Did you know speech therapy can happen while your child is practicing another skill they love, like chess? Co-treatment sessions combine speech goals with functional activities, helping kids work on communication, turn-taking, problem-solving, and social interaction in a fun, real-world way.

When kids are engaged in something meaningful, therapy feels less like work and more like play, making progress even more powerful.

Did you know October is Dyslexia & Learning Disabilities Awareness Month? Dysgraphia is a writing-specific learning challenge that can cause messy handwriting, spacing issues, or slow writing. Occupational therapy can help kids build hand strength, motor planning, and confidence with writing.

Autumn is perfect for sensory fun! Fill a bin with leaves, pinecones, and acorns for your child to explore. Have them sort by size or color, scoop and pour into containers, or create leaf rubbings with crayons. Sensory play supports regulation and motor skills, plus itโ€™s just fun.
