📣HAPPY OT MONTH‼️🎉

Meet Cindy!! 👇🏻🤩

My name is Cindy Heister. I’ve been an occupational therapist for 28 years working with children, geriatrics and rehab. In 2010, I became certified as a pediatric OT. In 2019, I became a certified autism specialist.

My faith in God is the most important thing in my life. He has blessed me with an amazing family. I have been married to my husband Chad for almost 29 years and we have 3 adult children Ryan, Matthew and Elly.

I love being an occupational therapist because it allows me to support children and their families through play and activities. Sometimes the challenges of a diagnosis can seem overwhelming; I understand how families feel. My son Matthew was diagnosed with autism in preschool. As a caregiver of an adult with autism, there continues to be new challenges but also an abundance of joy with every day!

In addition to seeing children at Kiwi Kids, I also contract with the Juniata County School District and work a few mornings at Mexico Market where I help open and serve as my son’s job coach. When I’m not working, I enjoy reading, crocheting, gardening and walking in the woods around my house. I’m also a HUGE Harry Potter and Marvel fan.

I’m very excited to be working with Kiwi Kids and I look forward meeting new families. 💚💚💚

Looking for an Easter basket gift? How about a book 📕

has set up a pop-up Paper Pie bookstore right in the waiting room at Kiwi Kids! Stop in anytime to shop!

Our little ones learn so much through reading! I truly believe you can never have too many books! 📚

Sitting balance is a big milestone for babies and it’s about so much more than just sitting up!

When working on their independent sitting, your little one is building core strength, postural control, and coordination needed for reaching, playing, and eventually crawling.

One of my favorite tools? A peanut ball! Gentle bouncing or rocking on the ball challenges your baby’s balance in a fun, engaging way while activating those important trunk muscles. It also helps improve body awareness and reactions to movement.

Mr. Kiwi approves!

The core is your child’s “Central support system” and the building block for all gross motor skills 💪🧩

Not just your tummy muscles, your core includes muscles of the back, hips, shoulders, and tummy to help stabilize the body so your little ones arms and legs can move with control.

Does your little one not quite have the confidence to stand on his or her own yet?

Are they standing but very reliant on their hands to hold themselves self up?

Try using posterior support- guide them in standing against a wall or couch allowing them to use their hands for play and activate those muscles needed for upright standing💥
