April 2026 Newsletter Hi read, April just flew by! I hope you all are getting outdoors a lot with your kids and enjoying the spring weather. 🌷 📄 Recommended Resource: A friend recently introduced me to the Daylight computer. It is a new kind of tablet that does not expose the eyes and brain to blue light. It also can be easily used outside due to the unique screen that is not backlit. It has completely eliminated the eye strain I always feel at the end of a long work day on my laptop! I was so impressed that I emailed them and asked for a discount code to share with all of you parents, because I know you're concerned about the amount of screen time that your children get in a day at school and relaxing at home. The Daylight Kids computer is a great option. You can use code OUTDOORKIDS to get $50 off. (We don't make anything when you buy- this is just a discount for you.) If you get one, have your kid to go outside and get some vitamin D in the sun while using it. 😎 🌳 OKOT Story & Service Updates In clinic settings, occupational therapists do a LOT of intentional activities to try to give children “multi-sensory” experiences. But outdoors, this happens so naturally. Kids have a way of finding small creatures when we're out in the woods! Last summer there was a day when the kids found SO MANY creatures! There were bugs, a variety of frogs, and this tiny mouse. Being with these small creatures taught the kids body awareness, motor control, and empathy for living things in a natural way that could never have happened in an indoor setting (where these sensory experiences would have had to be manufactured in some way.) We love nature-based therapy! 😊 Service Updates:  FALL SERVICES ARE NOW OPEN FOR ENROLLMENT! Apply now to secure your ideal times/dates.  You can check out our current 1:1 outdoor OT services here.
