Grownups - you can hack your day with a sensory diet too! 🙌
Just like kids, adults benefit from activities that support focus, emotional regulation, and task initiation.
This sensory diet menu for adults includes things you’re probably already doing—just a little more intentionally. Whether you’re working from home, managing a household, or juggling both, a few small shifts can help your nervous system stay regulated and ready.
Simple, realistic, and no Pinterest-perfect routine required. 💻🧺🌿🧠

Climbing dome with a twist! ⬆️⬇️
In this game, the kids respond to "over" and "under" while navigating a climbing dome—turning it into a full-body brain workout.
They're building hand-eye coordination, strengthening muscles, improving proprioception (body awareness), and practicing auditory processing by listening and turning instructions into action.
This kind of play builds confidence, coordination, and listening skills—plus, it’s just plain fun!

✨ Does your child struggle with changes in routine, working independently, or feeling overwhelmed? You're not alone—and there’s support.
This parent shared how executive function coaching helped them build confidence, improve focus, and better support their family. With compassionate and adaptive strategies, we help kids and caregivers develop the skills they need to thrive—like task initiation, time management, and organization.
We believe that when grownups feel empowered, kids benefit too. Let’s work together to build skills for home, school, and beyond.
"The therapist used tailored strategies to address challenges like time management, organization, and task initiation. Through engaging and practical exercises, I noticed significant improvements in my ability to plan, prioritize, and stay focused on daily tasks. This helped me build confidence to work on my children's skills. The therapist's approach was compassionate and adaptive, making the sessions both effective and enjoyable. I highly recommend this therapy for anyone struggling with executive function challenges at their home."

This colorful finger game packs in way more than meets the eye 👀🎨 Using UNO cards and matching colored dots, this student is working on finger isolation, visual processing, dexterity, sustained attention, and cognitive speed—all while having fun.
Activities like this are great before writing, reading, or any task that needs focus and fine motor control!

How many times have we heard a parent say “Calm down!” (or said it ourselves 🙋♀️)? It’s such a common reflex—but what if we shifted the goal? Instead of rushing to quiet the storm, we can help kids understand it. When we support children in feeling safe and seen in all their emotions, we’re laying the foundation for emotional intelligence that lasts a lifetime. Let’s prioritize connection over correction, and co-regulation before self-regulation. 💛✨

📝✨ Handwriting support is about more than just forming letters! ✨📝
This student discovered a game-changer: movement before homework = better focus, confidence, and handwriting! 🏃♂️💡
OT for handwriting goes beyond pencil grip—it’s about core strength, sensory regulation, attention, and executive function skills that all play a role in getting thoughts onto paper.
When we support the whole child, the results go beyond handwriting—they gain confidence in school and beyond. 💪📚

Nobody prepares you for the part of parenting where you hold it together for your kid—co-regulating through the meltdown, keeping things calm, making drop-off smooth… and then breaking down in your car the moment they’re inside. 💔💪
Parenting is hard work, emotionally and physically. If you’ve been there, just know—you’re not alone. ❤️
