Happy OT Month!!
OT practitioners help patients to participate in every day occupations! We help people do the things that occupy others’ time. We help others do the things that matter most to them It’s all of the most meaningful activities a person desires and needs to participate in for daily life.

For children this may include things like doing cartwheels, riding a bike, getting dressed, writing their name, brushing their hair, or playing with friends.

YOU, OT practitioner, make a difference in the world. That difference makes a ripple of impact. Helping one person achieve a small goal effects that person’s family and everyone they are in contact with. Now multiply that wellbeing to your entire caseload.

Occupational therapy practitioners are difference makers! We literally do, as occupational therapy professionals, what matters most in this world.

Promoting the profession during the month of April is an easy way to celebrate. Use the informative graphics in this blog post and share on social media every day this month! Tag and use and !

Do you know about ARFID? Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder is a unique challenge where individuals have a limited range of accepted foods. We have had a lot of success helping kids with ARFID expand the food they will accept. There is help!

Parents, do your kiddos struggle with any of these signs associated with poor gut health? Gut health is often related to our litte one’s overall health. When the body doesn’t have enough good bacteria, bad bacteria can thrive and create a gut imbalance, which can potentially manifest into these signs if there are no other medical causes. 🦠 So, how do you balance your gut? Here are some easy ways to get started to rebalance the gut:

1️⃣ Eat slowly. Chewing your food throughly and slower helps the body digest food better to reduce GI discomfort. Slower chewing helps with swallowing less air, which can often lead to bloating.

2️⃣ Get adequate sleep every night. Studies reveal that increased total sleep time and efficiency was correlated to better microbiome diversity.*

3️⃣ Incorporate Prebiotics and Probiotic daily. Prebiotics, like those found in apples, berries, or carrots can help promote the growth of healthy bacteria in the gut. Parents love our Growing Up Prebiotics because it makes getting daily prebiotics *that* much easier - just mix into your little one’s water everyday for smoother, more regular poops 💩
