Social Skills for Neurotypicals

January 8, 2023 The Occuplaytional Therapist Comments Off on Social Skills for Neurotypicals

When you start to frame autism, ADHD, or other neurodivergences as really and truly just a difference instead of a disorder… It leaves space for realizing things like how the “social skills” that we teach […]

“Make” Them Write

January 8, 2023 The Occuplaytional Therapist Comments Off on “Make” Them Write

Young children repeat the same thing over and over and over (like the same joke, the same observation, reading the same book, playing the same game…) because they are strengthening the connections in their brain […]

Crunchy Needs

January 5, 2023 The Occuplaytional Therapist Comments Off on Crunchy Needs

I noticed that I was struggling with eating the food that I had available for myself for lunch. When I thought about needing to get up and get my lunch, I would think of excuses […]

Wet Mess vs Dry Mess

December 31, 2022 The Occuplaytional Therapist Comments Off on Wet Mess vs Dry Mess

If you’re someone who would say “Oh, I can’t handle letting my kids make a mess! It stresses me out too much!” …Well, first step, let’s differentiate between “wet mess” and “dry mess”. These aren’t […]

Video Games

December 30, 2022 The Occuplaytional Therapist Comments Off on Video Games

On my recent post about children being developmentally ready for games with winning and losing, somebody asked me if the same information applied to video games, which was a great question. I think the umbrella […]
