April is Occupational Therapy Month AND Autism Acceptance Month 💙
As I get ready to photograph the upcoming Minot Walk for Autism, I wanted to celebrate both by sharing a special giveaway gift basket and some quick facts to spread awareness. This cause hits especially close to home as I am a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant myself.
✨ What is Occupational Therapy (OT)?
•OT helps people of all ages participate in everyday activities (or “occupations”) they need and love
•OTs support skills like fine motor, sensory processing, emotional regulation, and independence
•OT isn’t just for recovery—it helps people thrive in daily life
🧩 Autism Acceptance
•Autism is a spectrum—every individual has unique strengths and challenges
•Many autistic individuals experience the world differently, especially with sensory input
•Acceptance and understanding create more inclusive communities
💡 How OT Supports Autism
•Helps with sensory regulation (coping with sounds, textures, etc.)
•Builds communication and social interaction skills
•Encourages independence in daily routines
•Focuses on strengths, not just challenges
💙 Why This Matters
This walk and this gift giveaway are about celebrating neurodiversity, supporting families, and recognizing the incredible role OT (and other various amazing therapies) have in helping individuals live meaningful and fulfilling lives.
📸 I’m honored to capture moments from this event and help share these stories.
Let’s continue to spread awareness, acceptance, and support!
If you made it to here, thank you for reading through.
This gift basket has some of my favorites supporting fine motor skills, visual motor coordination, sensory regulation, bilateral coordination, cognitive development, and attention through fun, hands-on play. 🤗 You will also receive a photography session certificate consisting of 30 minute-mini session to use before the end of the year.
Phew! Okay now!
