When Getting Out the Door Takes Forever

Does getting your child ready to leave the house feel like a full-time job? Getting dressed, using the bathroom, managing mobility equipment, gathering medical supplies, packing essentials, or completing other daily care tasks can make even a simple trip feel like a lot.

Try these strategies to support your child:
✔ Prepare what you can the night before, such as clothing, bags, equipment, or other essentials.
✔ Break the getting-ready routine into smaller, manageable steps instead of tackling everything at once.
✔ Use a visual checklist or sequence to help your child know what needs to happen before it’s time to leave.
✔ Give your child extra time when possible, especially when dressing, transfers, mobility, or other care routines take longer.
✔ Celebrate your child’s participation and independence, even when they are only able to complete part of a task.

At Stepping Stones Pediatric Therapy, Inc., our therapists help families find individualized strategies that support participation and independence in everyday routines, making daily activities more manageable for both children and caregivers.

Tuesday Therapy Tip: Making Foot Placement Part of Play 🦶🏻🎯

When a child’s feet turn inward while walking, there may be more to consider than foot position alone. Balance, coordination, body awareness, and the way a child moves their weight from one foot to the other can all play a role in how they move.

Play-based activities can give children opportunities to practice these skills in a fun and engaging way.

Try this:
⭕ Tap targets with the heel to encourage purposeful foot placement
👣 Move the foot through a target to practice accuracy and coordination
🦵 Hold a balance position on one foot to challenge stability
⬆️ Practice lifting the toes while standing to encourage awareness of how the foot contacts the floor

You can make these activities more engaging by using colorful rings, floor markers, or other simple toys your child enjoys. Start with activities that match your child’s current abilities and provide support when needed.

The goal isn't simply to change the way a child’s feet look. Therapy can help children develop the balance, coordination, strength, and movement skills they need to participate more confidently in everyday activities.

Every child develops differently, and activities should be individualized based on their needs and abilities.

UPLIFTING STORIES: Collette Divitto 🌟

Collette Divitto is an entrepreneur, baker, and disability advocate who turned a love for baking into a business—and then used her success to help open doors for others. 🍪💙

Born with Down syndrome, Collette grew up loving to bake. As a young adult, she wanted to find a job but faced repeated rejection.

Instead of giving up, Collette decided to create her own opportunity.

In 2016, she founded Collettey's Cookies. What began with her passion for baking grew into a successful business and became part of a much bigger mission: helping people with disabilities find opportunities to work, lead, and build independent lives.

Collette's story is an important reminder for children that being different does not mean dreaming smaller.

Every child has unique talents, interests, and strengths. Sometimes, those strengths just need the right opportunity to shine. 🌟

For families, Collette's journey reminds us to encourage children's interests, celebrate their abilities, and give them opportunities to participate, contribute, and discover what they can accomplish.

And perhaps most importantly, Collette shows us that when we create opportunities for ourselves, we can use them to create opportunities for others, too.

Your differences can be part of what makes your story special.

Dream big. Believe in yourself. And never be afraid to find your own path.

When a Haircut Feels Like Too Much

Does your child struggle with haircuts? Buzzing clippers, scissors near the ears, unfamiliar surroundings, or having someone touch their head can make a haircut feel like a big experience.

Try these strategies to support your child:
✔ Visit the salon or barbershop ahead of time so your child can become familiar with the environment.
✔ Practice some of the steps at home using pretend play or a visual sequence.
✔ Share your child’s preferences and sensitivities with the stylist before the appointment.
✔ Choose a quieter appointment time when possible to reduce distractions.
✔ Allow breaks when appropriate and celebrate your child’s participation and progress.

At Stepping Stones Pediatric Therapy, Inc., our therapists help families find individualized strategies that make everyday activities more predictable, comfortable, and successful.

Tuesday Therapy Tip: Give Your Child More Ways to Communicate 💬

Communication does not always happen through spoken words.

Children may communicate by pointing, gesturing, using signs, pictures, facial expressions, body movements, speech generating devices, or other forms of AAC.

Giving children multiple ways to communicate can help them express what they want, need, feel, and think.

Try this during everyday activities:
👉 Offer choices using pictures, objects, gestures, or words
💬 Model simple words such as “help,” “more,” “go,” and “stop”
📱 If your child uses AAC, model language on their device
⏳ Give your child extra time to respond
❤️ Respond to all meaningful communication attempts

Communication is about connection, not perfection.

When children have reliable ways to communicate, they can participate more fully in family routines, school activities, play, and their communities.

What is your child's favorite way to communicate? Share with us below! 💙

If you have questions about supporting your child’s development, our therapists at Stepping Stones Pediatric Therapy Inc. are here to help!

UPLIFTING STORIES: Mark Inglis 🌟

Mark Inglis is a New Zealand mountaineer, Paralympian, scientist, and adventurer who shows us that sometimes the road to our dreams may look different than we expected—but that doesn't mean we have to stop dreaming. 🏔️

In 1982, Mark became trapped in a snow cave on Mount Cook during a severe blizzard. After being rescued 13 days later, both of his legs had to be amputated below the knees.

But Mark didn't let this life-changing experience end his love for adventure.
He returned to sport and became a successful Para cyclist, winning a silver medal at the Sydney 2000 Paralympic Games. 🚴‍♂️🥈

Then came an even bigger challenge.

In 2006, Mark reached the summit of Mount Everest, becoming the first double amputee to climb the world's highest mountain. 🏔️

Mark's journey is a powerful reminder for children that facing a challenge doesn't mean giving up on your dreams. Sometimes, we simply need to find a new way forward.

For families, his story reminds us to focus not only on what may be difficult, but also on what children can do—with encouragement, opportunity, patience, and support. 💙

The path may change. The dream doesn't have to.

Keep climbing. Keep trying. Keep believing in what is possible.
