Meet our tem Monday!

Hi, my name is Jenna Copeland and I’ve been with Charleston OT since August 2022. I’ve been practicing as a COTA since 2018 and have been in various different settings such as working with the geriatric population in skilled nursing facilities and home health/assisted living care with both adults and children. I love sharing my experience of living with sensory/ADHD with parents and relating to children who also might be experiencing similar things.

“We played a game in OT today!”

Games reflect behavior. Games teach us a personalized way of learning.

We worked so hard on using her pincer grasp to carefully place items on the floating carpet. When she rushed herself and placed the tokens to fast the carpet fell. When she slowed her body down and carefully placed the items on the carpet, it stayed and she completed the game!

We are so proud of her focus and determinitation!

We hear it all the time, what does Occuaprional therapy work on? Here is a little insight into what occupational therapy can address. Whether it be difficulties with self-care skill, decreased fine motor or gross motor skill or sensory processing deficits, occupational therapy addresses a wide range of skills in order to increase a child's independence with everyday functional tasks.

Is your little one struggling with hand writing or staying inside the lines while coloring?

Children can become tired of repeated activities and become hesitant to engage with the task at hand. Use the list below to excite kids with novel tasks that promote fine motor control and strength to improve their handwriting!

Can we be honest about milestones?

They can be a real source of anxiety for parents! Between listening to well-meaning advice, new updates to the CDC milestones, and comparing your child to peers, it can be frustrating knowing if your child is on track.

By two years old, your toddler is likely showing signs of dramatic increase in communication skills, pretend play, and following directions. While speech may not always be clear, your toddler should be able to functionally communicate with you.

Worried your child isn’t progressing in their communication like they should? Early intervention is KEY! Early intervention can:
📈Help your child reach milestones faster
🗣️Improve independent communication
😡Reduce frustration in children

There is no need to wait until your child is of elementary age to receive speech services. Early intervention gets your child the help they need faster. Which means you can have peace of mind!

Why should you let your kid climb up the slide?

- Core Strength: climbing up the slide helps develop core strength used to kick a ball, sit in a seat, and cross midline.

-Proprioceptive input: This is great for body awareness, promoting attention, and awareness of input coming from hands and feet,

-It’s a little risky: with supervision, they learn problem solving.

-Turn taking: Understanding that climbing up the slide is something that shouldn’t be done when other kids are going down the slide. Talk about when it is appropriate and when it is not working on an understanding of the needs of other kids and turn taking.

✨Meet Our Team ✨Meet Caitlin! ✨”Hi, I’m Caitlin, OTD, OTR/L. I have a Doctorate from Mary Baldwin University and a Bachelor’s in Special Education from the College of Charleston. I’ve been practicing for nearly 8 years, and I’ve loved spending the last 3 with Charleston OT!
During my time here, I’ve grown as a clinician through my work in both the clinic and community settings and by stepping into a leadership role as a COTA supervisor. I’ve also completed several MNRI courses, which have completely transformed how I view the nervous system and development! I use hands-on reflex integration techniques in all my sessions because I’ve seen the powerful impact it has in supporting my clients goals in OT- helping regulate the nervous system, supporting emotional regulation and sensory processing, and building the foundation for motor skills, attention, and learning.
Outside of work, you’ll find me at the beach with my husband, Andrew, and our 2-year-old son, AC, exploring the restaurant scene around Charleston, or enjoying a concert.”
