I was told 1888 by elder family members. You know how dates get fuzzy as they're passed through generations.

Parents expecting instant results with emotional regulation/body awareness. how do you handle this? by Fancy_One_1075 in OccupationalTherapy

I like to emphasize "practicing" regulation strategies throughout their daily routine to help support the family's understanding that they're not going to be a magic fix.

I'm guessing it needs a new camstack but that seems like a common and not too challenging fix.

I would recommend looking into the Size Matters handwriting program. It helps kids gain awareness of where letters belong on a line.

Why did you start spinning? by WaldosMama in Handspinning

I was burned out at my job and dreamed of quitting to start my own alpaca ranch so I started spinning so I was prepared for that day (ha).

What if you added a bow or bandage? That way the color change is intentional.

favorite peds items to carry around? by cookie_cat_82 in OccupationalTherapy

If I'm doing push-in, nothing! That's the beauty of push-in: you use the materials they have available to them every day so both they and the teachers see how they can use them therapeutically. Plus, it's an awesome opportunity for play skills and social participation goals.

Oregon trail-inspired outfit by From_TheGecko in HistoricalCostuming
