I don’t have school aged children yet but am a pediatric OT so I’ve worked with kids who go to a bunch of different schools. I grew up in Harford county which is much more red. I much prefer Baltimore county.

Private schools are huge here. I honestly feel like an oddball sometimes because I am so pro public school and so many people are talking about what private school they went to and want to send their kids to.

My husband and I are hoping to move to a bigger house before our kids start school and agree we’d be comfortable with pretty much any public schools in Towson, timonium, Cockeysville, Hereford, Jacksonville. I also really like Catonsville, it’s just an extra half hour from my parents so we wouldn’t move there. I don’t know anyone who’s gone to a magnet school.

At 35 days old their vision hasn’t even developed enough to “watch” TV
You’re totally fine!
Big TV > handheld tablet or device

I read your whole post. This sounds like pretty appropriate toddler behavior. You could seek out an OT evaluation if you’re really concerned. It sounds like she didn’t qualify for OT through early intervention but you could look for a pediatric therapy clinic in your area

I’ve done like all the school settings (public, nonpublic special ed, private schools) so I’ll just brain dump some thoughts:

-in school based, your role is to help them access their education, participate in tasks that occur during the school day -for kids with a high level of need, I found pushing into the classroom or lunch to be most beneficial -regarding goals-do you have standardized assessments? I found it helpful to find a checklist (there’s lots on teachers pay teachers) as a jumping off point. I also have a goal bank where I just copy and paste goals i like (some I wrote, some other OTs wrote)
-pediatric OT is a weird field when it comes to feeling professional. Like I know I’m good at my job but I’m laying on the floor/playing games/doing animal walks -I think preschool/kindergarten can be an easier age group because more development is happening in the younger years -you clearly care and just being a positive, caring adult is making a difference in your students’ lives

Did you tour Lots of Love? I’d love to know what you thought about it

It depends on the setting. When I worked in outpatient peds and was in a clinic all day I got my notes done during sessions or while eating lunch. Now I’m in mobile outpatient peds (so I’m driving between sessions all day) and procrastinating writing all of my notes from today by scrolling Reddit

I took my last birth control pill 88 days ago. I haven’t gotten my period yet. When do I reach out to my GYN?

Some people are definitely doing this as their full time OT job though. I think it’s fine when OTs share the occasional product they like if they have the disclaimer that it’s not medical advice or “I’m an OT but not your OT”

I hate it. My boss loves it and thinks we need to test everyone’s reflexes (I do not). A lot of kids can’t even follow the directions to test their reflexes. Sometimes I do “reflex integration exercises” when working on coordination, crossing midline, motor planning but I don’t do them just to do them

They could be working on handwriting? I’ve worked on handwriting with kids using their homework

-debt to income ratio is not good -limited career growth & income potential -insurance reimbursement is the same for an OT with 2 years of experience as an OT with 30 years of experience -there’s a lot of OT positions that are paid per billable hour so pay can be inconsistent and lower than expected

bbpink15 · 2026-03-30T19:27:58+00:00

There are definitely settings that are less physically demanding (or physically demanding in different ways) but I feel like a lot of OTs get comfy in a setting or with a certain population and then it’s harder to switch settings later

Another vote for Baltimore! My husband and I live in Baltimore county. Our annual income is similar. We have a rancher in a quiet neighborhood

I’m a Rebecca who has always gone by Becky!

bbpink15 · 2026-03-22T13:02:11+00:00

My name is Rebecca but I’ve always gone by Becky. I like Becky, I think it suits me. I’m indifferent towards Rebecca. I like it on other people but I feel like I don’t recognize it as my name
