send us a message and we’ll point you in the right direction 🌻

Finally got my window signage up… only took me two years 😅

What actually pushed me to do it wasn’t my own decision — it was the fact that a few different people asked me in the space of a few weeks, “Where are you in Camlough?”

This is where I can identify with my PDA clients. For me — the second it becomes “must do”, my brain senses ANOTHER demand. But when the demand comes from the outside world in a way that actually makes sense (aka people can’t find me 😬), suddenly it feels easier.

It’s not that I didn’t want it, I’ve loved my clinic from day one. But my “must do” list is never ending. And when something makes it feel “too real” or too official, my brain hits a wall. Every time someone said “you should put your new logo in your window,” I just… couldn’t.

Now that it’s finally up, I actually feel emotional, and very proud! It’s like I’ve (we as a team) caught up with what we’ve built. Two years of graft, stress, growth, and a lot of avoiding 🤣❤️

OT Bingo Challenge: Can you tick them all off today? 🧠

These quick, play-based activities might look like fun but they’re secretly building your child’s coordination, balance, planning, strength and regulation 💪✨

💡 How to use it:
✅ Try 1–2 in the morning to boost focus and readiness.
✅ Do 1–2 in the evening to support calming before bed.

The goal isn’t to finish the board, it’s those small, consistent bursts of sensory and motor input that make the biggest difference 💫

📊 Try this: Track it for 3 days and notice the difference — then tell us which activities made mornings or evenings easier 👇

✍️ Handwriting difficulties aren’t just “messy writing”

👉 Did you know…
• Up to 25–30% of school-aged children experience handwriting difficulties (Feder & Majnemer, 2007).
• For children with DCD or neurodivergence, this rises to 50–60%.
• Research shows that if handwriting hasn’t improved by around age 9–10, difficulties are likely to persist into secondary school (Overvelde & Hulstijn, 2011).
• These challenges don’t just affect neatness — they impact speed, stamina, confidence, and access to learning.

🖊️ The good news?
Early identification and OT intervention can make a real difference. We look beyond “drills” to assess fine motor, visual-motor integration, posture, and regulation — helping children find strategies that actually work for them.

💡 If your child is struggling with handwriting, it’s not too early to check in — but it can be too late if concerns are left unaddressed.

✨ A lovely review to share this week ✨

One year ago (& 3 days) Caitlin joined the wee team at Abil-OT, and since then she’s been bringing so much skill, patience, and care to the children and families she works with. 💛

This lovely review we received this morning is a reminder of the difference the right support can make! sometimes even a small suggestion can transform tricky moments into smoother, happier days.

We’re so grateful to have Caitlin on our team, and we know lots of families are too. 🥳🎉

If you think your child could benefit from OT support, we’d love to help — just send us a message to find out more.
