Wishing we were home.
We’re making plans for off site care next week just in case we can’t sneak in right away. Look for email or texts from us on when and where your appointments may take place.

We appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding as we’ve scrambled to find a temporary place to provide therapy. We’ll be back home soon.

Hey Gang.
Important update for the week.
If you haven’t heard, the Minot Family YMCA took on some unfortunate water this past week after a fire suppression line burst flooding much of the main floor and causing some significant water damage.

Because of that we have canceled our Monday appointments but are working on solutions for the remainder of the week.

Our plan is to have an alternate location to get your child back in for their necessary treatment. Look for text or email communication to come to you as soon as we have the details ironed out.

Thank you so much for your patience, understanding, and trust in us.

We aren’t sure how long this adjustment may be. We are currently taking this week by week.

Of course, if you have questions regarding your child’s care during this time, let us know. We’ll do our best to answer those. Meanwhile, hang tight, and check you messages. (We’ll be pretty adamant about getting a hold of you so…)

Stylists, we need you!
Prairie Grit Therapy is looking for licensed stylists to volunteer at our Sensory-Friendly Back-to-School Haircut Day on Monday, August 11.

🧡 You bring the skills.
🧡 We’ll provide the support.
🧡 Together, we’ll make a real difference.

Hey! We know her!

Meet one of our amazing UND Occupational Therapy alumni from the class of 2005, Krystal Butgereit, MOT, OTR/L.
As the Executive Director of Prairie Grit Adaptive Sports in Minot, ND, she’s on a mission to enhance the quality of life for youth and adults with physical and mental disabilities by providing meaningful sports and recreational opportunities. She also serves patients in Prairie Grit Therapy’s outpatient pediatric clinic, blending leadership with hands-on care.
One of her proudest accomplishments has been developing and implementing over 40 adaptive sports activities and events, helping individuals feel included, empowered, and supported. “Knowing I helped build something so special that has positively impacted families in our community has been incredibly rewarding and continues to inspire my work.”
When she’s not making a difference through OT, you’ll find her reading, paddleboarding, skiing, or cheering on her kids at their sporting events.
Her advice for future OTs is “Build connections and don’t be afraid to ask for help or advice. Strive to continue to learn and grow throughout your career.”
The UND OT program helped instill the knowledge and confidence she needed to grow her passion for the field.
She’s a wonderful example of how diverse and impactful a career in occupational therapy can be — from pediatrics to mental health, orthopedic care, adaptive sports, and beyond. Each day truly brings something new!
