As National Occupational Therapy Month comes to a close, I couldn’t let this day pass without sharing a piece of my heart 🤍

I’ve been a COTA/L since 2013, but this journey has always been more than just a career to me — it’s deeply personal. As a mom to two children with developmental delays, I don’t just understand this path professionally… I live it every single day. I know the worries, the questions, the victories that feel huge, and the moments that can feel overwhelming. That perspective has shaped the therapist and business owner I am today.

God placed this calling on my life long before I fully understood it. Today, as the owner of Equinovate Therapy Services, I’m incredibly humbled to serve families not only as a Certified Autism Specialist and hippotherapy-trained therapist, but also with a special passion for feeding and sensory needs. Every child I meet holds a story, and it is an honor to walk alongside them and their families.

Equinovate was built on faith, compassion, and the belief that every child deserves the opportunity to thrive — and every parent deserves to feel seen, heard, and supported.

To our amazing therapists — thank you for loving these children so fiercely and showing up with your whole hearts. And to the families who trust us with your babies… thank you. There are no words big enough for that kind of trust.

Occupational therapy isn’t just what I do — it’s who I am. And I am forever grateful for the calling, even on the hard days. 💛

We love having so many options to benefit your children!

Why Flexible seating should be in every classroom ⬇️

* Honouring different sensory needs: Some students focus better when they can move, bounce, or shift position.
* Supporting self-regulation: Options like wobble stools, cushions, or floor seating allow students to find what helps them feel calm and alert.
* Promoting body awareness and core engagement: Active sitting can improve postural control and endurance for learning tasks.
* Reducing cognitive load: When the body is supported, the brain is freer to engage in learning.
* Encouraging autonomy and inclusion: Students choose what works for them.

We are celebrating our therapists for OT month!

Here is another awesome team member we just love and adore!!

I’m Hilary! I’m a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant and graduate of Baptist Health with 15+ years of experience. I’ve spent the last five years working with kids, and I truly love helping them grow, build confidence, and develop everyday skills in ways that feel natural and fun.

I enjoy bringing creativity and art into my sessions and take an intuitive, whole-child approach; meeting each child where they are and helping them feel safe, supported, and capable.

I’m so excited to be part of the team at Equinovate and to support families as we grow something really special together!

We had an amazing time today hanging out with some of the coolest kiddos at Inspire of Saline County!

A simple activity can work on so much! In this video, you can see that this particular child is working on sensory processing with input (spinning), eye hand coordination, utilizing both sides of his brain with answering before/after questions along with addition problems all while listening to EMR bilateral stimulation music which helps regulate his emotions,improves his focus and lessens anxiety on trying new activities along with resetting his nervous system to help with hyperactivity! You can also see in the video, that the therapist is explaining to him what is going on and what she is looking for! Explaining to a child why their body feels a certain way is essential to success and their understanding and participation!

Great info!

‘Heavy work’ (activities that push, pull, lift, or carry) is great for kids because it gives their bodies strong sensory input that helps them feel calm, organised, and focused.

In short:
• Improves focus & attention – helps kids settle and concentrate
• Calms the nervous system – reduces stress and overwhelm
• Builds body awareness – kids better understand where their body is in space
• Supports coordination & strength – develops muscles and motor skills
• Helps emotional regulation – useful for kids who are hyperactive or easily frustrated

That’s why things like carrying groceries, climbing, pushing a cart, or playing with resistance (like therapy putty) are often recommended!
