As the school year comes to an end, many children experience increased sensory overwhelm from changes in routine, testing, special events, and big emotions surrounding transitions.

What may look like “acting out” can actually be a child struggling to regulate their nervous system.

Sensory overwhelm may look like avoiding participation, covering ears or hiding, excessive movement or fidgeting, or emotional outbursts or frustration.

Understanding the “why” behind behaviors helps us respond with compassion and support.

If you’re noticing these signs in your child, North Star Pediatric Therapy is here to help.

Happy Mother’s Day from all of us at North Star Pediatric Therapy 💐

Today we celebrate every kind of mom behind the scenes doing the hard, beautiful, often unseen work each and every day.

To the moms cutting tags out of shirts, packing safe snacks, managing therapy appointments, researching late into the night, leaving events early, surviving car meltdowns, celebrating tiny wins, and loving your children fiercely through it all — we see you.

Parenting is never one-size-fits-all, and neither is the journey your family may be on. Your patience, advocacy, resilience, and unconditional love make a difference every single day, even on the days that feel exhausting or overwhelming.

Thank you for trusting us to be part of your child’s journey. We are endlessly grateful for the amazing families in our North Star community.

We hope today you feel appreciated, supported, and celebrated — because you truly deserve it.

Happy Mother’s Day! 💕

We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to collaborate with Lionheart DPC and Dr. Rutmann on such an important message for our community. Their work highlights the power of connection, regulation, and support in helping children and families thrive.

We also want to recognize the incredible colleagues across our region who continue to share their voices, knowledge, and passion for supporting children’s development. It truly takes a community working together to create meaningful change.

One message we want to emphasize again and again: early intervention matters.
Research consistently shows that the early years are a critical window for development, when a child’s brain is most adaptable and responsive to support.
When we identify challenges early and provide the right supports, we can make a lasting impact—not just for the child, but for the entire family.

If you have questions about your child’s development or are wondering if speech, occupational, or physical therapy could help, we encourage you to reach out. You don’t have to wait or figure it out alone—we’re here to help guide you.

Together, we can support children in reaching their fullest potential.

As Occupational Therapy Month comes to a close, we want to take a moment to reflect—and say thank you.

This past year has been an incredible journey for North Star Pediatric Therapy. As a new clinic, we have been welcomed, supported, and trusted by so many amazing families in our community. It is truly an honor to be part of your child’s growth, progress, and everyday victories—big and small.

We believe deeply in the message shared here: What we do here is more than a job—it’s a calling. And we feel grateful every day to do this work alongside your children.

To our families: thank you for your continued trust, your collaboration, and for allowing us to be part of your team.
To our community: thank you for supporting local, for spreading the word, and for helping us grow in our very first year.

If you’ve ever wondered whether occupational therapy could support your child—whether it’s with play, feeding, regulation, independence, or daily routines—we’re here to help. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with questions or to learn more.

Here’s to continuing to grow together.

Autism is often misunderstood — and that matters, because understanding shapes how we support our kids.

This Autism Month, we’re breaking down a few common MYTHS vs. FACTS:

At North Star Pediatric Therapy, we believe in meeting each child where they are and helping them thrive in ways that are meaningful to them and their families.

Different doesn’t mean less — it means different.

April is Occupational Therapy Month

At North Star Pediatric Therapy, we’re highlighting a key set of skills that help kids succeed every day: executive functioning

So… what is executive functioning?

Executive functioning includes the mental skills we use to:
✔️ Plan and organize
✔️ Manage time
✔️ Stay focused and remember directions
✔️ Control impulses and emotions
✔️ Start and finish tasks

These are the skills that help kids turn intentions into actions!

Why is it important?
Executive functioning impacts everything from getting ready in the morning to completing schoolwork, making friends, and becoming more independent. When these skills are strong, kids feel more confident and capable in their daily routines.

How can we build these skills?
The best part? It doesn’t require screens or video games! Hands-on, interactive play is one of the most powerful ways to strengthen executive functioning.

Try incorporating:
🎲 Board games like Scrabble, Chess, Jenga, and Sudoku
🧩 Puzzles and brainteasers
🎨 Creative games like Pictionary
⏱️ Quick-thinking challenges like the 5 Second Rule
🧍‍♀️ Movement-based games like Freeze

These types of activities help kids practice planning, flexibility, attention, self-control, and perseverance—all through play!

Occupational therapy uses meaningful, play-based activities to help children build these essential life skills.

Have questions or wondering how to support your child? We’re here to help!
