🎉 Happy Physical Therapy Month! 🎉

We want to give a huge shoutout to our amazing physical therapist, Katelyn!

Katelyn brings so much energy, creativity, and heart to every session. She helps our kids move, play, and reach their goals — making therapy fun along the way! From first steps to big milestones, she’s there cheering them on every step of the way.

We’re so thankful for everything you do, Katelyn — North Star Peds (and our kiddos!) are so lucky to have you!

Autism has been in the news a lot lately, and with it, plenty of confusing information. Autism isn’t just a diagnosis—it’s also a neurotype, meaning a different but natural way of experiencing the world.

Families don’t have to figure it all out alone. Therapists, physicians, and educators are here to help with accurate information and support.

Most importantly: children and adults on the spectrum may interact in unique ways, but just like all of us, they seek love, kindness, and connection. 💙

👀✨ Did you know attention comes in different forms?

Kids use attention every day to learn, play, and grow. Here are a few types:
🎯 Sustained – staying with a story or game
🙉 Selective – ignoring the TV to finish homework
🤹 Divided – listening and drawing at the same time
🔍 Focused – locking in on a puzzle piece to make it fit just right
🔄 Shifting – moving from building with blocks to answering when their name is called

When any of these are tricky, kids may get frustrated with schoolwork, routines, or play. 💙

🌟 Pediatric OT and PT can help kids strengthen their attention skills in fun, engaging ways so they feel more confident and successful!

One of the hardest questions for any therapist to answer is what is occupational therapy? What does therapy look like for pediatric patients? That is because each treatment is as unique as your child. At North Star Peds, we will meet your child and family where they are at, and work with you to support your personalized goals and growth.

🌟 Occupational therapy is never one-size-fits-all.
It’s personalized, purposeful, and powerful. 💪✨

OT meets each child exactly where they are—supporting growth in a way that works for their unique strengths, challenges, and goals. 🧠🖐️❤️

Because every child deserves support that fits them. 💫
