OT Clinical Connection
November 2020
We're excited to announce our newest Pediatric OT Service that we are now offering for kids with Pediatric Visual Disorders. This service is being provided by our Pediatric Occupational Therapist, Kaylee Breitenbucher, MOT, OTR/L.

This service is very important for kids as sight is one of our most important senses and any deficit in vision can affect a child’s ability to learn and engage in daily activities. Visual disorders in children can include both deficits in their visual acuity and in their visual field.

The holidays this year are going to look a little bit different than what we are used to with social distancing, masks, and possible outdoor meals on the horizon. During this time, our annual celebrations with family and friends are so important for our mental health, but it is equally important to stay safe.

As indoor dinner parties and social get-togethers are risky this holiday season due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many people will likely be cooking and gathering outside. It is important to keep safety in mind when using a grill or turkey fryer (especially if it is for the first time), while cooking in the kitchen, and while gathering.

November and December are times that families cherish; as it brings warm memories of cherished traditions. Many emotions surround this timeframe including stress, excitement, and love. 2020 has brought with it many changes to how we do things within our own families and our communities.

These changes will affect how we will celebrate this holiday season. Washington University Occupational Therapy would like to provide you with some tips on how to maintain self-regulation during a challenging holiday season.
