🎄Everyone has a story.
🧘 We all have seasons of stress.
🛌 You know what I am talking about. Whether it is the sleepless nights, the food refusals, the struggle to complete handwriting, falling out of your chair, struggling to fit in with peers, or the dysregulation induced by the beautiful, yet chaotic holidays, there are times when we just don't feel like we are shining.
🥲 These are times when we may feel tired, out of touch with our body signs, easily startled or grouchy, or rigid.
👨Body signs may look different for different people- anxiety, difficulty focusing, academic struggles, not eating, fidgeting, sensory behaviors.
✨ Our specialized occupational therapy can help you own your own story, celebrate your story, and live out your story through planning, tools, and hope.
✨ Regulation changes everything.
✨ Connection changes everything.
✨ Sunny Day Therapy. It's therapy through connection! Home of Dr. Day's evidence-based Story Power Programs. A place where creativity, compassion, & connection drive all that we do. A place of safety and hope.
✨ Let us help you shine- one step at a time.

Each person’s story is unique. Some disabilities are invisible. You may not always “see” pain, lack of focus, fatigue, cognitive challenges, sensory aversion, or anxiety. We may not even notice mobility challenges in public spaces. Yet, these barriers can impact a person’s ability to participate & regulate.

We have the opportunity to build a world that celebrates the strengths and beauty of all people; we have the power to treat people with dignity all the time— when they are suffering and when they are going through challenges. We have the power to intentionally build environments that support others. Yet, the systems and practical environments around us do not always support participation in daily activities! My clients & their families teach me so much about life through their perseverance & advocacy.

2 years ago Dr. Day was completing an executive certificate on home modification & looking at office spaces. When she saw the accessible door & an open space for a gym, her mind was full of possibilities about all Sunny Day Therapy could do & build in this beautiful, accessible space! Environments matter. Let’s do all that we can to support the regulation and participation of all around us.

Fast forward to now, building programs and sharing resources to enhance sensory health and regulation is a joy! It is an honor to share our space & to be part of your story.

Today is a reminder of how much strength, planning, and invisible effort often go into daily life for people living with disability and those who support them. Every story is different, every need is real, and every voice deserves space, respect, and inclusion.

This day also highlights how essential access, understanding, and thoughtful design are for creating environments where people can participate fully without being limited by the world around them.

🍽 Happy Thanksgiving week! There may be opportunities to celebrate & explore new foods with family this Thursday. For some kids, being around others can open them up to playful exploration. For others, the sensory overload of disrupted routines and new foods can be overwhelming! Safety and connection are key goals of occupational therapy. When a child is regulated, they are able to desensitize & habituate (calm their nervous systems & get used to) seeing new foods & eventually even explore them through playful storytelling experiences. It takes time! We are here to help - with the games, words, fun, and tips you need to design positive meal time experiences. Give your child time & space without performance demands, especially if they are feeling overwhelmed in a different environment.
🧘 Nervous system regulation changes everything. Support changes everything.
🔧 Our whole-body therapy tools meet your child one step at a time as they feel ready. From sensory to reflex body work to mindfulness to environmental to scripts to playful exercise, our therapy is here to give you the playbook, games, & tools to navigate your day and complete daily activities (such as feeding, motor tasks, school, social activities, etc.) with confidence.
💗 From the bottom of our hearts, we wish you a Happy Thanksgiving full of regulation for the whole family.
These tips are for educational purposes only and just the tip of the iceberg regarding how our sensory feeding therapy can change a child's life through positive connections! Questions? Email admin@sunnydaytherapy.net or call 859-575-0799.
