Therapist Shoutout:: Emily Katz ✨ We are thrilled to share that Emily, an extraordinary OT on our team will be participating in the New York City Marathon this weekend. This is a remarkable milestone and truly a testament to her dedication, perseverance and commitment to both personal and professional excellence.

Running 26.2 miles through the five boroughs of New York City is no small feat and we could not be prouder to support Emily in this inspiring journey.

Training for a marathon requires months of rigorous preparation and Emily has managed it all with grace and determination, embodying the same resilience and hard work she brings to our team every day.

Emily will be wearing bib number 3737 if you are wanting to cheer her on as she whizzes past you. We'll be cheering you on from the sidelines 👏🏻 👟 ⚡️💥

Early intervention is a crucial first step for children experiencing developmental delays. It offers a window of opportunity to support their growth and maximize their potential. But sometimes, parents or caregivers might hesitate to begin intervention services.

Here are 5 things to consider if you're thinking about delaying early intervention, slide through till the end.

Remember, you are NOT alone!

If you have concerns about your child's development, talk to a professional. No matter how much you look up on the internet or take general advice, it won’t be equal to a valid checkup.

Begin by talking to your pediatrician, they can assess your child's needs and connect you with a qualified early intervention specialist.

Every journey begins with a single step. Start today and watch your child BLOOM!

Taking the first step towards therapy for your child can feel overwhelming. But know this: a comprehensive evaluation is the key to unlocking their full potential.

An occupational therapy (OT) or physical therapy (PT) evaluation is the foundation of the therapy process. It's a collaborative effort between you, the therapist, and potentially your child's teacher or caregiver, all working together to understand your child's unique needs.

What to Expect During an Evaluation with us:

Duration: The evaluation typically takes 75-90 minutes.

Assessment Techniques: A combination of standardized tests and clinical observations will be used to assess various areas:

🏷️Sensory processing
🏷️Sensory motor skills
🏷️Self-help skills
🏷️Social-emotional skills
🏷️Gross motor skills
🏷️Fine motor skills

Some common standardized tests will vary based on your child's needs.

Observation Settings: Clinical observations may be conducted in the clinic, at home, or even at school to get a well-rounded picture of your child's functioning in different environments.

Following the Evaluation, a comprehensive report will be provided, summarizing standardized test scores, clinical observations, and input from you, your child's caregiver(s), and teacher(s) if applicable.

And then in a separate meeting (typically 45 minutes), the therapist will discuss personalized goals, treatment plans, and recommendations specifically tailored to your child's needs.

This initial evaluation is the springboard for your child's therapy journey. By working together as a team, we can create a roadmap for success and help your child reach their full potential.

Let's get started!

While crawling might seem like a simple activity, it can be crucial to unlock your child's full potential.

Whether your child is a baby or older and facing learning challenges, adding crawling exercises to their routine could help. This supports physical growth, boosts brain power, improves coordination, and enhances focus.

Don't underestimate the power of crawling – it might help your child thrive in school and play.

While the signs listed here can be indicators of interoception difficulties, it's important to remember that they can also be present in other conditions. This is why a professional evaluation by a pediatrician or occupational therapist is IMPORTANT.

Why Professional Help Matters:

Accurate Diagnosis: A qualified therapist can assess your child's development and identify the underlying cause of their challenges. This could be a sensory processing disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), anxiety, or something else entirely.

Individualized Treatment: Based on the diagnosis, a therapist can develop a personalized treatment plan to address your child's specific needs. This might involve sensory integration activities, toileting strategies, or emotional regulation techniques.

Early Intervention is Key: Addressing interoception challenges early can significantly improve your child's overall well-being and future development.

Don't wait to seek help if you have concerns!

Early intervention can make a world of difference.

Bloom Occupational Therapy can help! We offer comprehensive evaluations and a wide range of therapeutic approaches to support children with interoception difficulties.
