Occupational Therapy in action ✍️💙

One of our friends was hard at work during an OT session, practicing handwriting skills while using a sensory box in between writing tasks. The sensory breaks helped support focus, regulation, and fine motor control — making it easier to return to writing with confidence.

What may look like play is actually purposeful therapy. Sensory tools are thoughtfully used to help the body and brain stay engaged, organized, and ready to learn.

In Occupational Therapy, every activity has intention — building the skills kids need for greater independence at home, at school, and in everyday life. ✨

On Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we reflect on the power of service, unity, and hope.
Dr. King’s vision reminds us that meaningful change starts with compassion—and that’s at the heart of everything we do.

Today, we encourage our community to honor his legacy through kindness, inclusion, and service—big or small, it all matters. 💙

✂️ Cutting Playdough = Big Skills! ✂️

Using scissors on playdough might look like play, but it’s actually practice for real-life cutting and fine motor skills! Activities like this help strengthen hand muscles, coordination, and confidence—so every little snip makes a big difference.

Practice makes better, and play makes it fun! 💙✨

It may look like just a tablet, but it’s a powerful voice. 💙

AAC devices are communication tools used in therapy to help children express their thoughts, needs, and feelings when spoken words are difficult. From asking for a favorite toy to saying “I need help” or “I’m happy,” these devices give children a way to connect with the world around them.

Each button pressed represents understanding.
Each message shared builds confidence.
And each success supports independence in everyday life — at home, at school, and beyond.

At APT, we believe every child deserves to be heard, in whatever way works best for them. Because communication isn’t just about words — it’s about connection. ✨

🧠 What Are Executive Functions? 🧠

Ever wondered how kids plan, focus, and manage their time? That’s all thanks to executive functions—the brain skills that help with attention, self-control, organization, and problem-solving.

Our latest blog breaks down what executive functions are, why they matter, and how therapy can support kids in strengthening these essential skills.

Check it out and learn more about helping your child thrive every day! 💙✨

Executive functions are the essential self-regulating skills that we all use every day to plan, organize, make decisions and learn from past mistakes. Kiddos rely on their executive functions for everything from taking a shower, playing with a toy, writing their name, or even eating a snack!

👅 Speech Therapy in Action! 👅

Our friend is learning a fun new skill—moving the tongue up toward the top of the nose! This helps build oral motor strength and supports clearer speech. Progress + fun = win! 💙✨

✨ Requesting bubbles = learning through fun! ✨

Bubbles are always a hit—but they’re even more exciting when they help build communication skills!

Our friend Nathan is doing an amazing job using his AAC device to tell us what he wants and needs. In ABA, we’ve been modeling how to use his device to make requests, and it’s incredible to see him starting to do this independently.

During this session, Nathan first asked for toy cars. When he learned there weren’t any in the room, he quickly problem-solved and requested bubbles instead! As soon as they came out, he was all smiles, laughter, and the best funny faces.

Moments like these remind us why we love what we do—real progress, meaningful communication, and lots of fun along the way! 💙✨

Meet Jamison! 💙✏️

He’s been working hard at an upright surface to help strengthen his arm muscles and support a better hand and wrist position—skills that are so important for coloring, drawing, and early pre-writing development.

We love seeing his confidence grow with every session! 🌟👏
