Video

Thank you for sharing, Dana. This activity is amazing! Do you still have the slides please? The link in the description box doesn't work for me. I tried several times by directly clicking and copy paste it, but it says that the file doesn't exist. Could you please help update the link? Many thanks.

I'm 23 and autistic. I've been walking on my toes my whole life & didn't really notice it when I was very young. As I grew it didn't change anything at the time when running it made me feel like I ran faster. When watching this video, I at first thought I was the only one who walks like this I didn't know there were people out there who walks similar to me. I've never met another toe walker but it's good to hear. Glad I got to watch this video & learn more about it. Though sometimes being out in public can be tough especially nowadays. But still like to learn more about it.

I’m thinking about getting into OT as a more fulfilling career path, I have a bachelors in business admin and I’m wondering what the process would be like for me to get into OT

My daughter has been going to OT sessions but still seems quite opposing to any idea the OT suggests us to review or practice during the week. I’m interested to send her your a sensory integration practice in our area but can’t find one. Would there be other search terms that I should use, or would you have any comments?

Thank you so much for creating this video on distinguishing between SPD and ADHD diagnosis. Could SPD cause a child to score low on test look into a child’s attention and cognitive abilities and therefore cause the provider err on their final diagnosis? Or, could we say scoring low on such tests definitely is an indication of ADHD being present? Thanks again!!

Great ideas! What are your suggestions for little boys who don't care about following the rules of the games? For instance, they would keep running for red light/green light and not go back to the start, they won't stop dancing for freeze dance, or don't care if they move to every instruction for Simon Says. Thanks for any advice you have. I teach a group of 20-30 kids and have a handful of boys that exhibit very little impulse control!

It's aluminum. Foil hasn't been made from tin for 80+ years.

Great topic! Your Directions are on point and specific… quick question in your practice do you incorporate ABA? Ps… your shirt is fun! Our school is over for the summer however we begin ESY next week… I have been creating fine motor tasks with a “summer like theme”… I always appreciate your videos… Thank You…

Hi Dana, thank you for your guide. Is this activity appropriate for a 3.5-year-old kid please?

I showed my almost 3 year old your technique to take off her shirt and she did in the first try. Omg THANK YOUUUU. We were struggling 😭

Hi, I really like videos. Would you be able to do a video for an older child like 7+ years old to stay on tasks/who have poor concentration, anything thing that may help them with executive functioning skills. Thanks

My two year old has fun "brushing" his teeth but he wont put it in his mouth or let us. 😂 Any tips to get him to open up and let us brush?

Hi, won’t they associate housework with money when they’re older?

Thank you

I could use some fun summer activities that are OT based. Any thoughts?

This is one of your best!!!!

Super! I' m a Esl teacher and I'll definitely use it with my youngest learners❤

My 3 year olds hair is to her butt she's never had a cut and I'm about to go for a big chop. It's tangled everyday and she doesn't like her hair touched at all I'm losing it. Lol

Thank you for this ,I am considering going back to school,and becoming a school Occupational Therapist

Thank you mam❤

Thanks for sharing your expertise! I like the strategy #1 schedule, it just lays out a high level picture for the kids. It just helps my 9 year olds navigate the day. When it comes to no schedule days, they pick their own activities and when it’s time for transition, they have a hard time doing it. This video gave me an idea to create a schedule for such days. Thank you!

Basic colour teaching to toddlers video please

Am here,thanks

Thank you so much for these tips! They are great

What is the right age to use pencil grip?

Thank you so much for this concise review of the literature! Great information!

As an autistic adult, I will say: Just don't! I wish I was diagnosed in childhood, so I wouldn't listen to people telling me to make eye contact while talking. This plus various other things people told me to do, to - as I now know - pretend to be allistic is harmful and disrespectful of our disability. Eye contact makes me unable to focus on what people are telling me, feels way to intimate and drains my energy in no time!

Me googling: *what does it mean if you have bad handwriting but good “number” writing* Then clicking on the link to this video and finding out it’s for kids😂

My son just cries and quits and this just drives me crazy. I don't yell or anything but the natural instincts to quit kills me.

Allergy season is definitely here so your video is perfectly timed. Can’t wait to use these helpful tips with my little one and my young nursery school kids too. Thank you

Really like your videos!

Love your ideas! Will try out … Thank you for your videos!!

My grand daughter is 14 and can’t. Glad I came here.

I love you for posting this. I cant even get on a waiting list for an OT and meanwhile its affecting social situations :( Youre amazing, thank you!!

Another creative, wonderful resource to use whenever, but especially on National Super Hero day!

Can you give some tips when the child writing by putting too much pressure.

Love this video

I appreciate your suggestions, very clever ideas The use of foam soap in pump bottles and utilizing a faucet extender should make a big difference❤️

😊

Tried every single one of these tips..nope.

Very helpful for my son since he can't go to OT anymore. Thank you. I'm his therapist now.

Thanks for sharing your expertise!

The video is great. You are not holding the pencil properly. Please use pencil gripper.
