Transitioning away from a preferred activity is difficult. Here are some tips to help with that transition whether you are a clinician helping a client transition from a session or a parent transitioning their child. The key is to always acknowledge and validate a child's feelings with the transition. We learn so much about the child if we take a step back and ask ourselves why that transition is difficult.

Happy Mother's Day to everyone who is a mom! Moms do so much everyday for their families and let's face it, being a mom is the toughest job on Earth. On this day, remember to take care of yourself too and give yourself some selfcare on a regular basis (even if it's only 5 minutes). We need our own selfcare to help regulate, stay calm, and be more connected with our families. What's your favorite selfcare activity?

The Speed Cubers on Netflix is a short documentary not to be missed during OT and Autism Awareness Month. If you have autistic clients or are an occupational therapist, this documentary was so inspirational. It highlighted the importance of connection, supportive relationships, and intrinsic motivation when empowering an individual. This was an amazing find and learning about speed cubing was also pretty interesting. Highly recommend! Anyone else seen this? Thoughts?

Share when you are proud of your child. Often times as parents, we forget to share why we are proud of our child. From experience, I know that I tended to often tell my son how he could improve (even though he already did well) or what he might have done wrong instead of how he did something well. Sometimes, all a child needs to hear from you is that you are proud of their effort or that they were kind to someone. Those positive moments support your relationship, build the child's confidence, and encourage glimmers in ventral vagal.

The primary goal during occupational therapy sessions is all about CONNECTION and ENGAGEMENT. There are always times when a therapy session didn't go "as planned". However, if at any moment during the session, there was connectedness and engagement, that therapy session was impactful for the child because it brought their nervous system into the ventral vagal state. Follow along as we discuss more Polyvagal Theory and occupational therapy.

For one reason or another, the history of sensory integration therapy has always appeared magical. A child would go into SI therapy, looked like they were having a fun time and playing, and magically would be fixed in a few months. SI therapy has never been voodoo magic, it's always been about neuroscience and neuroplasticity. As more and more brain research continues, it's become even more fascinating to me how Ayres SI makes so much science sense with regards to development, social connection, and why it is so important to share the knowledge.

Try our Mittens Obstacle Course at home or at school. You can use all of the ideas to make an obstacle course or only one of the ideas to target a specific skill. The kids love paper plate ice skating and it works on both carpet and hard floor. To add an additional challenge to the skating task, ask the child to spin on the skates, skate backwards, or try their own idea. I even had a child ask for 4 skates and he bear crawled using the skates (I thought that was a great idea!) Have fun with this winter themed idea!!!

Intrinsic motivation and what makes a person happy is a key element to learning something new and making new neural connections. In sensory integration therapy, we tap into a child's intrinsic motivation and use that to help participate in novel activities, move their bodies, and self-regulate to create new brain connections.
