Today’s craft accidentally looked a little familiar 🌵💚

This sweet friend painted a wooden cactus during speech therapy and then excitedly noticed it looked just like our clinic logo! We love moments like these that highlight creativity, observation skills, and pride in their work.

A feeding therapy session that was out of this world
🪐☄️🌎✨

We love using a child’s special interests in therapy and can’t emphasize enough how powerful it is for engagement, regulation, and overall progress 💪

When a child is motivated and connected to what we’re doing they’re more willing to explore, interact, and build confidence with new foods in a way that feels safe and meaningful 💙

This kiddo is fascinated by planets, so the feeding session turned into a solar system adventure! Foods were arranged to represent the planets orbiting the sun, complete with dwarf planets and even the asteroid belt👏

A overall great example of how a simple plate of food can turn into curiosity and hands-on exploration to help support tolerance, flexibility, and positive mealtime experiences through play 💫

✨ Did you know? ✨ Handwriting isn’t just about “holding a pencil.” It requires coordination of visual processing, motor planning, posture, attention, and fine motor control all working together at once! ✏️ ✍️📝 Do you have concerns about handwriting? An OT evaluation may be helpful! Give us a call at 480-704-5954 📞

Posterior walker highlight! ✨👣

A posterior walker is a gait trainer positioned behind the child instead of in the front - which helps to encourage a more natural walking pattern and improved upright posture.

Posterior walkers can also help to build:
- Balance
- Strength and endurance
- Trunk control
- Step length
- Coordination
- Overall independence, confidence and efficiency with walking

All smiles over here! 😁

Scooter board + horizontal rope pulls = a fun way to target core strength, upper body strength, motor planning, bilateral coordination, functional mobility and endurance during a PT session!! 💪🛴💥💥
