🌍💚 Happy World Occupational Therapy Day! 💚🌍

Today, we join the World Federation of Occupational Therapists (WFOT) and OTs around the globe in celebrating the incredible profession that helps people of all ages live life to its fullest.

From hospitals to classrooms, homes to communities, occupational therapists work with heart, skill, and purpose to make meaningful participation possible. Whether it’s helping a child play, supporting someone’s recovery, or empowering independence after life changes, OTs bring function, connection, and hope into everyday life.

At Building Bridges Therapy Center, we celebrate every OT creating change in healthcare, education, and beyond.

Here’s to the hands, hearts, and minds that make a world of difference. 💙

“Easily distracted? Always moving? It might not be misbehavior.”
ADHD is a neurodevelopmental difference, not a lack of discipline or willpower. It affects how the brain manages attention, movement, and self-control, often showing up before age 12 and across different settings (DSM-5 TR, 2022).

Let’s replace judgment with understanding, and labels with compassion. Every child deserves to be seen beyond their symptoms, supported for their strengths, not shamed for their struggles. 💛

Today, we celebrate 4 years of Building Bridges! ✨

What started as a vision has grown into a mission fueled by compassion and collaboration for our kids and your families. For the past four years, we’ve been blessed with the opportunity to connect, empower, and journey alongside you.

This milestone wouldn’t be possible without the trust and support of our clients, partners, and the wider community. You are the true strength behind every bridge we’ve built — bridges of understanding, unity, and hope. 💙

As we celebrate this anniversary, we look back with gratitude and forward with excitement for what’s to come. Together, let’s continue building stronger connections, creating lasting impact, and shaping brighter futures.

Cheers to 4 years, and to many more ahead! 🙌

Remember:
1. Therapists and teachers should be graduates of 4- to 5- year courses and therapists should be PRC licensed. Ask your service providers if they have these.
2. An OT is different from a speech pathologist, which is also different from a SpEd tutor. They target different areas to improve the quality of life of your kids.
3. There is really a long wait list, so once you get a slot, make sure that you take that opportunity and make the most of it.
4. Don’t be afraid to ask your therapist questions about your child. If you have legitimate therapists, you should feel empowered to ask them questions, and feel confident that they will answer you accordingly. ♥️

Some centers may advertise that they target OT, speech, and SpEd goals in one session, but this should alarm you, not attract you. 🙈

There is no such thing as 3-in-1 therapy sessions because unlike coffee ☕️ , children’s neurodivergent minds are complex that it’s impossible to target all of these aspects by just one person.

Don’t let other people take advantage of the fact that there are limited professionals in your area. Remember:

We were honored to be part of the Philippine Society for Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics’ Silver Anniversary Biennial Convention, held on September 3–4, 2025 at One Ayala.

This milestone event, themed “Woven in Silver,” brought together passionate developmental pediatricians, occupational therapists, speech language pathologists, SNED teachers, parents and advocates, dedicated to supporting children’s growth and development. This collaboration symbolizes unity, commitment, and decades of weaving expertise, compassion, and collaboration into the fabric of pediatric care in the Philippines.

Here’s to 25 years of shared vision, and to continuing the journey of creating brighter, more inclusive futures for children and families. 💙
