25.01.2022 A heartfelt read.....please share to spread the word! A.D.H.D. Take my hand and come with me, I want to teach you about ADHD.... I need you to know, I want to explain, I have a very different brain. Sights, sounds, and thoughts collide. What to do first? I can't decide. Please understand I'm not to blame, I just can't process things the same. Take my hand and walk with me, Let me show you about ADHD. I try to behave, I want to be good, But I sometimes forget to do as I should. Walk with me and wear my shoes, You'll see its not the way I'd choose. I do know what I'm supposed to do, But my brain is slow getting the message through. Take my hand and talk with me, I want to tell you about ADHD. I rarely think before I talk, I often run when I should walk. It's hard to get my school work done, My thoughts are outside having fun. I never know just where to start, I think with my feelings and see with my heart. Take my hand and stand by me, I need you to know about ADHD. It's hard to explain but I want you to know, I can't help letting my feelings show. Sometimes I'm angry, jealous, or sad, I feel overwhelmed, frustrated, and mad. I can't concentrate and I lose all my stuff. I try really hard but it's never enough. Take my hand and learn with me, We need to know more about ADHD. I worry a lot about getting things wrong, Everything I do takes twice as long. Everyday is exhausting for me... Looking through the fog of ADHD. I'm often so misunderstood, I would change in a heartbeat if I could. Take my hand and listen to me, I want to share a secret about ADHD. I want you to know there is more to me. I'm not defined by it, you see. I'm sensitive, kind and lots of fun. I'm blamed for things I haven't done. I'm the loyalist friend you'll ever know, I just need a chance to let it show. Take my hand and look at me, Just forget about the ADHD. I have real feelings just like you. The love in my heart is just as true. I may have a brain that can never rest, But please understand I'm trying my best. I want you to know, I need you to see, I'm more than the label, I am still me!!!! ~Author Unknown Copy and paste this as your status if u know someone with A.D.H.D or know the struggle yourself. When people tell you it's an excuse just read them this!

15.01.2022 Fine Tuning Occupational Therapy would like to extend a warm welcome to its newest member of the team, Emilie. Meet Emilie! Hi everyone! My name is Emilie and I am very excited to be joining the team at Fine Tuning Occupational Therapy!... I am an energetic occupational therapist with a passion for paediatrics. I completed my masters degree in Occupational Therapy in 2015, after which I worked in a specialized school for children and young adults with autism spectrum disorder and intellectual disabilities. I also worked in a private clinic providing school readiness activities for younger children. Prior to graduating I worked in summer camps for children with physical disabilities and have taught a wide range of sports to children of all ages (alpine skiing, water-skiing, swimming and dancing). I love to let my imagination run wild and believe that laughter is always the best remedy! I strive to make therapy fun and engaging and am a firm believer in the collaborative approach, working alongside families, teachers and other healthcare professionals in order to reach your childs full potential. Outside of OT I enjoy an active lifestyle including hiking and camping and have a passion for traveling and exploring the world. I look forward to getting to know your children and am excited to help them achieve their goal Emilie

06.01.2022 Hi guys, so we exploring sensory systems today with water beads but wanted to show you how this simple activity can be used as both a sensory experience but very easily for sorting, colour discrimination as well as visual. We put stickeez (thanks Coles) inside and had to find them amindst the distracting beads, we sorted for colour (white), we worked in pincer grip and midline by picking out individual beads and placing them on a lid on the non dominant side of the body and so much more...for some kids just putting their hands in this tub would be overwhelming but imagine if they had to do it to rescue their favorite .....dinosaur?
