Its ! We have had the priviledge of loving on Hannah and her family since Day 1. She has worked extremely hard in therapy and has mastered her goals. Grateful that she will be able to continue using what she has gained and apply these skills to needed areas. Thankful for the work Mrs. Leslie is doing with our early intervention and home-schooled kids.❤❤❤

The holidays are upon us, which means there will be more noises, bright lights, more people around, and unfamiliar homes or areas.

Here are a few tips to make this holiday season sensory friendly, as everyone deserves to enjoy every season of life.

🎄 Offer a decoration free area - decorations can disguise the normal environment, offer an area that is not decorated or limit decorations

🎄 serve food your child will eat

🎄 use a written or visual schedule to let your child know what is happening and when

🎄 allow your child to have their fidgets and/or headphones during events

🎄use dimmable Christmas lights

🎄provide regularly scheduled rest breaks or nap time

Occupational Therapy Developmental Milestones: 3 months

Your child is developing fine motor skills at this age. Remember, each child is unique and will develop at his or her own rate. Use this guide as a tool to learn the next developmental step and ways to help.

1. Tried to reach for objects
2. Uses eyes to follow moving objects across midline when in supported sitting
3. Will smile and vocalize when interacting with others

How to help your baby develop these skills:

-give your baby a safe space and opportunity to roll around. This develops strength, control, and flexibility that is required to use their hands.
-provide soft sensory toys that squeak or crinkle
-provide tummy time
-offer toys that are within baby’s reach to promote swatting and reaching for toys
-provide toys that rattle or move to promote visual tracking and following

"‘Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these’” (Mark 10:14-15)

All children are a vital part of God’s plan, and a treasure of His earthly and heavenly kingdom! They are valuable, they are valued, and as the song famously sings, “they are precious in His sight, and ours too.

This little fellow came and brightened up our world with his infectious smile and pure determination. He loves coming to therapy and has worked hard on things like: self regulation, executive functions, social participation, play, self-care, and motor skills. He has mastered all of his goals set for him and no longer needs the support of occupational therapy. We are sad to see him go, but glad he can do the things he needs to do. He not only has received therapy, but provided a little therapy for us in return! "Go be great Joshua!" We are so proud of you.
