✨ New year. New series. Same heart. ✨

As we wrap up this year and look ahead to what’s next, we’re excited to launch DTA Download — a new short-form video series offering a real look inside Developmental Therapy Associates.

Each episode features quick, candid conversations with the people who make DTA what it is — sharing the culture, connection, and teamwork behind the care.

We’re kicking things off with Jahlysa, one of our Front Desk Coordinators, giving a behind-the-scenes look at life at DTA and what it feels like to be part of the team.

Whether you’re reflecting on the year behind you or thinking about what you want your next chapter to look like, DTA Download is our way of starting the new year by spotlighting the people at the heart of DTA.

It's Therapy Thursday...

And we're...

Decking the Halls with Skills & Ornaments 🎄

What better way to make your child’s progress more magical and memorable than by creating handmade Christmas ornaments?

This month, our sessions have been filled with flour, salt, and so much learning! These flour salt dough ornaments have been a hit with our clients, and there’s no better Thursday to debut this festive, hands-on holiday activity ❄️✨

Want to try it at home? Here’s a simple how-to:

❄️ Ingredients

-1 cup flour (all-purpose works great — do NOT use self-rising flour)

-½ cup salt

-Water (lukewarm, ¼–½ cup — start with ¼ and add as needed)

❄️ Tools

Large bowl

Baking sheet or parchment paper

Cookie cutters

❄️ Steps

-Mix the dry ingredients together.

-Slowly add water, stirring as you go.

-Knead the dough until it has an even consistency.

-Roll the dough to about ¼ inch thick.

-Cut out your ornament shapes and remove excess dough.

-Bake at 200°F / 100°C on parchment paper.

-After 1 hour, carefully flip the ornaments and bake for another hour.

-Continue baking as needed, checking every so often until fully dry.

✨ AND… paint! ✨

This simple holiday craft is packed with therapeutic value:
✔️ Identifying holiday items
✔️ Following multi-step directions
✔️ Sequencing tasks
✔️ Fine motor skills & hand strength
✔️ Language expansion, turn-taking, and creativity

Our kiddos are truly decking the halls — proudly creating ornaments while building skills that last far beyond the holidays ❤️🎄

🎉 Signed, Sealed, and Serving 💙

Last week was one for the books! Between all the Halloween costumes, candy, and Spirit Week fun — our Winston-Salem clinic also got a major upgrade… our brand-new acrylic sign! ✨

Seeing “Developmental Therapy Associates” shining on the front of the building was the perfect way to cap off a week full of laughter, creativity, and community spirit.

From spooky fun to shiny new beginnings, we’re carrying that same energy into every session and celebration ahead. 💫

🎃 Today’s the Big Day!

Before you head out for trick-or-treating tonight, here are two quick reminders:

✨ Visuals are powerful!

Clear, supportive visuals can make Halloween more enjoyable (and less overwhelming) for little ones—especially those who benefit from visual communication or sensory support.

🧡 Inclusivity on Halloween 🎃

We’ve been practicing Trick-or-Treating with our kiddos all week, and it’s been pure magic watching their excitement grow! ✨

As families get ready for the big night, here are a few simple ways to help make Halloween more inclusive for all children:

💬 For our AAC users, take time to model and practice common Trick-or-Treat phrases ahead of time — it helps build confidence and independence.

⏰ Encourage your child to give others a little extra time to respond — everyone communicates in their own wonderful way!

🎃 And most of all, celebrate each moment of joy, connection, and creativity this season brings.

A little patience, understanding, and kindness go a long way in making Halloween a treat for everyone! 🍬🕸️

A small moment of patience and understanding can make a big difference.

Here’s to a fun, safe, and inclusive Halloween for all our little ghosts and goblins!
