So proud of you. 🥳🎉💝

Hello April 🌷☀️

A sneak peek to how much fun our kids are having in OT!

This game by is so engaging and works on developing foundational pre writing skills, fine motor skills as well as socials skills.

Has anyone seen a more delicious burrito?! This little girl is loving the feeling of being wrapped in a yoga mat.

Sometimes kids aren’t ready to sit and pay attention due to their sensory needs. Children may benefit from this sensory strategy if they love crashing activities, jumping, spinning, bumping into things, or rolling in the floor over and over again.

Let us know in the comments if you have tried this strategy before 👇🏻💙

Big congrats to our friend on his occupational therapy graduation! 🥳 We are so proud of all your hard work!!! Way to go buddy! 🙌

Before, During & After

What reflexes do you see retained here?

After max tactile cues, he independently sustained head in midline, which will help develop attention, visual skills such as tracking and peripheral vision, posture, bilateral coordination (using 2 hands efficiently), endurance and more!

Contact us for an OT screening for your child if you have any concerns with the skills mentioned above ☎️

Struggling with tearful haircuts? 👶💇‍♂️ Discover how occupational therapy can turn those frowns upside down! Here’s why OT is your go-to solution for happier haircut experiences:

- Sensory integration techniques: Helping your child manage sensory input like touch, sound, and movement during haircuts.

“We appreciate the approach Coastal Pediatrics has towards therapy. They are very "child-led" and my daughter really enjoys both her speech and OT sessions. We have been to other providers, who had a more compliance-based approach, and the compassion shown by Coastal therapists makes all the difference!” ~ Nicole Colichio

“I cannot express enough how grateful we are to have been connected with Coastal Therapy. You have all been such a blessing to our family. From the moment you walk in, you will be greeted with a smile and kindness. The communication, compassion, and love for what they do is very apparent.

When we first began our journey here our son was just 2. He has worked with Mrs. Danny for the majority of our time here, and she will forever hold a spot in ours and our son's heart forever! She is truly an amazing person. I always go back to the beginning, what seems so silly now was a huge obstacle at the time, but not wearing shoes and allowing his bare feet to be on the floor. This may seem small to some, but this was the beginning of many strides for him. He is now working with Mrs. Brook and he quickly warmed up to her. She has been so patient and sweet to him. We already love her too! She is such a bubbly, bright, compassionate person. These therapists and this office are with a doubt the reason my son has made the incredible progress he has. We are so blessed to have these wonderful people in his corner. You would be in great hands with any one of therapists at this office! Thank you for all you guys do!” ~ Leslie Meyer
