There's a saying that I'm sure you've heard of before that goes "If you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. If you teach a man to fish, you feed him for a lifetime".
A huge part of being an occupational therapist is educating our clients & communities.
We believe the more our communities understand how children who have unique challenges operate, the better equipped they are to support them - which relates back to our mission: To create a community that understands the power of sensory & is equipped with the resources they need to build environments where children can thrive.
Does your business or company serve children & families? Then without a doubt, I am 100% confident you will benefit from hosting a workshop. Below I have brainstormed a handful of businesses that can benefit from our services, but really the opportunities are endless.

We like to spice up our workshops by incorporating interactive demonstrations & movement breaks into the flow as much as possible. Why be boring when it can be fun?!
In the past we have led workshops on sensory processing, fine motor & gross motor development, self regulation, the power of play, incorporating movement in the classroom, and when to seek a screening or an OT evaluation.
Here are a few ideas -
How to make your business more inclusive.
How to support children with autism at your company.
How to handle a meltdown (& what it means).
How to build environments where children with unique wiring can feel safe.
How to read a child's behavior to understand their needs.
Understanding what certain code words mean.
On average our workshops last 1 - 3 hours long.
We can do both, so whatever is best for you!
