Reading words and phrases aloud during speech therapy can help the therapist ensure the child is reading at grade level while encouraging confidence in their speaking ability and practicing what they’ve learned during their sessions! 📖🐷 #speechtherapy #hoggtherapy

We’re so happy to welcome Leah Storie to the HTP team! 🐷🎉 Leah has joined Admin as Referral Intake! Welcome, Leah!

OT Abby shared strategies to prevent burnout with fellow therapists and staff at lunch earlier this week! Adults can feel overwhelmed, too, and sometimes we’re moving too fast to recognize when our brains and bodies need a break! Using Abby’s strategies, we learned what causes burnout, what it might look like, and how to cope by practicing internal recovery, autonomy, seeking support, and maintaining work/life balance. Thanks for helping us take care of our brains, Abby! 💪🧠🐷 #worklifebalance #preventingburnout #occupationaltherapy #physicaltherapy #speechtherapy #hoggtherapypediatrics

Welcome to part 4 of our Adaptive Equipment series! This week, we’re learning about activity chairs with the help of our friend Slade and his speech therapist, Miss Megan! An activity chair provides physical and sensory support to a client to allow for increased attention to a task, whether that’s feeding, fine-motor skills, or general play-based learning! While sitting in the activity chair, Slade uses an AAC device to effectively communicate. He’s also working on his fine-motor skills by picking up and eating the snacks he requested! Make sure to leave a comment to tell us about your experiences with an activity chair or if you have a question! We would love to celebrate your experience or answer any questions you have. And thanks to all the therapists, parents, and patients who shared their stories about adaptive equipment this month! #hoggtherapypediatrics #adaptiveequipment #activitychair #speechtherapy #occupationaltherapy #physicaltherapy

Our therapists are great at integrating your child’s interests into therapy! This kiddo loves arts and crafts and reading, so in this speech therapy session with Ms. Taylor, she worked on a craft while discussing her fave book series, BABYMOUSE (honestly, she made it sound pretty awesome!) 🐭📚🗣️🐷 #playlearnachieve #readlearnachieve #speechtherapy #hoggtherapy

Today, we honor the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. May we always pursue spreading kindness and helping others! #mlkday

Welcome to part 3 of our Adaptive Equipment series! This week, we’re learning about the dynamic stander with the help of PT Jacob and his buddy, Hayden! A dynamic stander allows for a fully supported standing position that places a client in a fully weight-bearing position. Being fully weight-bearing allows for effective bone development and muscle strengthening for overall stability and development. Watch as Hayden pops bubbles while using the dynamic stander! Dynamic standers are portable and easy to use, making them great for a wide range of activities, like puzzles, snacking, handwriting, or any type of play-based learning. Make sure to leave a comment to tell us about your experiences with a dynamic stander or if you have a question! We would love to celebrate your experience or answer any questions you have. See you next Monday for part 4! #hoggtherapy #hoggtherapypediatrics #physicaltherapy #adaptiveequipment #dynamicstander

We are OPEN tomorrow! Quick reminder that although schools are out Monday, Jan. 20th in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, our clinics are open for regular business hours! 🕰️ Can’t make it to the clinic? Join your session on telehealth! 💻🐷 #hoggtherapypediatrics #occupationaltherapy #physicaltherapy #speechtherapy

Being a picky eater as a child is totally normal. But how picky is TOO picky? An occupational therapist can help your kiddo overcome fears around trying new foods by helping to replace the negative feelings associated with those foods with positive experiences through playing games, making up stories, or incorporating the food into fun activities, like Mrs. Ellen is doing here! Have questions about occupational or feeding therapy? Check out the Therapy Services pages on our website for more info! #hoggtherapypediatrics #occupationaltherapy #playlearnachieve

Welcome to part 2 of the Adaptive Equipment series! This week, we’ll focus on the gait trainer, and @harrison__greene is going to help show it in action 😎 A gait trainer is recommended by your therapists to promote active gait (walking) while being fully supported. A gait trainer allows for clients to focus on taking one step at a time as they learn to ambulate (walk) independently. Harrison can use his gait trainer in the clinic, in the community, and at home to improve his strength, balance and coordination 💪 Now, thanks to his gait trainer and hard work in PT, Harrison is ambulating independently—even tackling stairs—and is working with Miss Taylor from transitioning out of the floor independently! Make sure to leave a comment with your experiences with a gait trainer or if you have a question! We would love to celebrate your experience or answer any questions you have. See you next Monday for part 3! #hoggtherapy #adaptiveequipment #physicaltherapy #gaittrainer

Our latest blog post covers when occupational therapy might be needed! There are now three posts on our blog covering when OT, PT, and SLT services could be helpful — together, these posts can be a great resource for parents who might have questions about which therapy could be the best fit for their kiddos. #playlearnachieve #occupationaltherapy

When this cutie started feeding therapy with Miss Whitlie at Hogg Therapy, she was extremely gassy and unsettled during feeds, she lost lots of milk out of the sides of her mouth while taking her bottle, and tummy time was difficult.  Fast forward eight weeks, and this baby is now relaxed and calm during bottle feeds, is less gassy and uncomfortable, and doesn’t lose any milk during bottle feeds. She is now a certified tummy time champion and is working on rolling, reaching, and grabbing.  Changes at the nervous system level take time and consistency. These are the changes needed to make true progressions in feeding skills at this age. We think this mama and baby would definitely tell you that the payoff is more than worth it.   If your baby is struggling to feed, or if your parent gut is telling you something is off, come see us. Hogg Therapy’s Feeding Clinic would love to help! 🍼💖🐷 #occupationaltherapy #hoggtherapyfeedingclinic #hoggtherapypediatrics #feedingtherapy

We wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas! 🎄We’re honored to serve your families and hope that your holiday season is full of joy and wonder! 🐷❤️

Playing with your food is ok during feeding therapy! This OT and her friend were working on an SOS play strategy of placing the foods on different parts of their faces and play-sneezing it off, saying “ahhh choo”! This exercise helps to engage with food visually so that he’ll accept the food touching his fingers and mouth. Sitting in the sensory lounger helps to provide a sense of calm and regulation during therapy!! 🍅🥨🧀 #feedingtherapy #occupationaltherapy #hoggtherapypediatrics

Thank you for coming to our Peanuts Open Gym last week! We had so much fun!!
