What is Proprioception?

Proprioception is your body's ability to know where it is in space—without having to look! It's often called our "body awareness" sense.

When proprioception isn't working efficiently, children may:
🤸 Crash into people or furniture
💥 Play too rough without realizing it
✏️ Press too hard (or too lightly) when writing
🪑 Have difficulty sitting still
⚖️ Seem clumsy or uncoordinated
🧸 Seek jumping, climbing, pushing, or heavy work activities

💙 Occupational Therapy can help!

OTs use fun, play-based activities to improve body awareness and help children learn how much force their bodies need for everyday tasks. Therapy may include:
🛝 Obstacle courses
💪 Heavy work activities
🧩 Climbing, crawling, and jumping games
🎯 Balance and coordination activities
✏️ Fine motor tasks with the "just right" amount of pressure

When children have better body awareness, they often improve their attention, coordination, handwriting, self-regulation, and confidence.

📞 Contact Unified Therapy today at 319-352-1234 or email us at [email protected] to learn how Occupational Therapy can help your child thrive.

Is your preschooler ready for school? Speech Therapy can help!

Between ages 3–5, children develop the communication skills they need to learn, play, and thrive in the classroom.

By kindergarten, children should be building skills like:
🗣️ Speaking in complete sentences
👂 Following 2-3 step directions
❓ Answering "who," "what," "where," and "why" questions
📚 Recognizing rhyming words and beginning letter sounds
🤝 Taking turns and participating in conversations
💬 Clearly expressing their wants, needs, and ideas

If your child is struggling in any of these areas, early intervention can make a big difference!

At Unified Therapy, our Speech-Language Pathologists help children build the confidence and communication skills they need for a successful start in school.

📞 Same week appointments and FREE developmental screens available! Contact us at 319-352-1234 or via email at [email protected] today to learn more.

💵 Money management is a life skill—and Occupational Therapy can help build it!

Occupational Therapy can help individuals learn to:
🪙 Identify coins and bills
🛒 Understand the value of money
💳 Practice budgeting and making purchases
🧾 Count change and use payment methods
📋 Follow a shopping list and compare prices
🧠 Build the executive functioning skills needed for independent living

Whether your child is learning basic money concepts or your teen is preparing for greater independence, OT helps turn everyday financial tasks into real-life successes.

Meet Our Team: Leah, Billing Specialist!

Behind every therapy visit is a team working to help families access the care they need—and we're excited to introduce Leah, one of our dedicated Billing Specialists!

📍 Hometown: Waterloo | Lives in Clarksville
👧👦 Proud mom to Thiel and Lore
☀️ Loves spending time outdoors, especially by the pool
🚗 Always up for a road trip and exploring new gravel roads
📚 Enjoys a good book, crime series, or working on a puzzle
🫒 Favorite color: Olive green
🍣 Favorite food: Sushi

❤️ Why Leah Loves What She Does:
"As a Billing Specialist, I lead the process of requesting prior authorizations through families' insurance providers. Every approved authorization represents an opportunity for a child to receive essential therapy services that can improve their development, independence, and quality of life. Navigating insurance can be overwhelming, so knowing my work takes one more thing off a family's plate and helps them gain access to care gives my role meaningful purpose. It's rewarding to know families can rely on me to help ensure children receive the support they need without unnecessary delays."

Leah works behind the scenes to make sure families can focus on what matters most—their child's growth and success. We're so thankful for the care, dedication, and compassion she brings to our team every day!

I heard you... I just didn't process it.

Children with Auditory Processing Disorder (APD) usually have normal hearing, but their brains have difficulty making sense of what they hear. This can make everyday listening and learning more challenging.

Signs of APD may include:
🔹 Frequently asking, "What?"
🔹 Difficulty following multi-step directions
🔹 Trouble understanding speech in noisy environments
🔹 Misunderstanding what was said
🔹 Challenges with reading, spelling, or remembering verbal information

🗣️ Speech Therapy can help! Our Speech-Language Pathologists work on listening strategies, language skills, auditory memory, and processing techniques to help children succeed at home, in school, and in everyday conversations.

💙 If your child struggles to understand what they hear, Unified Therapy is here to help—with appointments available to get started. Call or email today to schedule a same week evaluation with our team!
