We wish you all a blessed Easter Sunday.

For a short time, Satan and the world system thought they had won, that Jesus was dead and His redemptive message and purpose was silenced. However, on the third day, everything changed and the truth was revealed.

Matthew 28:5-6 “And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear ye not: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here: for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.”

Jesus fulfilled the redemptive plan of salvation in full through His death, burial, and resurrection.

Romans 5:12 “Wherefore, as by one man, sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned…”
Romans 5:18 “Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life”
Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

The work has been done, the debt paid in full, victory is won, and now we each have a choice. Will you accept the gift of eternal life by believing in your heart that God raised Him from the dead and confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus?

It’s Friday.

Jesus is in custody.

Religious leaders deliver Jesus to Pilate, the governor. Each Passover, Pilate releases one prisoner to the crowd. Barabbas, a prisoner guilty of theft, insurrection and murder, is brought in.

Pilate asks the crowd who to release. Barabbas.

He asks what he should do with Jesus, they shout - Crucify him. Crucify him.

Jesus, spotless and innocent, is hung on the cross. A nail in each hand and a nail in his feet. A sign is placed above his head reading - King of the Jews.

They mock him, insult him, spit on him, pierce his side.

Hours of agony pass. Jesus cries out - Father, forgive them. Jesus, in his final moments, prays mercy over his enemies that they may come to know and believe in him.

With one final cry Jesus proclaims - it is finished.

Jesus hangs his head. He gives up the ghost. The veil of the temple is torn, top to bottom, in two.

Jesus’ body is wrapped in clean linens and placed in a tomb. The tomb is sealed with a stone.

Sin, paid for. Debt, paid for. A promise of hope, mercy, forgiveness, eternal life. Free, if we’ll just trust him. Believe in him.

It’s Friday. But Sunday is coming.

April is World Autism Month, beginning with the United Nations-sanctioned World Autism Awareness Day on April 2. This year marks the 18th annual World Autism Awareness Day. While historically called Autism Awareness Month, many organizations now emphasize "Autism Acceptance Month" to promote inclusivity, neurodiversity, and better support systems.

Key Autism Statistics in the U.S.
•Prevalence: 1 in 31 children aged 8 years.
•By Gender: Boys are nearly 4 times more likely to be diagnosed than girls (1 in 20 boys vs. 1 in 70 girls).
•Prevalence by Age: 1 in 31 (8-year-olds), 1 in 34 (4-year-olds).
•Trend: Prevalence has increased from 1 in 150 in 2000 to 1 in 31 in 2022.

Top Autism Screening Locations & Providers in Arkansas:
•Dennis Developmental Center (Little Rock): Provides developmental diagnostics and neuropsychological assessments for children.
•Schmieding Developmental Center (Springdale): Specialized evaluation services.
•The Learning Center of Northeast Arkansas (Jonesboro): Provides comprehensive diagnostic evaluations for children and adults.
•Arkansas Families First (Little Rock/Central AR): Offers specialized, detailed ASD evaluations.
•Kids Unlimited Learning Academy (Northwest AR): Provides diagnostic testing.
•Miracle Kids Success Academy (Various locations): Offers psychological testing for autism.
•The CARE clinic (Batesville): offers autism evaluations including diagnostic testing, occupational therapy evaluations, and speech therapy evaluations.

Autism early intervention includes specialized therapies (speech, occupational, physical, behavioral) for children (usually 0-3 years) to improve developmental skills, communication, and social interaction, leveraging high brain plasticity. Early intervention is key and it is important to get started as soon as possible.

Whether you’re wearing blue, red, or a rainbow of colors today, we hope you are thinking of all people and how to include everyone into your daily lives. Consider the needs of others and be loving and kind to make the world a better place today and every day. 🩷❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜

April is Occupational Therapy Month!!

Occupational therapists and occupational therapy assistants focus on the things you want and need to do in your daily life.

Pediatric occupational therapy (OT) helps children develop essential skills for daily life—such as self-care, play, and school tasks—to foster independence, confidence, and motor coordination. OTs use personalized, play-based activities to address sensory processing, fine/gross motor skills, and behavioral regulation, benefiting children with autism, developmental delays, injuries, or disabilities.

How Pediatric Therapy Works:
•Evaluation: Initial assessments include reviewing medical history, observing behavior, and testing skills.
•Treatment Settings: Therapy occurs at home, in schools, clinics, or daycares.
•An intervention plan: Unique to each child to improve the ability to perform daily activities and reach their goals.
•Methods: Sessions are often tailored to the child's interests, utilizing toys, games, and exercises.
•Collaboration: OTs and COTAs work closely with families and teachers to ensure consistency and progress.

Occupational therapy can help you participate in life activities (occupations) and provide recommendations for:
•Activities of Daily Living (ADLs): Developing self-care skills like dressing, feeding, and personal hygiene.
•Fine Motor Skills: Improving hand strength, dexterity, and handwriting for school and play.
•Sensory Processing: Helping children regulate their responses to sensory information.
•Motor Planning & Coordination: Enhancing balance and movement (gross motor).
•Social & Emotional Skills: Building skills for playing with peers, emotional regulation, and turn-taking.
•Adaptive equipment (equipment to make daily tasks easier)
•Caregiver and family training: in home, school, or other places where a child may spend most of their time.

Pediatric OT is used to assist children with a wide range of conditions, including:
•Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
•Developmental delays and motor skill deficits
•Sensory processing disorders
•Cerebral palsy
•Learning disabilities (e.g., dyslexia, dyscalculia)

The goal of this specialized care is to maximize a child's ability to participate in daily activities, building long-term success and independence.

Pediatric Therapy, Inc. offers occupational, physical, speech, and developmental therapy to children from birth to 21 years of age. We are a full-service early intervention and outpatient therapy provider with a primary clinic in Batesville, AR. We also serve clients in homes, daycares, preschools, and early head starts from Highland to Southside to Mountain View and everywhere in between.
