This Valentine's Day, we encourage educators to consider incorporating inclusive Valentines-themed activities that can be implemented with the support of PTS therapists. 

Creating an inclusive Valentine’s Day can help every student feel seen and valued. ❤️ Start with simple, adaptable activities like crafting valentines that use symbols or pictures for students with communication challenges. ❤️ Incorporate sensory-friendly materials, such as soft textures or non-scented items, to accommodate sensitivities. ❤️ Group activities like collaborative art projects foster teamwork and connection, making celebrations more meaningful for everyone. ❤️ Highlight kindness and empathy through stories or classroom discussions to reinforce these values. Inclusivity ensures that all students, regardless of abilities, can participate fully in the fun. 💕 #InclusiveEducation #ValentinesDay #ClassroomActivities

Therapists considering school-based vs. outpatient settings should understand the key differences. School-based therapy focuses on educational goals, integrating therapy into students' daily routines. Outpatient therapy addresses broader developmental or medical concerns, often involving more specialized equipment or longer sessions. Both offer unique opportunities to make a difference, but the setting you choose will depend on your professional goals and desired impact.

This February, focus on self-love and self-management!

💪 Fine motor skills are essential for tasks like writing, buttoning shirts, and tying shoelaces. Developing these skills strengthens the small muscles in the hands and fingers, enabling greater independence. Fun activities like playing with clay, threading beads, or practicing cutting with scissors can make skill-building enjoyable for kids. Encouraging these activities in early education sets the foundation for lifelong success in both academic and everyday tasks.

Sensory therapy can be a game-changer for students with autism. By addressing sensory processing challenges, educators can help students feel more comfortable and focused. Incorporate strategies like fidget tools, weighted blankets, or noise-canceling headphones to reduce overstimulation. Create calming spaces where students can decompress during overwhelming moments. Tailoring classroom environments with sensory-friendly lighting and seating also promotes engagement. Understanding and addressing sensory needs ensures all students can thrive in the classroom.
