Help your child be successful at school lunch as well as using their backpack with these fun ideas!

- Lunch box/ food containers 🥪🍎

Lunch boxes and food containers can sometimes require complex fine motor skills. If your child uses a lunch box or food containers for school lunch, start practicing opening and closing them this month! You can make it fun, like packing a picnic to take to a park. This will allow time for practice or help you identify if your child might need a different option.

Don’t forget to practice opening zip loc baggies and prepackaged food items too, like fruit snacks or string cheese. If your child isn’t ready for this, consider pre opening these things when packing their lunch to help them feel successful and comfortable at school.

- Backpacks 🎒

When selecting a backpack, consider the size of your child and the size of the backpack. A backpack should be worn with both straps, a snug fit, and evenly distributed weight. This will keep your child be comfortable to and from school as well as prevent any injury or pain.

If the zipper is tricky for your child, consider adding a loop (using thread cable, string, or a carabiner) which adds length to reduce the fine motor challenge. Make it fun and let your child decorate the attachment with beaded key chains or stickers!

May is Better Speech and Hearing Month!

Here are some expert tips to help show your ears and voice some love (from our Speech- Language Pathologists 💛):

Hearing Tips

🦻Keep the volume in check- if it’s loud enough to feel, it’s loud enough to damage your hearing
🦻Wear ear protection in noisy environments (concerts, mowing the lawn, etc.)

Vocal/ Voice Tips
🗣️ Drink lots of water- your vocal cords work best when they are well hydrated
🗣️ Take vocal breaks- rest your voice if you work or spend time in environments that require lots of talking

Help us celebrate Occupational Therapy (OT) month by celebrating our amazing OT team!

Meet Marina! Marina is one of our COTA’s and is the Team Lead for our Minnetonka and Eden Prairie locations. She brings organization, new ideas, and laughter to our team! Check out Marina’s favorite therapy item - Kinetic Sand 👀

Did you know our tactile sensory system is a crucial component that allows us to understand and interact with the world? It’s responsible for processing information about textures, pain, temperature, and pressure. It integrates with all our other sensory systems to help us create a better understanding of our environment (both internally and externally).

Marina likes to use kinetic sand to help her clients explore their tactile sensory system which can lead to:

😀 Improved regulation
😀 Increased focus and attention
😀 Motor development
😀 Understanding of texture, shapes, and sizes
😀And more!

To everyone that participated in our 2025 bracket, thank you! The votes are in and doing therapy outside was chosen as our winner.. check out some therapeutic benefits of outdoor therapy:

☀️ Multi- sensory learning: outdoor environments engage all the senses which can enhance learning and increase focus
☀️ Exercise: outdoor spaces typically provides opportunities to run, jump, climb, play which provides opportunities for motor development
☀️ Self- regulation: going outside is a regulation strategy providing a healthy outlet for over stimulation in indoor environments + all the other benefits of being in nature (calming sounds, sights, smells, etc)
☀️ Social play: provides opportunities outside a structured setting to develop friendships and play skills
