Happy New Year 2025!

Happy New Year! Can you believe it’s 2025 already? The past years have flown by!

With staff training completed, I now have the great therapists I have always wanted for our families. As a result, I have more time to spend making Moving Parts the OT practice I have always dreamed of - a place for kids who have no diagnosis but have Sensory Processing Challenges. 

It’s also allowed me to get on top of some of the tasks that have been on my list of things to do for months which has felt so good. One of those tasks was to chat with previous clients to hear where they are now months, or even years, after our work together.

And you know what…I’ve been blown away by what’s been happening in their families.  Like Andrew– an 8 year old we worked with back in 2021.

When we first started working with Andrew he was struggling with behaviors at school that were getting in the way of his education. He was hitting his peers and was unable to sit still and focus. 

But he did not qualify for an IEP at school and did not have a medical diagnosis that explained his behaviors. 

When his mother came to us, she was beside herself with worry for his future at school, both academically and socially. After an evaluation by us, it turned out that Andrew was struggling with Sensory Processing Disorder, 

He was a very smart boy who was having unwanted behaviors because his sensory system was not working well.

We worked with Andrew to integrate his vestibular and proprioceptive systems as well as to integrate his primitive reflexes which also improved his sensory processing.

The outcome when we finished our time together was amazing. He was able to sit still and focus. He was no longer hitting his peers. School was going well. 

I spoke with his mother recently and she told me that he continues to do well. She shared how glad she is to have found Moving Parts Therapy for Andrew.

Knowing that there are many kids without a diagnosis that struggle with sensory processing, I am wondering…

Do you know a child that might need some help like Andrew?

It is our mission to provide sensory integrative therapy for these children because they may not be able to get services elsewhere due to not having a diagnosis. Their behaviors are often attributed only to lack of discipline rather than a sensory problem because there is no diagnosis to explain it.

We want to help more children find success like Andrew has found.

If you do know a child that you think we’d be a good fit for, I’d love it if you could put us in contact either via email movingpartstherapy.com or over the phone if that’s better for them.

If you have an interest in learning more about what we may be able to do to help you, let me know when you’re free so we can arrange some time to talk.
