April is Occupational Therapy (OT) Month, a time to raise awareness about the OT profession, celebrate the achievements of occupational therapists, and highlight the profound impact they have on the lives of their clients. This year\u2019s theme, \u201cInspiring Hope, Changing Lives,\u201d is especially meaningful to us at Hope Services!<\/p>\n
OT Month is also an opportunity to celebrate our very own OTs at Children and Family Services (CFS)\u2014Alexis, Atty, Alison, Diane, and Gigi\u2014who make an incredible difference in the lives of their clients through their compassionate and caring approach to adaptive\/self-care, fine motor skills, and sensory development.<\/p>\n
Our OTs support families with their fine motor and adaptive development \u2013 skills like holding and manipulating toys, scribbling and drawing, feeding themselves, dressing, and so much more \u2013 and our multi-disciplinary team through consultation and training. \u00a0They may address and help a family understand sensory motor and regulatory concerns that impact their child\u2019s development and may help families to advocate for and pursue durable medical equipment or medical intervention, like feeding therapy, when needed. \u00a0During April and throughout the year, CFS is proud to celebrate Alexis, Atty, Alison, Diane, and Gigi and the expertise, knowledge, and thoughtfulness they bring to our team and the families that we work with!<\/p>\n
Happy OT Month!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
