OT week is hier en WOW!!! Ek leer so baie oor visie, die effek wat visie op ons lyfies kan he en die effek van belyning en goeie posturele beheer op visie.

Voel ekstra geseend vandag om in my beroep te kan wees. ❤️🌻

Don’t forget the kids who are doing the extra work.

The kids whose days don’t end with the final bell, the kids whose breaks don’t follow a school calendar.

The kids who spend their afternoons being shuttled to speech, or PT, or OT.

The kids whose schedules include services and therapies, on top of everything else.

The kids who need extra help and support.

The kids who are struggling to overcome barriers—whether physical, mental, or emotional.

The kids who don’t follow the typical schedules, hit the expected milestones, take the traditional path.

The kids who might need different strategies and tools to help them learn.

These kids are working so hard, too.

They’re tired, too, even if their successes seem smaller or maybe even completely unnoticeable to most.

There likely aren’t any awards for them at the end of the year, or special recognition for how far they’ve come.

But take it from me—they are working SO dang hard.

Don’t forget to acknowledge their efforts.

Because what might be a small hurdle on the track for most kids, could be a Herculean task for a kid who has to try 10 times harder just to make it to the starting line.

These kids might not excel in traditional ways, but there’s nothing unexceptional about them.

Because they work harder for every win, and they don’t take a single one for granted.

Meet Ruby, our in-house therapy cat. She visits each and every friend who comes to play, is always keen for a cuddle and has a world of patience.

It is so lovely to watch how the kids engage with her, and how they find her presence a source of comfort and motivation.

From her I have learned the value of simply being a loving presence in the world of a child and how that can help to open that door to the things that are a challenge ❤️🌻

We are a bit quiet on the socials - because what a privilege it is to be able to continue learning and being an absorbing part of the future of therapy.

This year I am back behind the books to do my NDT (neurodevelopmental training) AGAIN, and how amazing to realize that technology and knowledge has moved forward so much in the 4 years since I last did this course.

So humbled and thankful to do my job and to continue learning❤️🌻
