Waking up on time, picking out clothes, brushing teeth, combing hair, getting dressed, eating enough breakfast, remembering homework, listening to the teacher, getting along with peers, having fun at recess…. do these tasks and activities remind you of anything?

It’s back to school time here in the Region!

Some kids thrive from the structure school brings, and others need alllll the leisure time over summer break to decompress from the school year.

Changes in routine can bring a lot of stress for kids and families, even if it’s excitement! Whether your child is excited, or a little nervous to go back, occupational therapy is here to help with all the things that go into being a successful and happy student. Interested in OT just in time for school? Give us a call today!

Happy Father’s Day to all of our wonderful dads and father figures!

There are dads whose children will never remember every sacrifice they made.

But those children will spend the rest of their lives benefiting from them.

Happy Father’s Day. 🤍

Coregulation! https://www.theottoolbox.com/co-regulation/

The definition of co-regulation is– the ability to regulate emotions and behaviors to soothe and manage stressing internal sensory input or external situations, with the support and direction of a connecting individual. Co-regulation is nurturing connection of another individual that supports regulation needs through the use of strategies, tools, and calming techniques in order to self-soothe or respond in times of stress.

Co-regulation and self-regulation are part of the developmental process. In order to move from a co-existing place to a place of independence, the child needs to develop emotional intelligence and social emotional learning. All of this is part of typical development.

April is Autism Acceptance and Awareness month, and we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to celebrate and recognize our friends with autism brains!

Autistic people deserve the right to live, work, play, learn and feel in a way that is authentic to them. We have come so far, but still have so long to go!

This month (and all months) one of the best things we can do is listen to the perspectives of autistic people. One of those perspectives is that most people in this population prefer the term “autistic person” rather than “person with autism” because the latter implies that autism is bad. The more we commit to learning the better we can do! Happy Autism Awareness Month!
