The ABC's of OT:

N is for NEURODIVERSITY 🧠💛

Neurodiversity means that all brains are different—and that’s not a problem to fix.

It includes kids with:
• Autism
• ADHD
• Sensory differences
• Learning differences

In OT, we don’t try to “change” who a child is.

We support them by:
✔️ Building skills
✔️ Adapting the environment
✔️ Honoring their strengths

Different, not less 💛

The ABC's of OT:

M is for MIDLINE CROSSING ➡️⬅️

Midline crossing is the ability to reach across your body to the other side.

It’s essential for everyday skills like:
✏️ Writing
👕 Dressing
⚽ Sports
📚 Reading

When kids struggle with this, you might see:
• Switching hands mid-task
• Turning their whole body instead of reaching across
• Messy or inefficient work

OT helps build this through:
✔️ Crossing midline activities
✔️ Bilateral play
✔️ Fun movement games

Stronger midline skills = smoother, more coordinated movement 🙌

L is for LOW TONE 💪
Low muscle tone (hypotonia) can make everyday tasks feel harder for kids.

You might notice:
• Slouching or leaning on surfaces
• Fatigue with sitting or writing
• “Floppy” or low endurance posture
• Delayed motor skills

OT helps by building:
✔️ Core strength
✔️ Postural control
✔️ Endurance through play

Support the body → support everything else 💛

The ABC's of OT:

K is for KINESTHETIC AWARENESS 🧠💪

Kinesthetic awareness is your body’s ability to know how it’s moving… without looking.

When kids struggle with this, you might see:
• Using too much or too little force ✏️
• Clumsy or uncoordinated movements
• Breaking crayons or writing too lightly
• Difficulty with sports or playground skills

OT helps build this through:
✔️ Heavy work activities
✔️ Resistance (pushing, pulling, carrying)
✔️ Obstacle courses
✔️ Movement-based play

Better body awareness = better control, coordination, and confidence 🙌

The ABC's of OT:

J is for JUST RIGHT CHALLENGE 🎯

In OT, we don’t make things too easy… or too hard.
We find the “just right” challenge—where a child is:
✨ Engaged
✨ Successful (with effort!)
✨ Building new skills

This is where real progress happens.

Too easy = boredom 😴
Too hard = frustration 😣
Just right = growth 🌱

That’s the magic of OT 💛

The ABC's of OT!

I is for: Independence

Independence is the goal of occupational therapy: helping children build the skills they need to do things on their own with confidence.
This includes:
• Self-care (dressing, feeding, toileting)
• Fine motor skills (zippers, buttons, utensils)
• Executive functioning (following steps, completing tasks)
• Emotional regulation (managing feelings, coping skills, self-control)

We don’t do it for the child—we support them in doing it themselves by grading tasks and building skills step-by-step.

Independence builds confidence, resilience, and lifelong success.

The ABC's of OT:

H is for HEAVY WORK 🏋️

Heavy work activities provide deep pressure to muscles and joints, helping children feel more calm, focused, and regulated.

These activities are especially helpful for kids who are:
• Constantly moving
• Seeking sensory input
• Struggling with attention or transitions
Examples of heavy work: • Pushing a laundry basket
• Carrying groceries or books
• Animal walks (bear, crab 🐻🦀)
• Wall push-ups
• Pulling resistance bands

💡 Think: push, pull, carry = calm body, better focus

The ABC's of OT!

G is for Grasp ✋📸
Grasp is a foundational skill that helps kids hold, control, and use objects—from crayons to utensils. As children grow, their grasp evolves from a whole-hand hold to more refined finger control, supporting handwriting, feeding, and independence.
In OT, we work on strengthening hands and developing efficient grasp patterns through play-based activities that build coordination and confidence.

The ABC's of OT! 🍼🍴

F is for Feeding! Occupational therapists help children across the life span with feeding skills. Occupational therapists may help by addressing the oral motor skills needed for feeding or navigating food challenges in order to expand a child’s food repertoire.

The ABC's of OT!

E is for Executive Functioning! Executive functioning skills are cognitive skills we use daily to make decisions, complete activities, and navigate life’s challenges. Occupational therapists work with children to help develop and refine these skills so that they can be successful at school, home, and beyond.

The ABC's of OT!

D is for Daily Activities! 
As occupational therapists, our “bread and butter” is daily activities. Pediatric occupational therapists focus on helping children engage in activities such as self-care tasks (dressing, feeding, eating, hygiene, toileting, grooming), academic tasks, and play!

The ABC'S of OT!

C is for Coloring! A classic example of a childhood activity is coloring! Difficulty with this task could be related to a child’s strength, fine motor control, visual skills, or grasping patterns. Occupational therapists can help children better engage in this task by addressing the skills required for this task during therapy. 🖍
