We’re officially in our Valentine’s era 💐✨

Our friend and student got creative and made the sweetest bouquet — made from his own handprints! 🖐️💗 They cut them out and turned them into a one-of-a-kind flower arrangement, and loved showing it off!

“Thank you for the lovely bouquet…” 🎶💐 (Swifties, you get it 😉)

We love activities like this — building fine motor skills, encouraging creativity, and creating moments our kiddos can feel proud of.

Handmade. Heartfelt. And definitely bouquet goals. 💕✨

💻 Therapy from anywhere—Teletherapy makes it possible!

Life is busy, but your child’s progress doesn’t have to wait. Teletherapy offers a convenient, flexible, and effective way for children to work on speech, occupational, and feeding goals from the comfort of home.

With teletherapy, kids can:
Practice skills in a familiar environment 🏡
Stay consistent even during bad or during a busy schedule ❄️✈️
Engage with fun, interactive activities tailored to their needs ✨

Progress doesn’t pause—therapy can happen wherever you are! 💙

💬 Comment below: Have you tried teletherapy yet?

Scoot, push, repeat! 🛴✨

This OT activity helps build strength, coordination, and body awareness—without kids even realizing they’re working hard. 💙

Would your kid love this? 👇✨

Did you know feeding therapy can look like play? 🥄🦖

Pretend feeding helps children tolerate new textures, practice holding utensils, and feel more comfortable around food—all without pressure to eat. These moments lay the foundation for positive mealtimes. 💙

Every session is guided by curiosity ✨

When we follow a child’s interests, learning happens naturally. Whether it’s pretend play, hands-on exploration, or creative tasks, our therapists adapt each session to support growth in a way that feels meaningful, engaging, and fun for every child. 💙

Therapy that feels like a trip to the park! ✨

Sometimes, the best breakthroughs don't happen at a table—they happen in a tunnel, on a slide, or while swinging.

By utilizing our gym during speech sessions, we are teaching communication in a high-energy, natural environment. It helps our kiddos practice turn-taking, following directions, and social skills in a way that feels like pure fun.

Watch this little superstar conquer the tunnel and the swing while working hard on their speech goals! 🌟

Ever wonder what these crinkly, colorful tubes are? They aren’t just toys—they are powerful tools for building communication!

We use them for:
Requesting: Modeling "more," "pull," and "pop."
Joint Attention: Sharing the "ready… set… GO!" moment before pulling them apart.
Speech Sounds: Using the "p" sound for "pop" or "t" for "tube."
Following Directions: "Put the blue one on the floor" or "Give the orange one to me."

Therapy is most effective when it looks and feels like play!

❄️ Teletherapy Still Brings the Fun! ❄️

Even though Eleanore and Mrs. Brittany couldn’t meet in person last week, they didn’t miss a beat! They practiced emotional regulation skills, talked all about the winter weather, and stayed connected through teletherapy. 💙

With winter weather, teletherapy can be a great option to keep therapy consistent when travel isn’t safe. Sessions may look a little different—but they’re still engaging, effective, and fun!

If you’re interested in teletherapy during inclement weather, be sure to let your therapist know. We’re here to support your child no matter the forecast! ☃️✨

Speech Therapy looks different for every child 💬💙

In some session, it might just look like playing, talking, or using imagination — but there’s so much more happening beneath the surface. Through imaginative play and conversation, children are learning how to express their feelings, problem-solve, and communicate effectively with others.

What looks like “just play” is actually intentional therapy. These moments help build language, emotional expression, social skills, and confidence in a way that feels natural and engaging.

In our therapy sessions, we meet children where they are and use what motivates them most — because meaningful communication grows best through connection and play.

Occupational Therapy in action ✍️💙

One of our friends was hard at work during an OT session, practicing handwriting skills while using a sensory box in between writing tasks. The sensory breaks helped support focus, regulation, and fine motor control — making it easier to return to writing with confidence.

What may look like play is actually purposeful therapy. Sensory tools are thoughtfully used to help the body and brain stay engaged, organized, and ready to learn.

In Occupational Therapy, every activity has intention — building the skills kids need for greater independence at home, at school, and in everyday life. ✨
