🎃 Pumpkin Seeds & Big Steps 🍂
This week, our therapists tapped into the strong rapport they’ve built with one of our kiddos—and his love for all things fall—to support some incredible progress in session.

Using pumpkins as a fun and motivating tool, he took big steps by engaging with his peers and proudly sharing the pumpkin seeds he helped prepare. 🌟

Moments like these remind us how connection and creativity can spark meaningful progress. 💛

💛 Supporting emotional regulation starts with accessibility. 💛

Coping strategies are tools that help children manage big feelings in safe, healthy ways like deep breathing, movement, music, or sensory play. 🎶🧘‍♂️🧸

At our center, we create personalized coping strategy kits, simple zip bags filled with each child’s favorite tools to make these strategies easy to access when they’re needed most. 🌈✨

These kits empower children to independently choose what helps them feel calm, focused, and supported.
