April is Occupation Therapy Month so we are spending this month highlighting the discipline and some of our practitioners at All Aboard Therapy.
So, what is occupational therapy? Occupational therapy addresses a wide range of skills across the lifespan to promote success in the activities or “occupations” that are meaningful to a specific person. Maria Montessori once said, “Play is the work of a child” and play is certainly one of the occupations that our practitioners regularly promote with our pediatric clients. Other meaningful activities include: self-feeding, dressing, using writing tools, strategies for regulation, and so much more! April is Occupational Therapy Month. We are so grateful for all of our practitioners who provide occupational therapy to our outpatient and birth to three clients. What each of you do is nothing short of great, but the long lasting impact you have on the lives you serve is even greater.
We will spend a lot of the month sharing more about what occupational therapists do and sharing about our wonderful occupational therapy practitioners too! Happy OT Month! April is Autism Acceptance Month and yesterday was Autism Acceptance Day. Check out these posts to learn a little bit about Autism Spectrum Disorder and the Celebrate Differences Campaign. On the last page, you’ll find a few of many resources to further your awareness about Autism and resources for families. There are several local resources in the area, including an online guide for families navigating an Autism diagnosis and locating any resources that could be helpful while exploring what is the best path for your family.
WV CARES for Autism and the Autism Services Center are both hosting walks later this month to help fundraise for the services they are able to provide to families. Be sure to check them out and sign up if you are able to. You may see some All Aboard Therapy practitioners out there walking to help promote awareness and acceptance. |
