Does your child have a parent-teacher conference coming up?

If your child is struggling in any of the areas below, it may be time for an Occupational Therapy evaluation.

➡️ Difficulty sitting still
➡️ Sensory seeking/avoiding behavior interfering with school tasks
➡️ Handwriting challenges
➡️ Struggles to color, use scissors, puzzles
➡️ Difficulty identifying shapes, letters, numbers
➡️ Difficulty transitioning between tasks

Don’t forget to ask about all of the areas of educational skills! You are the voice for your child!!

We’ve had 5/6 Sensory Storytimes at the Mt Lebanon Library! We provide fun sensory activities, engaging books, and education to caregivers including a walk on river stones as we enter the room, planted seeds and played in the dirt, talked about feelings and played in rice bins talking about calm down strategies, blew bubbles for oral sensory input, games and songs to increase body awareness, and shaving cream painting to name a few!! 1 more session Friday and another 6 week series beginning August 4th.

Check out www.homelearningstrategies.com and reach out if I can help you incorporate these sensory strategies and more into a sensory diet to help you and your child at home! I can also bring this programming to a library in the South Hills near you!!

First in a series of Friday Sensory Storytimes at The Mt Lebanon Library! We read books about flowers, insects and birds, used therabands to imitate the movement of insects (can you swoop and swirl with a theraband🦋🕊️??) for proprioceptive input, sang songs and moved our bodies, and then planted seeds… touching and smelling the dirt, to enjoy later at home🌺! So excited to share OT and provide sensory related programming in the community!

Brought some very fun and engaging sensory bins to 2-3 year old library story time today! Awesome to partner with Mount Lebanon Library to talk about the calming aspect of this sensory input. What do you put in your sensory bins??
