Hi there, I'm Cait! I have been working as an Occupational Therapist since 2010.

I have a special interest in Paediatric and Adult Neurological Conditions, Cortical Visual Impairment, Developmental Delays, and Wheelchair & Seating Assessments.

Designing and making assistive devices to help this little guy with dyskinetic CP (athetoid) to be able to drink independently.

**A straw bottle would be better suited, as it doesn't require as much active shoulder flexion. But he isn't able to suck through a straw yet (our Speech Therapist is busy working on this!), so this is our next best option - for now.**

Moments like these.... 😍🥰❤️

I feel like the term " 'n boer maak 'n plan " should be used interchangeably for an OT too... because we are ALWAYS problem solving and finding ways to make things easier or more affordable 😄

The assistive device you see in the first few images is called a "FUNctional hand". It's a really amazing gadget for those who have limited hand function... but it's pretty pricey.

So I tried an old hair band trick (check out the short- badly filmed- video 😄) and voila! Success!

This dude seemed pretty happy with the results too 🥰

🌟 Learning to tie shoelaces.. in action this time!! 🌟

This little dude learnt the 1st stage of tying laces within 5 minutes yesterday! Swipe to see how quickly he did it at the end, and how proud he was of himself for getting it right! 😍😍

Did I mention I love what I do? 🥰😋🥰

Such a simple way to teach children how to tie their shoelaces 🌟 ..the different colour laces makes it so much easier for kids to distinguish between the 2 laces, which- in turn- makes the tying technique easier for them to process visually!

Our Special Needs Gala is always the most beautiful, inspiring, and fun-filled day ❤️

Love my FUNctionalhand assistive device ⭐️

For children and adults who have limited hand and upper limb function, this device is such a win!

This little boy can only hold objects using a palmar (fi**ed) grasp. He uses his arm in a pronated position- so this device helps to angle crayons/chalk in a vertical plane, which then allows him to draw independently on a page/board.

I cannot tell you how hardworking and passionate our therapy team is at 💙💜🩵🩷

Just look at some of the stations set up for our Under the Sea Neurodiversity Week! Everyone goes ALL OUT- often after hours- as we still keep up with all our therapy sessions.

Looking forward to a fun-filled last week of term next week!!!

Such a great visual on how to hold scissors correctly!

The sticker has been used as a visual queue to remind the child to keep their forearm in neutral (i.e. keep the sticker facing up to the ceiling👆) as many children tend to pronate their forearms when learning to cut (i.e. they turn their forearms down towards the floor).
