Teacher Cy - Occupational Therapist

Early detection & early intervention is key!!

It’s no secret that I loathe the wait and see approach - but I do think many parents don’t realize that they can seek evaluations without a referral or (adamantly) request referrals when “wait and see” is recommended.

ESPECIALLY if you (or anyone else) are concerned, a child is frustrated, or the child isn’t meeting milestones (check out my milestone guide on Instagram for more info!)

In the US: call early intervention for 0-3 and your school district for 3-21 for free evaluations, and you can also check with your insurance to see if and how much it covers for private therapy!

PLAY! PLAY! PLAY!

Magandang araw po!

Ang paglalaro ay mahalaga dahil ito ay nakakatulong sa pisikal at social-emotional development ng mga bata at kabataan.
Eto po ang part 3: "Recommended Play from Pediatricians to Parents"

Kung may mga alalahanin sa behavior ng inyong anak mag pa konsulta po sa isang Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrician!

Autism and ADHD can be difficult to distinguish- mostly because they often co-exist and have many overlapping components- but also because many people STILL think autism means anti-social (it doesn’t!).

I teamed up with to bring you the differences between the two conditions. Remember- if there is any question, a full evaluation should be completed to make a differential diagnosis and second opinions are always a good idea if you are unsure or uncomfortable with initial results!

Kadalasang nao-obserbahan sa mga batang may Autism. Ano nga ba ang stimming?

Yesterday I shared what stimming is and that it has a purpose- regulation. Stimming can look so many different ways that I could never make a full list of all of them, but here are some common stims.

Check out my stories for some real life examples- and remember, we are NOT stopping kids from Stimming. Even if we think it looks weird or think, “but what will other people think when they see this?” Instead, educate! “This is what he does to be able to focus”, “this is how they show they are excited”, “this helps her to regulate her emotions” - there’s NO shame in Stimming, but when we act like it’s bad, kids feel that - and then they feel bad for doing things that make them feel good. And we would NEVER want that for anyone!

Ano nga ba ang OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY?
Paano ba makakatulong ang OT sa mga anak ninyo?

Para sa mga katanungan, message niyo po kami.

OT is so beneficial for many kids (like my son Kam!) and I recommend it to parents all the time- but few people really know what OT - or Occupational Therapy - really is! So today I asked Occupational Therapy Love to help us out with some info about OT!

❤️ OT helps individuals live life to the fullest and promote independence and participation in daily activities that are meaningful and purposeful to each individual!

Apologies for those whom we have not responded to for the previous months.
We are now back with more slots available for occupational teletherapy sessions.
