SUCCESS STORY

Tom and Ivy are two friends that OT Charlotte works with at school. They have been learning this year about their sensory systems and the importance of movement for their brains and body. They have both applied their learning from OT into their classroom, independently taking responsibility for their regulation through the form of movement breaks throughout their school day. Their teacher has allowed them to go out together throughout the day when they notice their bodies are feeling dysregulated and engage in their own purposeful movement breaks. During these breaks, they are completing playground challenges and obstacle courses they have learnt in their own separate OT sessions, allowing them to return into the classroom in a more regulated state. Awesome work Tom and Ivy!
