I'm excited to announce our Continuing Ed series in connection with Wayne County. These are no cost, inclusive, and geared toward related service providers, preschool teachers, and childcare teachers with a focus on the challenges we face every day. Our inaugural session will be November 16th from 6-8 pm and will include a light dinner and networking, as well as a Keynote presentation by Tara Saucier, OTR/L, and Alison Agosti, MA CCC-SLP regarding feeding challenges, especially for children who don't eat all day at school or daycare. Please RSVP to save your spot.

I've been working on something behind the scenes, and I can't wait to share it with you all.

Lets talk about the eyes for a moment- the muscles that stabilize and move the eyes are core muscles, so if you're seeing compensatory sitting postures (i.e. w-sitting, low kneeling or modified half kneel), take a look at the eyes, because if the core is weak or has limited stamina, then the same would be true for the eye muscles.

Often a child will present as very active- movement is their STRENGTH. They are constantly on the move. They may do laps around the periphery of a space, especially if it is a new space for them. They may create a "route" and repeatedly travel that route. They might be on their tiptoes sometimes, or seem completely unaware of obstacles in their path- they just kind of plow through the space. They often climb up onto furniture and may lack safety awareness.

These are the kids that I make sure to look at visual motor function- Can they visually track in ALL directions while keeping their head and body still (in other words- can they scan a new space in order to know they are safe while their body remains in one place)? Can they keep their eyes focused on where they want to go while their body is in motion, OR once they're moving does it become a little bit of a "Jesus take the wheel" moment?

Have you noticed this? What else can you add to this discussion?

What does a pediatric PT session look like? We move A LOT! We use familiar tools like scooterboards, balance beams, cones and rings. We may use less familiar tools like a vibration plate, swings, steps, or a big peanut ball. Sessions feel like play but are designed specifically for your child's needs.

Returning to tummy time throughout childhood is so important to build strength in their postural muscles and to support coordination of their eye muscles, which is necessary for learning literacy and math, as well as eye hand and eye foot coordination.

A preview of After School Club’s activity plan for today

10/08/2026

When a baby begins to walk and loses their balance they typically fall down- either forward onto their hands or backward onto their diaper. As their balance matures, they start to take a step to catch their balance, and then they begin to use their shoulders, than their hips, and finally their ankles and feet. Those balance responses become more refined, and less visible to the untrained eye. Finally the body begins to anticipate a balance challenge and make a "correction" before it needs to use a reactionary response.
