Yoga helps develop postural tone, proprioception and is a great calm-down activity before bed😴

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas 🎄

Christmas crafts 🎄

Our therapy kids had so much fun with this year’s Christmas activity ! This perler bead keyring activity worked on so many skills such as fine motor control, bilateral integration, visual perception, visual-motor integration, task concept, motor planning and more 🌟

Wishing all of our therapy kids and their families a joyful and safe Christmas season ❤️

Love, Kim & Micaela

Baking Christmas cookies 🍪 ⏲️

This was done with some of our older children. They were given the ingredients and the first step of the method and then had to work out the remaining next steps📝

We made some cute little worry friends 💚

These are used as an anxiety management tool to help children refocus their thoughts. Many children with anxiety struggle to identify where their worries are coming from and therefore struggle to let go of a worry. They may then hold onto a small worry causing their anxiety to build throughout the day. These little worry friends can help some children try let go of their worry by passing their worry onto their little friend to help them out
