Handwriting matters! I love this quote in the article below by Dr. Professor Purnell, “Your pen is a cognitive gym,” Professor Purnell concluded. “If we want students to think critically and retain what they learn, we should put the pen back in their hands.”

If you think your child needs help with their handwriting, I'm here to help! Let's get them on track. Summer is a great time to focus on handwriting!

Occupational Therapists are a vital part of the team of healthcare providers serving children with Autism. As this article mentions, since ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) can affect a child’s ability to participate fully in everyday routines, occupational therapy often plays a key role in helping children build independence and confidence.

Forgot to mention it earlier, but Happy Autism Awareness Month to you as well!

April marks both Autism Awareness Month and Occupational Therapy Month – a fitting pairing, since occupational therapy (OT) is often an important component of care for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

Occupational therapy is being provided to people with Parkinson's Disease through dancing. Dancing improves balance, combats stiffness and rigidity. It also improves coordination spatial awareness and well-being.

I love how Occupational Therapists think outside the box! Occupational Therapy is truly a creative, holistic and evidence based profession.

The Department of Occupational Therapy collaborates with the School of Music, Theatre and Dance and the Center on Healthy Aging to pursue projects with the local community to benefit people living with Parkinson’s disease.
