๐ŸŒŸ Just a very important day in the life of an O ๐ŸŒŸ Just a very important day in the life of an OT ๐ŸŒŸ

Today was full of those magical moments that remind me why I love what I do. ๐Ÿ’›

๐Ÿ’ช The squeeze machine and steamroller worked their magic โ€” helping kids build body awareness, deep pressure regulation, and that calming input their nervous systems crave.

๐ŸŽช The acrobat swing and climbing layers took courage and focus โ€” strengthening core muscles, balance, motor planning, and confidence one brave swing at a time.

And the best part? Seeing the excitement in their eyes when they get it. โœจ

๐Ÿ“š My book, What Is OT?, is opening doors for so many conversations with kids, parents, and teachers โ€” helping everyone understand how amazing and powerful Occupational Therapy really is. The stories are spreading, and itโ€™s truly a success.

Thank you to everyone whoโ€™s supported this journey โ€” this is only the beginning! ๐Ÿ’•

Hi friends, itโ€™s Justine ๐Ÿ’• Most of you know Hi friends, itโ€™s Justine ๐Ÿ’•

Most of you know me as a pediatric occupational therapist here in Westport, CT at Building Blocks Pediatric Occupational Therapy Services. For years, families have asked me the same big question: โ€œWhat is OT, and what will my child do there?โ€

So, I poured my heart into creating something that would explain it in a way kids could truly connect with.

๐Ÿ“š The What Is OT? Series is a seven-book collection that breaks down the many skills we work on in OT โ€” from fine motor and sensory, to life skills and social-emotional growth. Each story is colorful, fun, and written to help kids see themselves in the characters.

And hereโ€™s the part that makes it extra special for me โ€” the main characters are inspired by my own children, nieces, nephews, and even some OT friends whoโ€™ve been part of my journey. This series is my little love letter to the kids I work with every day, and to a profession that means the world to me.

โœจ My hope is that these books give parents, teachers, and therapists tools to share what OT really is, and how it helps kids learn, grow, and thrive.

Thank you for cheering me on as I put this dream into the world โ€” Iโ€™m so excited to share it with you ๐Ÿ’œ

Follow along @justinebedocs, @buildingblockspediatricot, and @buildingblocksbookseries for updates as the series comes to life!
