ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE 💕 , USBORNE BOOKS AND OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY!

Sensational Living is excited 😊 to NOW offer USBORNE books as a sensational resource!

USBORNE books have been selected as one of our foundational products given their long standing industry leadership in children’s publishing. They’re known worldwide for their quality, creativity and are a proven inspiration to readers young and old!

I’ve always loved USBORNE books personally. As a parent of two (now adult boys), my kids grew up with these books. Indeed, I still have them in my personal library and can’t seem to part with them 🥴. And, as an Occupational Therapist, they’re a wonderful source of stimulation and learning for clients and a much requested home therapy resource for parents. Learning and therapy becomes less like work when children are having fun🥳 and are engaged!

One of the best things about Usborne books is that there’s something to interest every age including adults.

You can even explore and order new books for your children, grandchildren, daycare, classroom or clinic! Check out the online USBORNE catalogue at:

https://usbornebooksathome.ca/parties/13093

Please contact me directly at [email protected] if you need help ordering the right learning resource for your child, or to schedule your own personal USBORNE e-party with your circle of friends/co-workers to enjoy greater💰savings and free books 😲!

WHY CHILDREN WON’T EAT Part II

According to Dr. Kay A. Toomey, the developer of the SOS*Approach to Feeding, “Eating is, in reality a learned behaviour. Just as children learn to eat, so can children be taught to NOT eat by the circumstances of their lives” (When Children Won’t Eat: Understanding the “Why’s and How to Help, by Kay A. Toomey, Ph.D.

The second step in understanding your child’s eating difficulties is for you, your child and the Feeding Therapist to figure out how they learned not to eat.

Using the principals of SOS your Sensational Living Feeding Therapist will assess the underlying causes of the child’s eating problems including: sensory, oral motor, behavioural, and medical factors. A medical history, sensory questionnaire and an eating evaluation or utilized in this assessment process.

Please contact your Sensational Living Occupational Therapist for more information on eating therapy.

Welcome to Sensational Living - Occupational Therapy. We're excited to announce that we're now open for in-home bookings for pediatric Occupational Therapy services!

Arlene Jachak is a registered Occupational Therapist with more than 25 years of clinical experience. Sensational Living offers innovative in-home sessions that make sense for many families for health, scheduling, and/or practical reasons, including the current COVID pandemic.

What better way to work with your child than in a setting where they spend considerable time? This enables the therapist and parent(s) to develop more practical and meaningful therapeutic interventions. Through this approach, your child receives the same high quality treatment and support in a home setting!

Sensational Living can also facilitate access to select books, games and resources. This serves to benefit parents, clinicians, and educators with tools that can be tailored to their specific learning environment.

We'd love to hear from you to jointly determine if your child may benefit from our Occupational Therapy services. Mrs. J😊
