Before this occupation, I too found it very difficult in public to react towards people with special needs in ways that are both caring and would seem “normal”
Having my own children seeing friends with special needs coming in and out of the practice gave us the opportunity to normalise disability for them
I’ve asked the parents of some of these friends to give advise on what you can say to your own children when seeing other children with disabilities in public settings.

It’s Cerebral Palsy awareness month! To all my little friends and their parents living with CP- you inspire me to look at life differently.
A reminder to those who do not know the condition- it’s a brain problem, making it exceptionally difficult to simply just improve- these kids work very very hard to train their brains, not train their bodies a many would think
MAES Therapy

Let’s be kind and see beyond arms and legs and see other amazing abilities our CP friends have

Thank you Instopp for yet another insightful mentorship session. Today was about Postnatal Mental Health and the role of the OT and it hit in a very deep place. One thought came to mind, as I am not an OT Working in Mental Health but rather in the Pediatric field-

If the Mom’s of our country were healthier and more whole, our children might also be healthier and happier

👶🏼👶🏿👶🏽(Typical) Development is more like a river than a ladder👶🏽👶🏿👶🏼

The comment above changed my approach to early development, both as a mom and as a therapist. It changed the way in which I viewed children- giving them space to develop their ebb and flow and curves of their river when they are neurologically ready.

Upon completing a course in neuro-development and movement analysis in 2021 my focus shifted entirely from knowing which movements are necessary and perfomed to WHY children are moving and the QUALITY with which they are performing those movements.
For me this meant not viewing a young, developing child through the lenses of “what is to come next”, but rather what their movements are communicating about where they are now and what they will need to continue developing their river.

There are certainly physical and neurological hindrances to development and that requires intervention. Should your baby have a need for such intervention you are welcome to give me a call 📞
