Fall snacks, a table full of beads, and a girls’ night that made my OT heart happy 🤎

Picking up tiny beads, threading cord, and tying knots all involve fine motor control, hand-eye coordination, and working with both hands together. So many skills tucked into something we were simply having fun making!

A little creativity, time with friends, and a little Best Day Ever. My kind of night!!

A little Friday reminder that some of the best therapy activities happen right on the living room floor! 🤍

With the hurricane on everyone’s minds and lots of families preparing for extra time indoors (or a long car ride!), I thought I’d share a few easy ways to keep little hands and minds busy this weekend.

The best part? You probably already have everything you need!

🚗 For the car ride: Play I Spy, go on a color scavenger hunt, or take turns making up silly stories. These are great ways to work on visual attention, language, and cognitive flexibility without another screen.

🏠 For a day inside: Build a fort with pillows and blankets, make an obstacle course, or turn the living room into a pretend restaurant. So much opportunity for motor planning, coordination, problem-solving, and imaginative play!

✋ For busy little hands: Break out the stickers, Play-Doh, coloring books, or even a deck of cards. All great opportunities to practice fine motor skills and hand coordination.

💛 For the big feelings: Remember that changes in routine can be hard for little ones, especially when the grown-ups are feeling stressed, too. Keep a few familiar activities nearby, offer movement breaks when possible, and make time for some extra connection.

As an OT, one of my favorite things is showing families how much learning can happen through everyday play. It doesn’t have to be complicated (or expensive!) to be meaningful.

Thinking of all our families along the Gulf Coast as we prepare for the storm. Stay safe, take care of each other, and here’s to finding a few little moments of fun along the way!

Motivation Monday ✨

Getting dressed. Making breakfast. Getting out the door. Mondays are full of the everyday “occupations” OT is all about. This week, pick one routine to make a little smoother and celebrate every small step. You’re already doing more than you think, and you don’t have to do it alone. 💛

Hi!!! Welcome to the first Why OT Wednesday?

I get this question ALL the time… what is OT?

OT is basically all about LIFE. The things you have to do. The things you want to do. And all the little things in between that make up your day. That’s what we call “occupations.”

For a child, it might look like getting dressed without the morning becoming a whole production. Trying a new food. Holding a pencil. Sitting through school. Playing with friends. Learning to do more “I can do it!” things on their own.

And for an adult, it might mean getting back to cooking dinner, going to work, getting dressed, taking care of your home, doing the things you love. Sometimes life changes — an injury, surgery, diagnosis, or just getting older — and OT helps figure out how to make everyday life work for you again.

And THIS is why I love OT. Because no two people’s “everyday” looks the same. We get to figure out what matters to you, what’s getting in the way, and how we can make those everyday things feel a little more doable. The little things really are the big things!!!

If something in your day — or your child’s — feels harder than it should, I’d love to talk about how OT might be able to help.

Hi! I’m Lilly Martin, OTD, OTR/L, and I am so excited to introduce Best Day Ever Therapy! 🤍

I grew up in Grayton Beach, and long before I ever became an Occupational Therapist, I was the one sitting in therapy rooms myself. I know firsthand how much the right therapist can impact not only one person, but an entire family. Getting to open Best Day Ever Therapy in the community that raised me feels incredibly full circle.

Best Day Ever is a one-on-one occupational therapy practice serving children and adults along 30A. OT is all about the everyday things that make up our lives — getting dressed, sitting through a meal, handwriting, playing, building independence, returning to the things you love after an injury, or simply making everyday routines feel a little easier.

Every session is individualized and built around you, your family, your goals, and your real life. Sessions are available at our Santa Rosa Beach office at The Shops of 393, in your home along 30A, or virtually throughout Florida.

I truly cannot wait to serve this community and share more about what we’re building here.

Sometimes the best days are simply the ones where the everyday things feel a little more possible. Here’s to making more Best Days Ever! ☀️
