☀️ Summer Fun with a Purpose: Hand Strengthening Edition! 💪🌈
Keep those little hands strong all summer long with these sunshine-filled fine motor activities:
🫙 Treasure Hunt in a Jar – Twist open jars to uncover tiny treasures. Builds wrist strength and improves grip!
🍋 Lemonade Stand Helper – Squeeze spray bottles to “make lemonade” and water the flowers — a perfect way to boost hand and finger muscles!
🏖️ Sandcastle Collage – Tear paper to build your own beachy castle. Ripping is great for finger strength and coordination.
💦 Water Park Play Station – Pour, scoop, stir, and squeeze sponges. Water play + muscle work = win-win!
These playful tasks support muscle development in the hands, fingers, and wrists — all essential for handwriting, cutting, and independence! 💥

🎆Booms, Bangs, and Big Feelings?🎇
Fireworks are fun for some, but they can be a lot for our sensory-sensitive kiddos. 💥 If your child finds the 4th of July overwhelming, try these simple strategies to support their sensory needs:
🧠 Noise-canceling headphones
🧸 Bring a favorite comfort item or weighted blanket
😌 Create a quiet “escape space” indoors or in the car
🎇 Watch fireworks from a distance—or on TV!

Let’s celebrate independence and sensory-friendly fun! 💙❤️🤍

🖍️✋ Let’s grasp the facts—literally! From tiny reflexive fists to mature tripod grasps, your little one’s hands are on an incredible developmental journey. 🙌
👶 0–3 months: reflexes kick in
🧸 3–6 months: grasping gets intentional
🍎 6–12 months: raking, scooping, and the pincer grasp emerges
🖍️ 12–24 months: crayon fun with the digital pronate grasp
📝 3–4 years: the static tripod grasp takes shape
These milestones matter—each one helps build the foundation for writing, dressing, feeding, and more! 💪💡
Not seeing these skills develop? Or have questions? Come talk to us at KST—we’re here to help! 💬💙

🕺 Walk it out… (but not on your toes!) 👣
Still toe walking after age 3? It might be more than just a phase. From sensory needs to tight muscles, we’re here to help little feet hit the ground—heel first! 🦶💥
Let’s stretch, stomp, and march our way to better walking. 💪

🎶 “Cause the sensory’s gonna overstimulate, regulate, regulate, regulate...” 🎶 From spinning to squishing to seeking snuggles — our senses are always working hard behind the scenes! 🌟 We all know sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell... but did you know your body also has: 👂 Vestibular sense (balance + movement) 💪 Proprioceptive sense (body awareness) ❤️ Interoceptive sense (internal feelings like hunger, thirst, and emotions)? When these systems get overwhelmed, kids can feel off-balance, uncomfortable, or out of sync. Helping kids find their “just right” zone is key for focus, emotions, play, and learning! ✨ Our therapists are pros at building personalized sensory strategies — so kids can shake it off and thrive! 🎉

🎶 Oops!... I (W-Sat) Again! 🎶
Just like Britney made iconic moves, W-sitting might look harmless — but it’s not ideal for growing bodies! 🙃
❌ W-sitting can put extra stress on hips, knees, and ankles.
❌ It limits core strength, balance, and stability.
❌ It can make it harder to develop strong, coordinated movements later on!
✨ Encourage other ways to sit — like criss-cross, side-sitting, or long-sitting — to build better posture and strength.
Not sure if your child’s sitting habits are impacting their development? Talk to one of our knowledgeable therapists — we’re here to help! 💬

🌟 OT of the Day: Kassidy! 🌟
Kassidy brings passion and experience to every session, helping kids thrive in both sensory clinics and natural environments! ✨ With expertise in working with children with ASD, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, and more, she’s dedicated to making therapy engaging and meaningful. 💙
Her love for pediatrics was sparked during a clinical rotation at Cleveland Clinic Children’s Hospital, where she specialized in constraint-induced movement therapy for children with cerebral palsy. She also gained a global perspective on inclusion and advocacy while working with children and adults in Guatemala. 🌍💡
When she’s not making a difference in the lives of her kiddos, you can find Kassidy curled up with a good book, exploring coffee shops, or spending time with her friends, family, and beloved cats. ☕📚🐱
We’re so lucky to have Kassidy on our team! 💛

🌟 OT of the Day: Brittany 🌟
Meet Brittany, a certified occupational therapy assistant who brings heart, skill, and a passion for pediatrics to everything she does! After graduating from Durham Technical Community College’s OTA program in 2022, she began her journey helping kids thrive in home health, community-based programs, and outpatient sensory clinics.
From summer camps to refugee preschools, Brittany has always been drawn to supporting children of all abilities. With experience working with ASD, Down syndrome, ADHD, SPD, and developmental delays, she brings a wealth of knowledge and compassion to every session.
Her favorite part of OT? Getting to help kids grow and succeed—while having fun doing it! 🎉
When she’s not at work, you’ll find Brittany soaking up sunshine at the beach, walking with loved ones, or playing the piano. 🎶
Let’s give it up for Brittany and all the joy she brings to the OT world! 💙🙌
