Does your child seem to have a harder time with movement and coordination than other kids their age? šŸ¤”

Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) can affect a child's ability to perform everyday motor tasks. You may notice things like:

• Difficulty learning new physical skills
• Trouble with coordination or balance
• Frequent bumps, trips, or falls
• Difficulty with tasks like dressing, using utensils, or handwriting
• Avoiding sports or activities that involve movement

Every child develops differently, but persistent challenges with coordination can be worth discussing with a professional. šŸ’™ Pediatric therapy can help children develop strategies and skills that support greater confidence and participation in everyday activities.

What does an hour at Core & Cradle look like?

A place to learn, ask the questions on your mind, connect with other moms, and leave with practical information you can actually use. It’s a small, supportive group created for expecting and new moms navigating this season alongside their babies.

Six Wednesdays. One hour each week. Support for both of you.

There are a lot of misconceptions about AAC, and some of them can make families hesitant to explore it for their child.

Will it stop them from talking? Are they too young? Does using a device mean giving up on speech?

AAC can include picture boards, communication apps, and speech-generating devices, and it gives children another way to express what they want, need, think, and feel. It doesn’t have to replace speech. Communication is the goal, however it happens.

Our free AAC Myths vs. Facts guide breaks down common concerns and shares what families should know about AAC.

Comment ā€œAACā€ below and we’ll send the guide directly to you.

And remember: every child deserves a way to connect, communicate, and be heard.

As the end of the year approaches, now is a good time to take a look at your family's health insurance benefits. šŸ—“ļø

If you've already met your deductible, your child's therapy sessions could be covered at little to no additional cost depending on your specific insurance plan and benefits. šŸ’™

Don't let unused benefits go to waste! If your child has been recommended for therapy or you've been wondering whether an evaluation could be helpful, the end of the year may be a good time to explore your options.

There’s so much to prepare when a baby is on the way. But support shouldn’t stop once baby arrives.

Core & Cradle was created with both mom and baby in mind, bringing together guidance, connection, and support through this new chapter. We start October 14.

Registration is now open and space is limited to 10 moms.

Reading together can support your child’s language, but you don’t have to finish every page or read every word for story time to count.

Sometimes the best moments happen when your child points to the same picture again, wants to go back a page, interrupts with a thought, or turns the story into a completely different conversation.

The way you pause, respond, ask questions, build on their words, and connect the story to their world can make reading more interactive and meaningful.

Our free Reading Aloud That Actually Builds Language guide shares simple ways to turn story time into language-building time without taking the fun out of reading.

Comment ā€œSTORY TIMEā€ below and we’ll send the guide directly to you.

And remember: you don’t have to read the book perfectly. Follow their curiosity, enjoy the moment, and let the conversation unfold.

You prepared for your baby. But who prepared you?

Introducing Core & Cradle, a 6-week series created to support both sides of this new chapter: for mom, for baby.

Together with Active Health Solutions, Skills on the Hill is bringing moms practical guidance and support for the questions that come with pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and caring for a new baby. From infant development, feeding, and handling to core recovery, pelvic health, and postpartum well-being, we’re creating a space where moms can learn, ask questions, and feel more confident along the way.

October 14 – November 18, 2026
Wednesdays | 12:00–1:00 PM
Skills on the Hill | Arlington, VA
