🌳If I was taking my child to OT, my choice would definitely be a clinic with a hammock I could lay in, rather than a hard chair in the waiting room 😉

🌳No lie, I have legit had a parent fall asleep in one of my OT sessions (not the one pictured in this photo). It actually didn’t bother me one bit, I considered it really positive feedback. If my clinic space provides an environment where their nervous system feels safe enough to fall asleep, I nailed it. Because the deal is, the majority of my parents need rest for their nervous system. If you have spent even 1 minute with special needs parents, you are fully aware that these super humans are on overdrive 99% of their day.

🌳In all seriousness though, parents are always welcome in OT sessions, lying in the hammock or anywhere else.

🌳They are also welcome to walk the trail as a reset.

🌳They are also welcome to stay in their car and get work done.

🌳They are also welcome to take a nap. ❤️

🌳I feel strongly that I am not just here to support the child, I’m here to support the family unit.

✝️Today marks Ash Wednesday, which for the Christian calendar marks the beginning of Lent. It often marks a season of people giving up things leading up to Easter.

✨Heading into this season of Lent, I wanted to share with y’all something I jotted down in my sermon notes when I had the pleasure of hearing preach last week.

God’s job is outcomes
Our job is obedience
God’s job is fruitfulness
Our job is faithfulness

✨Goodness when I heard him say that, it penetrated my soul. This is exactly the sanctification that the Holy Spirit has worked in and through me in my work with special needs families as a pediatric occupational therapist.

✨Through MUCH refining, the Lord taught me that my main job is to be obedient and faithful in that work He has called me into. The minute I focus on outcomes and fruitfulness, the whole ship starts to sink. Why? Because outcomes and fruitfulness are not my job! They belong to the Lord and the surrender of my heart to that is EXACTLY what the Lord wants.

➡️To the special needs family, caring day in and day out for your sweet child through doctor, therapy, and medical appointment, maybe this is exactly what you needed to hear this morning. THE LORD CONTROLS THE OUTCOME. CONTINUE BEING OBEDIENT.

➡️To the therapists working deep in the trenches of the suffering and brokenness of this work, maybe this is exactly what you needed to hear this morning. THE LORD CONTROLS THE FRUITFULNESS. CONTINUE BEING FAITHFUL.

✨Not my will, but your will be done Lord.

🌳Children are a heritage from the Lord. They are fearfully and wonderfully made and their life has a plan and a purpose. We treat and care for them as such here at Nature’s Path OT. It is the heartbeat of our OT programs.

🌳We believe that children of ALL abilities can participate in meaningful occupations.

🌳We believe that relationship is the foundation of safety. When a child feels safe they thrive.

🌳We believe that the family is an integral part of the treatment program.

🌳While it’s true that my personal choice is nature based OT sessions. That’s not specifically what I am talking about here.

🌳While the mountain views are great…I’m talking about the state of the child in this photo…

➡️Free to be unapologetically a child. Period. In a society that continues to strip childhood from children at far too early ages, I want to push back against that.

🌳If I’m not creating a space where the child feels safe to be who they truly are, a child. I DON’T WANT IT.

🌳Free to be everything they were created to be 🌳
