🌟 Meet Miss Hannah🌟

Hannah is the newest occupational therapist joining our pediatric team at Prairie Grit Therapy.

She earned her Doctorate in Occupational Therapy from the University of North Dakota. Her training and fieldwork focused on fine motor development, sensory processing, self-care skills, emotional regulation, and play-based interventions with kids.

Hannah is ready to help children build the skills and confidence they need to thrive at home, at school, and everywhere in between.

Outside the clinic, you'll find her with family and friends, at the lake, or with a good book.
Welcome to the team, Hannah. 🧡

Miss Geena found a friend with the gardening itch. Time to get dirty.

Transplanting these seedlings into larger pots serves double duty. The pots feed our Gardening Group this summer. The work itself helps him with sensory regulation and pressure control.

That’s the “occupation” in occupational therapy. Hands in the dirt. Fingers learning how much pressure a tiny root ball can take. Real goals, real growth. 🧡

Surgery is on the calendar. The weeks before it matter more than most people realize.
Prehab is structured physical therapy in those weeks. Stronger muscles around the joint. Better range of motion. A body that walks into the operating room ready for what comes next.
Patients who prehab recover faster. They need less help at home. They return to daily life sooner. They report less post-op pain.
Four to six weeks gives your body real time to build. Start early.
Ask your surgeon for a prehab referral. Then call us to get on the schedule.

That's a wrap on the semester for our Little Gritters.
The spring semester with Miss Averi has come to a close and we're so proud of all these Little Gritters for their effort (and for being fun to hang with.)

Little Gritters Preschool is coming back this summer. We'll see you all then.

Caught the speech crew red-handed... accepting gifts they absolutely earned. 🧡
Miss Jorie, Miss Cassidy, and Miss Bianca spend their days turning sounds into words, words into sentences, and sentences into confidence.
Happy Better Hearing and Speech Month to three of our favorites.

Editors note: they absolutely INSISTED we take this photo.

The best things this summer won’t grow on a screen. They’ll grow here, with your kid’s hands in the dirt.
Join our summertime Occupational Therapy Garden Group and help us fill these gardens.
