January is National Birth Defects Prevention Month.

Physical therapy plays a vital role in supporting children born with conditions such as cerebral palsy, spina bifida, and other neuromuscular or developmental differences.

These conditions can impact strength, balance, posture, and overall movement patterns. Pediatric physical therapy focuses on helping children move more efficiently and confidently, using individualized, play-based interventions rather than forcing milestones.

Physical therapy can help:
• Improve muscle strength and joint stability
• Support balance, coordination, and endurance
• Promote functional movement for daily activities and play
• Increase independence over time

At Sensory Innovations, we offer individualized physical therapy services designed to support each child’s unique needs and goals — meeting them where they are and helping them build a strong foundation for movement.

We’re hosting an event tomorrow (Saturday) from 9–12, but just a heads up — we’re still open to the public for drop-in play during that time!

That means you’re welcome to stop by, play, and explore our sensory space just like normal, even while the event is happening.

No sign-ups needed for drop-in play — just come on in!

Questions? DM us or stop by in person — we’d love to see you 🫶

Feeding challenges aren’t always about picky eating.

For many kids, food aversions are connected to sensory processing, oral-motor skills, or past experiences with food. New textures, smells, or tastes can feel overwhelming — and that’s where a play-based approach matters.

In feeding therapy, we focus on building comfort and confidence first. Exploration, curiosity, and positive experiences come before expectations to eat. Progress might look like touching, smelling, or interacting with food — and that’s still progress.

✨ If you’re new here — or even if you’ve been with us for a while....

We rang in a new year, but what we offer hasn’t changed — because it works. 💪

At Sensory Innovations, you can:
• Drop in for single play-based sensory experiences (no long-term commitment)
• Choose a monthly membership for consistent access
• Get 1:1 support with a licensed therapist when your child needs more individualized care (no referral needed)

Whether you’re looking for a supportive play space, ongoing sensory input, or professional guidance — we’re here for you.

Come see us in person, or DM or call us to learn more about what might be the best fit for your family 💜

Motor skills and sensory processing are foundational for learning.

According to the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA), skills like postural control, motor planning, and sensory regulation directly support a child’s ability to attend, participate, and succeed in school-related tasks.

When these foundational skills are supported, learning becomes more accessible.

At Sensory Innovations, we focus on building the foundations that support confident learners. 😎

The transition back to school after a break can be challenging for many children — not because they’re “misbehaving,” but because their nervous systems are adjusting to new demands again.

Research shows that children regulate, attend, and learn best when their sensory and emotional systems feel supported first. When regulation comes before expectations, skills follow.

Here's Some Ways to Support the Back-to-School Transition:
• Predictable routines help reduce anxiety and improve attention and behavior
• Movement breaks support focus, self-regulation, and executive functioning
• Sensory input (swinging, climbing, deep pressure, heavy work) helps organize the nervous system
• Visual supports improve transitions, task completion, and independence
• Co-regulation with a trusted adult builds long-term self-regulation skills

At Sensory Innovations, we focus on supporting the whole child — not just academic skills, but the underlying sensory and motor foundations that allow learning to happen.

As we head into a new year and a new school season, remember:
Regulation isn’t a reward.
Movement isn’t a distraction.
Support isn’t a shortcut — it’s the foundation.

We’re here to help kids feel ready, confident, and capable — both in and out of the classroom.

While occupational therapy (OT), physical therapy (PT), and speech-language pathology (SLP) don’t always co-treat in the same session, collaboration across disciplines plays a powerful role in a child’s progress.

Research shows that interdisciplinary care supports better functional outcomes by addressing the whole child — not just one skill area at a time.
• PT supports posture, strength, and movement foundations
• OT builds regulation, motor planning, and daily life skills
• SLP targets communication, feeding, and social connection

When therapists share goals, strategies, and observations, therapy becomes more cohesive and meaningful — even when sessions happen separately. And from time to time, joint sessions can provide rich opportunities to integrate movement, regulation, and communication in real-time.

Different disciplines. Shared goals. One child-centered approach.

Sensory overload isn’t a behavior problem — it’s a nervous system response 🤍

When a child becomes overwhelmed by sound, movement, light, or touch, their brain may struggle to process everything at once. What can look like meltdowns, shutdowns, or avoidance is often the body communicating stress, not defiance.

Supporting regulation first helps children feel safe, focused, and ready to engage. Occupational and physical therapy can help build sensory tolerance, improve nervous system regulation, and teach strategies that carry over into everyday life.

When we support the nervous system, behavior improves naturally.

✨ DID YOU KNOW? ✨

Controlled vestibular input (swinging, spinning, and changes in head position) has been shown to improve attention, postural control, and eye-hand coordination in children.

Research published in the American Journal of Occupational Therapy found that vestibular processing plays a key role in regulating arousal levels, which directly impacts a child’s ability to stay focused and engaged during tasks like learning, sitting, and play (Ayres Sensory Integration®).
