Our Physical Therapists are also here to help your child succeed this school year by addressing motor skills! If you think your child can benefit from PT, call our office for a free screening.

It’s been awhile since we’ve done a #Favorites

It’s been awhile since we’ve done a #FavoritesFriday, featuring some of our therapists’ favorite activities & toys!

Today, our buddy is completing an obstacle course by marching through tires, climbing over a crash pad, & going into the ball pit in order to get a puzzle piece at the top of the club house! We love incorporating movement into activities to increase attention and facilitate gross motor skills.

Want to get your kiddo moving at home with an obstacle course?
🔹Pile up pillows to make a crash pad
🔹Stack blocks or books to step or jump over
🔹Use an old box to make a tunnel
🔹Line up hoola hoops to jump in & out of
🔹Make a course with sidewalk chalk outside

The start of the school year is quickly approachin

The start of the school year is quickly approaching, and our therapists can help to make the transition of going back to school a little easier for you and your kiddo!

Our Occupational Therapists address self-care skills, visual perceptual and visual motor skills, fine and gross motor skills, sensory processing, executive functioning, and social/play skills, which all play a big role in the classroom.

If you think your child can benefit from OT, call our office for a free screening!

It’s a sad day at the CPT, as we are saying “goodbye” to Ms. Robin! For the last 6 years, she has been the friendly face at the front window greeting everyone and helping answer your questions.

We are having some fun in the tunnel for #TherapyThursday. Our buddy is working on early language skills while completing a puzzle in the tunnel. Movement is a great way to keep our buddies engaged in an activity. We work on all of our therapy goals through PLAY! 👏🧩🎨🧸

It’s summertime but our buddies are still workin

It’s summertime but our buddies are still working on their literacy skills while also having fun! 📚📝 Have a reluctant reader or writer on your hands?...Our therapists can help!

📖 Our Speech Therapists utilize meaning-based strategies to improve reading comprehension, fluency, and accuracy. In this photo, our buddy is using context clues to identify vocabulary words to maintain the meaning of what she’s reading. Using different modalities of drawing pictures and writing also enhance her understanding of new vocabulary.

✏️ Our Occupational Therapists can address the handwriting and idea formation pieces of written language. OT addresses ideation, sentence structure, punctuation, capitalization, letter formation, line usage, and spacing to assist your child with writing tasks.

Happy 4th of July from the CPT! ❤️🤍💙🎆

Feeding requires many systems in the body to work

Feeding requires many systems in the body to work together, including motor and sensory systems. While eating requires many different motor movements of the lips, tongue, and jaw, it also requires processing and tolerating different food groups and food textures through taste, touch, sight, and smell.

Our Speech and Occupational Therapists are trained in addressing both sensory and motor aspects of feeding, and we make feeding therapy fun! Listed below are red flags to look out for with your toddlers. If you think your child can benefit from a free screening or feeding evaluation, call our office today.

〰️Lips open/mouth breathing
〰️Tongue visible at rest
