Have you noticed your child constantly sitting in a "W" position on the floor? Do they walk on their tiptoes, or seem just a little more "clumsy" than their peers? 🏃‍♂️⚠️

While these physical quirks are common, they are often a sign that a child's sensory processing, core strength, or motor planning needs a little extra support.

Our Fort Myers pediatric physical and occupational therapists have highlighted the top motor red flags that parents should look out for, explaining how these behaviors impact attention and play, and when it’s time to seek a professional screening.

🧠 Knowledge is power! Read the clinical insights from our OT/PT team here:

The "summer slide" isn't just for reading levels. Kids in therapy can struggle to maintain those hard-earned behavioral and communication skills when structure disappears. ☀️💙 Our newest blog breaks down what summer regression actually looks like and how you can help keep your child on track with their therapy goals.

Also: If you've been on the fence about whether your child might therapy or you're considering switching clinics, summer is a great time to line up those evaluations and clinic tours. Getting your child into a solid therapy routine over summer makes for a smoother transition heading into the fall.
