TYPO on page 4!! Second dot point down is absolutely not meant to be on that page. Just so everyone is aware! Thanks for those who picked up on it for me ❤️
Neuro-affirming OT is not about changing the child… it’s about changing the way we support them. ✨
As a paediatric OT, I’ve learned that when we honour a child’s sensory needs, communication style, and way of being in the world, we see real connection, confidence, and growth.
Neuro-affirming practice means:
✔ Listening before redirecting
✔ Supporting regulation over forcing compliance
✔ Adapting our approach, instead of expecting kids to mask or fit in
It’s not always easy. It often challenges the way we were trained. But it’s absolutely worth it. Because every child deserves to feel safe, seen, and supported, just as they are 💛
Let’s keep learning, unlearning, and doing better 💐
