In today’s classrooms, the word inclusion is used often—and for good reason.
Every child deserves the opportunity to learn, participate, and feel accepted for who they are.
But inclusion can sometimes feel challenging when a student “can’t sit still.”
In many classrooms, students are introduced to the concept of whole body listening.However, for many kids—especially those who are neurodivergent, have sensory processing differences, or simply learn in diverse ways—whole body listening can actually be counterproductive.
Excessive screen time has raised concerns regarding children’s physical, cognitive, sensory, and emotional development.
Pediatric occupational therapists (OTs) play a vital role in helping families establish healthy screen time habits while promoting essential sensory-motor activities for overall development.
Inclusion is more than just a policy—it’s a practice that shapes the culture of a classroom.
For all students, meaningful inclusion goes beyond physical placement in a general education room.
It’s about ensuring all students have the tools, supports, and opportunities to truly participate in daily classroom life.
When classrooms embrace inclusion, everyone benefits.
Parenting in the digital age is both a blessing and a challenge. With just a few clicks, parents can access endless blogs, social media posts, videos, and expert opinions about raising children. While this wealth of information can be helpful, it can also feel overwhelming, confusing, and sometimes contradictory.
When people hear “occupational therapy” (OT), they often think about young children developing motor skills or older adults recovering from injury.
However, occupational therapy is just as valuable for teenagers and post-graduate students navigating the challenges of school, independence, and transitioning into adult life.
In classrooms everywhere, teachers and staff often ask occupational therapists to help when a student is “not paying attention.”
Sometimes, however, what adults describe as an “attention problem” is really about compliance—whether or not the child is following directions.
Interoception is a term you might not hear every day, but it plays a crucial role in how we understand and respond to our own bodies.
In a world where milestones, academic achievement, and structured learning seem to matter earlier and earlier, it’s easy to forget one of the most powerful tools we have for supporting a young child’s development: play.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is beginning to reshape the way we assess, plan, and support occupational therapy interventions — opening up exciting possibilities for both therapists and families.
