Summer 2016


In This Issue

JHA is expanding again! We are very excited about our brand new building. We will be even bigger and better with  more therapy rooms and an OT gym! The gym will  be used by all of our therapists, as it will be multi-functional to help children learn fine motor, motor, and  speech skills in a fun, playful setting. 

Note: Our office will be closed Saturday, July 2nd and Monday, July 4th.

Starting July 5th, we'll be in our new office!

Ready for some kickball?



We have started a JHA kickball league for ages 3 and up. This is a great opportunity for your child to participate in a team activity in a safe, judgement free setting. Your child will learn about the game of kickball while learning sportsmanship, how to be a part of a team, how to follow rules/directions, and so much more! Your child will also make many new friends! We have a small fee of $15, which includes renting of the field and a JHA t-shirt. Please contact the office if you are interested in signing your child up for one of our teams.

Summer Sensory Activity
What you'll need:
  • small container
  • black paper (night sky)
  • glitter pompoms (fireworks)
  • glitter (we used gold)
  • tweezers or small tongs
  • cheap hair gel
Ideas:
  • Using the tweezers, pick up the sparkly glitter pompoms (fireworks) from the glitter hair gel and place them into a bowl.
  • Learn colors: Pick up one color at a time and count out loud each glitter pompom. How many do you have? Which color do you have more of? Which one do you have least?
  • Sort the pompoms according to size.
  • Explore, experiment and play with the items provided in the learning opportunity.
  • Place hands into the hair gel, describe how it feels. Is it cold, warm, sticky, or runny?
