💪🧠 Obstacle courses aren't just fun—they're functional!
Whether it's crawling under tables, jumping over pillows, or balancing on a line of tape, obstacle courses help kids:

✅ Build strength and coordination
✅ Boost body awareness and motor planning
✅ Improve focus and attention
✅ Get out energy in a purposeful way

Try creating one at home with your child using simple household items like couch cushions, stuffed animals, baskets, chairs, or shoes. The possibilities are endless. It’s a playful way to support your child’s development while having a blast! 🏃‍♀️🎯

👋 What is Occupational Therapy (OT), and Why Might My Child Need It? 🧠✋

Pediatric OT helps children gain independence and confidence in everyday activities — from getting dressed and holding a pencil to making friends and managing big emotions.

💡 Parents often seek OT when they notice challenges like:

▪️ Trouble with fine motor skills (e.g., handwriting, using utensils)
▪️ Sensory sensitivities or seeking behaviors
▪️ Delays in reaching developmental milestones
▪️ Difficulty with attention, transitions, or emotional regulation
▪️ Struggles with feeding, dressing, or other daily tasks

An OT can help uncover the why behind the challenge and build a plan to help your child succeed. 💪

Whether you're concerned about coordination, focus, or emotional well-being, OT offers support tailored to your child.
