Focus. Strength. Progress. ✨

During his three-week Intensive Occupational Therapy sessions, Ryder worked hard on both motor and visual skills. These skills will help him move with purpose and connect with his world. πŸ’ͺπŸ‘€

Here’s a glimpse of his hard work:
⚑E-Stim Biking – Strengthening reciprocal arm movement while practicing sustained eye gaze.
🐷 Pop the Pig – Supporting speech goals by using his eyes for play and communication.
πŸ”΄ Ball Punch in the Spider Cage – Improving foot awareness while engaging in play.
🌈 Bubble Tube & Squigz – Reaching, grasping, and visual targeting with motivating feedback.
β­• Cones & Rings on the Ball – Balance, body awareness, and reaching while looking at his target.

With consistency, Ryder is building the foundation for more independence in daily life. πŸ’š Great work Ryder! πŸ’ͺ

Breaking patterns. Building strength. πŸ’ͺ

In Rhiannon's three-week Intensive Physical Therapy session, every exercise was chosen with purpose. For Rhiannon, that meant learning how to balance her body and challenge old movement patterns.

This is how she tackled her Intensive PT:
πŸ•ΈοΈ Quadruped – Practicing bending her legs and finding balance between flexors and extensors, with the spider cage giving her just the right support.
🚲 Biking – Strengthening her legs while working on reciprocation, one push at a time.
🧍 Sit-to-Stands – Training her to lean forward (β€œnose over toes!”) so she can break the reflex of always extending and improve posture for daily life.

It’s not just about the exercises, it’s about building the strength, control, and confidence she needs for every day life. πŸ’š

✨ Sometimes the hardest work is standing still. ✨ During Arianne’s three-week Intensive Physical Therapy session every exercise had a purpose: πŸ’ͺ Standing Balance – Hooked into the spider cage, she worked on standing tall and strong, activating her core and flexor chain while resisting her natural urge to move, twist, and jump. πŸ‹οΈβ€β™€οΈ Lunges – Building hip stability and midline control to strengthen her transitions and stop hanging on ligaments, instead using those powerful muscles! πŸšΆβ€β™€οΈ Walking Backwards – Breaking old patterns to improve posture, stability, and hip extension. Each repetition helps her body learn new ways to move, stand, and grow stronger β€” laying the foundation for greater independence. πŸ’š Amazing work Arianne! πŸ‘πŸŒŸ Progress doesn’t happen overnight, but with patience, practice, and the right support, the possibilities are endless. πŸ‘‰ Follow along to see how intensive therapy helps kiddos achieve big milestones through small but mighty steps!

Our new Visse.Official Sensory Haven CalmBuddy swing has quickly become a favorite in the clinic, and it’s easy to see why! πŸŒ€ Vestibular input galore - Kiddos can spin, swing, and move in every direction, helping regulate their sensory systems. πŸ€— Enclosed + secure - Unlike a flat swing or sheet swing, this one cocoons kiddos, giving them proprioceptive input and a sense of calm. πŸ’ͺ Flexible use - Sitting, laying down, or even on their stomach. Each position helps target different skills like core strength, head control, and focus. It’s more than just fun, it’s functional therapy that kids love! πŸ’šπŸ‘‰ Would your kiddo enjoy swinging high or being cozy and enclosed? Tell us below!Get yours here: https://loom.ly/523CPBc πŸ”—

We are so incredibly proud of you Leo!!! 🌟 If your child is on their own journey, remember: progress is possible. ✨ Every little step brings you closer. πŸ‘‰ Follow along to see more stories of determination and hope!
