4 years! I can't believe it's been 4 years, and what a journey it has been and continues to be! The families I've been blessed to be a part of their child's lives, the staff at all the different schools and daycares I must thank you for your never-ending support. Thank you for trusting me and allowing me to be a part of your lives, your children's lives, and your students' lives. I truly am thankful and can't wait to see what the next 4 years will bring.

⭐️Behavior is communication⭐️

We so often punish, offer rewards for good behavior, bribe, yell, talk, etc for kids to be good. But here's the thing...Kids do well if they can. And very often, kids with "behavior" difficulties aren't acting out just because. Their behavior is trying to communicate to us as adults that they are struggling with something. This is where occupational therapy can help! It's our job to investigate and find out exactly what is triggering the behavior. Then, as therapists, we work with the child to build those skills they are struggling in. If you have concerns about your child's behavior, please reach out to us! We're here to help 😊

Did you know....Occupational therapy was established during World War I, and even in its earliest stages, included mental health initiatives. Towards the conclusion of the war, when so many American soldiers were coming home with panicked mindsets (a condition later coined “shell shocked”), the United States War Department employed reconstruction aids (RA) to assist wounded and worrisome soldiers in their recovery.

These RAs were civilian women who served in military hospitals, at home, and abroad to help reconstruct the realities of the lives the soldiers had known before becoming disabled. Occupational therapy RAs taught crafts and vocational skills to distract the injured while increasing their productivity and morale.

Just a little history lesson for you 🙂

Bonus part of my job: getting to spend time with my clients' animals. This handsome boy is a new addition and it was love at first sight. He is a gentle giant 🥰
