These are 5 toys I recommend over and over again as a pediatric OTA and mom of two!✌️🧩

The options that I love most are the ones kids genuinely want to play with, while providing plenty of opportunities to support development along the way.

These five toys check both of those boxes, and can be used in completely different ways depending on the child, the day, and the goal we’re working toward. Do you have any favorite toys as an OT practitioner? Let me know what your top five are in the comments!

There’s something so satisfying about finding a research article that makes you immediately think, “Wow, more people working in occupational therapy need to know about this!” 🗂️💡

That was a big part of what inspired Episode 419! I wanted to pull together some of those hidden gems and share the research that has caught my attention lately across pediatric OT practice.

Now I want to hear what you’ve been reading. 👀

If there’s an article you think deserves a closer look, comment below, tag us, or send it our way via DM. I’d love to keep adding to the list!

A update from All Things Sensory! 🩵🎙️

Life is looking extra full this fall between starting a homeschool journey, celebrating a wedding, and bringing my new weighted vest back to life with Harkla! That means we’re pressing pause on recording new episodes for a little while as our team finds its footing in this busy season.

I’ll be back soon with new episodes (and probably plenty of homeschool stories 😅). Make sure you’re subscribed so you don’t miss what’s next, and follow along here for updates in the meantime!

Primitive reflexes and reading performance… there’s research on that! 📚🔎

In this clip from my last podcast episode, I’m sharing this study that looked at using primitive reflex based activities consistently in the classroom and the changes researchers observed in students’ reading scores.

Articles like this are exactly why I wanted to put this episode together! There is so much research out there that can help us ask better questions and think more critically about what we are seeing in pediatric OT practice. In the full episode, I’m breaking down several of the papers I keep coming back to in 2026 and sharing the takeaways I think are worth knowing. 🧠✨

Somehow along the way, a passion for everything sensory turned into a podcast, multiple businesses, a community of OT professionals, and a world of lessons I definitely did not learn in school! 🎙️

Today, I’m still just as excited to learn, teach, and share the things that make pediatric OT practice a little easier to navigate.

Consider this your sign to care a LOT about your niche. It might just turn into a pretty amazing life! ✨

The most important tool you bring into a session might be you. 🩵

Activities, strategies, and treatment ideas absolutely matter, but the way we connect with a child, read the moment, and adjust our approach can make an even bigger difference.

This reminder from Rachel is a good one for every OT practitioner: developing your therapeutic use of self starts with being willing to look inward, reflect, and keep growing alongside the kids you support. 🌱

Hey OT practitioners! 👋 Are you passionate about evidence-based practice? Looking for your next research article? 📖🩵

In today’s new episode of the podcast, I share some of the research papers I am recommending most often right now to pediatric OT practitioners and quickly overviewing why they’ve been so valuable in my own clinical practice.

The papers range in topic, and we will cover research on sensory processing, primitive reflexes, ADHD, interoception, proprioception, and more, along with the key takeaways from each article and why I think they’re worth adding to your TBR list.

Comment “419” below and we’ll send the link with all the research recommendations straight to your DMs! 🎧
