The changing season is a great opportunity to learn about the outdoors! 🍁A fall sensory bin is a great activity for sensory seekers. Explore the outdoors collecting pine cones, acorns, changing leaves, and more and the bring mix them with beans, rice, or sand in a large bin. Help your little one practice scooping, dumping, digging.🙌

Halloween Sensory Bags are a fun way to participate in tactile play without the mess. All you need is a ziploc bag, orange jello, and foam cutouts for a face. Your child can then use their fingers and hands to move the pieces around from the outside of the bag. Adapt the activity by adding other elements such as corn kernels, pom-poms, googly eyes... basically whatever you want! 📸 from Pinterest.

🍎Love apples?🍏 Turn a trip to the orchard into a fun learning experience! Pick your own, sort, count, and label colors. Have your child help to pull the wagon or carry baskets for some heavy work input. Then of course comes the yummy sensory fun! Count the seeds (work of that neat pincer grasp), make apple sauce or use apples for dipping. Paint with apples... the possibilities are endless!

Infant torticollis happens when the sternocleidomastoid muscle (which runs behind the ear to the collarbone on both sides of the neck) is contracted. Because your baby’s neck muscle is shortened on one side of the neck, it pulls his head into a tilt, rotation, and often both. Your pediatrician can diagnose torticollis and physical therapy through early intervention is often recommended. If you are concerned that your child has trouble turning their head to one side, has their head tilted to one side, or will only breast-feed from one side, talk to your child’s pediatrician and reach out for one of our fabulous physical therapists to work with your child.

There’s a difference between having a picky eater and a child with a possible feeding disorder. If you’re at all concerned about feeding, talk to your pediatrician. Our therapists have tons of experience with feeding, whether it’s selective eating or a true feeding dysfunction.

FEEDING TIP FRIDAY: Working on feeding goes beyond just eating. Having your child feed a favorite stuffed animal is a great activity for so many reasons. One of our little buddies was working on pretend play by feeding his bear and giving him a drink. Play, utensil use, language, coordination, and social interactions. If you're concerned, reach out, our specialists in feeding can help!
