Kids engage in a multitude of activities that contribute to their holistic development. From playtime and attending school to participating in academic activities, hobby classes, and skill development programs, children are constantly enriching their lives. In addition, they actively engage in sports, personal chores, and learn essential life skills while also focusing on building relationships. These diverse experiences play a crucial role in shaping well-rounded individuals. And that is why Pediatric Occupational Therapy is my passion as it gives us an opportunity to shape the future of humankind! #ChildDevelopment #HolisticLearning

A child’s role in life is to play and interact with other children. Our pediatric occupational therapists evaluate a child’s current skills related to play, school performance, and daily activities to determine if they are developing appropriately for their age group. Our OTs help kiddos learn to perform any challenging daily activities by addressing sensory, social, behavioral, motor, and environmental issues. . . #squarepegtherapies #roleinlife #childrenplay #pediatrictherapists #occupationaltherapy #playperformance #schoolperformance #dailyactivityperformance #developingappropriately #sensoryissues #socialissues #behavioralissues #motorissues #environmentalissues

The Unbeatable Combination of Occupational Therapy and Forest Education with Marika Austin and Angela Rosenberg You all know I like a good analogy, so I'm going to say that the duo of Marika and Angela reminds me of the hero's of my comic book days, when I was a collector. I'd mow lawns for my neighbors, and then ride my bike six miles into town to buy my week's new issues. One of my favorites was the Marvel Team-Up comic, where two heros who don't usually 'hero' together do what they do best, and take care of business. Spider-Man and Daredevil. Wolverine and Iron Fist. It was a 'golden age' of comics back then. Well, seriously, this marriage of occupational therapy and early childhood education in nature is just so SOLID. There are no weaknesses in their game. And Marika and Angela have teamed up despite the long distance between their Bay Area of California and Florida locations. Our conversation covers WHY the approaches of OT is so effective for young people. We dig into the detailed observations that therapists see in their students, and how it adds a powerful dimension to more traditional 'forest school' reporting. The medical field adds credibility to our nature based approaches that opens doors, gets attention and creates opportunities that help all of us doing nature work everywhere. It's a good idea to know about it!
