In a recent mealtimes session, one of our amazing OTs and their client used adaptive, kid safe knives to transform an everyday apple into a swan!

These knives are designed to have blunt or rounded tips and serrated edges, making it a great option for kids to grow their cutting skills and confidence in a lower risk environment.

What do different emotions look like? 🎨💛

One of our OTs recently explored different emotions with a child through drawing! This activity encouraged them to think about how different emotions might look and feel, supporting emotional awareness and helping to build their understanding of feelings in a creative way ✏️

Feelings can show up in our bodies too! ⭐️

This OT session focused on exploring different body cues and learning to recognise what our bodies might be telling us when we experience different emotions 🧠✨

Book Week fun! 📚✨

Our client loved Speechie Lauren’s Book Week costume so much that she requested the same hairstyle - matching braids included! 🎀🩵

We think it’s safe to say the matching look was a pretty big hit! ⭐️

We love these moments of connection, fun and shared interests that make therapy so special 💜

One of our OTs recently used this fun activity, integrating role play and a love of animals to create a fun, comfortable space for exploring emotions and practising regulation skills. By giving the animals different feelings and scenarios, they could explore those emotions through play! 💜✨
