The Power of Coloring

1 de junio de 2026

Coloring is more than just a fun activity, it is a powerful tool therapists use to help children build important developmental skills while keeping therapy engaging and playful. Coloring can support communication, movement, coordination, focus, and creativity all at the same time. Best of all, children often do not even realize how much they are learning because they are having fun! We recently hosted a coloring contest in our clinics, and the kiddos had so much fun showing their creativity! At the end of this post, we've included two coloring page designs that you can download, print, and color at home or on the go!

Playing some LOUD MUSIC during speech therapy with Mrs. Morgan 🤣🎹 Speech therapy encompasses lots of different sorts of communication, some of it is just a little louder than others 😉🤘🐷#speechtherapy #speechlanguagepathologist #hoggtherapypediatrics #playlearnachieve

OT Mrs. Jen is helping this friend practice her pencil and writing skills! ✍️ While handwriting and pencil skills are covered in the classroom, pediatric OTs can help when a kiddo needs extra support. 💕 An OT looks at things like fine-motor coordination, hand strength, and pencil control to help a child find a grip that makes writing more comfortable and efficient so that they can write with confidence and success! 👏🐷 #occupationaltherapist #finemotorskills #hoggtherapypediatrics

✨Milestone moment! ✨This friend has been working so hard for so many months on completing a tandem walk across the foam balance beam without any step offs. 🚶‍♀️⚖️ She has now successfully completed it in 3 separate PT sessions, showing consistency with the skill, and she keeps getting better! 🎉 PT Mrs. Brittany is so proud of her and all the hard work she’s put in.

They are also working on identifying the different colors and taking turns! 🌈💙🐷 #occupationaltherapy #occupationaltherapist #hoggtherapypediatrics #hoggtherapy

Telling some tall tales about catching big fish during speech with Mrs. Taylor 🤣🐷 They’ve been working on that tricky /sh/ sound together! 🐠 For some kids, “fish” can sound more like “fiss.” Why? Because /S/ is an easier, more familiar sound, while /SH/ requires the tongue to move farther back and the lips to round just a bit differently. So today, we’re talking ALL about fish while practicing that tricky /SH/ sound. 🐟🎣 #speechtherapy #speechlanguagepathologist #hoggtherapypediatrics

This friend loves to start her sessions with OT Mrs. Alyssa with some swinging time! Swinging is great for vestibular input, and it can be a great way to relax before moving on to work on other goals 💕✨🐷#occupationaltherapy #occupationaltherapist #hoggtherapypediatrics

Taking a little break during a great PT session with Mrs. Brittany to make us giggle with some puppet show antics! 🤣🐸👑 #physicaltherapy #physicaltherapist #hoggtherapypediatrics #playlearnachieve

OT Mrs. Maddy is using the marble run game to help this friend work on some executive functioning, following directions, and turn-taking! 🔁 No marble run tower-build is complete without wrecking it afterwards, right?! 😝🐷 (Also, if you can’t tell from the video, he is wearing the coolest Buc-ee’s shirt!) 🦫 #occupationaltherapy #hoggtherapypediatrics #hoggtherapy #bucees

This month on the Hogg Blog: ST Mrs. Taylor has written a post all about customizing AAC devices! 📝🐷 For many families, an AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) device becomes much more than a piece of technology — it becomes a child's voice.💬 Giving children opportunities to personalize their device can help build confidence, encourage independence, and make communication even more meaningful. This post also includes links to an awesome free video resource for families called AAC at Home — a series of short videos that will set you and your family up for success!🏡🙌 Check out the post on our blog — link in profile or in our linktree! 🔗 #hoggtherapypediatrics #speechtherapy

A beltcane is helping this friend to explore walking and build the confidence to walk independently✨PT Mrs. Brittany is there to guide him every step of the way! 💕 Sometimes, the first step toward independence is simply getting the opportunity to experience it. That’s where cool tools like this beltcane can come in handy! 💪🐷 #physicaltherapy #physicaltherapist #hoggtherapypediatrics

We’re thrilled to welcome Gabby Kirby to the HTP Team! 🐷🎉 Gabby has joined our team as a PRN Physical Therapist in Richmond. Welcome, Gabby! 👏

Who knew drawing letters on a dry-erase table could be part of speech therapy? 💬 ST Mrs. Maya has been working with this friend on connecting letters to their sounds — like seeing “b” and knowing it represents /b/, also known as sound-letter correspondence. 👍 This skill is an important bridge between speech, language, and early literacy. 📝📚 Even if their first answer is wrong, the way a child responds and self-corrects can give the SLP valuable information about how they’re processing what they see and hear.👀🦻 Speech therapy is about so much more than just “saying sounds correctly!” ❤️ #speechtherapy #speechlanguagepathologist #hoggtherapypediatrics

🤧 It’s Sick Season! 🦠💛 Help us keep our kiddos, families, and therapists healthy this season! We LOVE seeing our kiddos, that much is true, but if they’re feeling sick, home is best for you! 🏠💛 Rest for the day or telehealth is okay— we’ll still find a way to make therapy a great day! 💻✨ Thank you for helping us keep HTP healthy and our therapists here to serve your kiddos! 🫶 #playlearnachieve #hoggtherapypediatrics

It might look like this friend is just playing with a dollhouse, but this setup is absolutely checking off many OT boxes at the same time! ✅ Sitting in a tall kneeling position to target those pelvic floor muscles ✅ Reaching across from one side of the foam pad to the other encourages her to cross the midline while strengthening bilateral coordination ✅ Using keys or picking up small items engages finger isolation, which is crucial for prewriting strokes Every seemingly small action is working together to achieve big results! 🐷✨That’s part of the magic of occupational therapy! #occupationaltherapy #hoggtherapypediatrics #hoggtherapy

We’re so excited to welcome Bryanna to the team! 👏 Bryanna is our new Clinic Assistant and will be helping keep our Richmond & Berea clinics running smoothly with all things tidying, organizing, cleaning, and keeping our spaces looking their best! 🧹🫧✨Welcome, Bryanna!

During OT with Ms. Aysia, this friend was practicing typing on a laptop to work on fine-motor coordination, hand strength, motor control, and functional keyboarding skills.💻 Somehow, Jimothy the raccoon came up in conversation…so naturally, we had to look him up!🦝 Swipe to see his reaction 😂 OT lesson of the day: Sometimes the best therapeutic activity is the one that gets a kid excited to participate. 💙🐷 #jimothy #occupationaltherapy #hoggtherapypediatrics

The words we use around mealtimes can make a bigger impact than we realize. 💕 We were reminded of this recently through a pretty amazing feeding therapy moment. A couple of weeks ago, this friend would ONLY eat McDonald’s fries — never trying waffle fries or any other category ❌ Yesterday, he and his SLP, Mrs. Megan, heated up curly fries in the air fryer — seasoning and all! 😍 And guess what? He liked them! He and Mrs. Megan even passed the curly fries around to other kiddos at the clinic and encouraged them to try them, too. 🥹 That’s the kind of progress that can happen when we give kids opportunities to explore food without pressure, celebrate the small steps, and leave room for curiosity. 🔎 When a child hears themselves described as a “picky eater” over and over, that label can start to feel like part of who they are. And as parents and caregivers, we are some of their most trusted people. What we say to and about them matters.🗣️ So instead of focusing on what they won’t eat, let’s look for the positives we can celebrate: ✨ “You’re being so brave trying that!” ✨ “You’re doing a great job chewing!” ✨ “You’re exploring a new food!” ✨ “You’re listening to your body!” And if your child doesn’t like something? That’s okay, too. We can make room for preferences without making them feel like a problem. Mealtimes don’t have to be perfect, and neither do we. Feeding challenges can take time, patience, and support — and you don’t have to figure it all out on your own. If you need support or have questions about your kiddo’s eating habits, we’re here to help!🐷💕 #feedingtherapy #speechtherapy #occupationaltherapy #hoggtherapypediatrics

Our monthly LEGO Club meets next Thursday at 6:45pm at the Richmond clinic! Register at the link in bio to join in on the fun! 🧱🏡🐷

Working on our balance, coordination, strength, and speed during PT with Mrs. Brittany! 💪 Go, go, go!! 🏃🏃‍♀️🐷 #physicaltherapy #pediatricphysicaltherapy #hoggtherapypediatrics

✨Milestone Moment ✨This sweet friend got his first haircut and didn’t shed a single tear! 🎉✂️ For some kids, something as simple as having their hair cut can feel incredibly overwhelming. His OT, Ms. Kaylee, has been working with him on building tolerance for having his head touched, and all of that hard work has finally paid off. 🥹💕 A first haircut might not sound like a big deal to everyone—but for him, it was a BIG victory, and you better believe his OT was celebrating right alongside him. 🥳 This is why we celebrate progress, no matter how big or small!🐷 #playlearnachieve #occupationaltherapy #hoggtherapypediatrics

We are so excited to welcome TWO new team members this week: Kennedy & Jessica! 🙌🐷 Kennedy is our new Referral Intake coordinator, and Jessica is joining the Billing Team to assist with Patient Access Billing Verification! We’re so glad to welcome them to the Hogg Therapy family! #hoggtherapy #hoggtherapypediatrics

While playing the xylophone outside, Mrs. Georgia asks this friend to describe what he’s doing. Instead of simply asking, “What are you doing?”, she makes it playful: “Caleb is… eating bugs!” 🐛 or “Caleb is… going to sleep!” 😴 These playful moments create opportunities to listen, process language, and practice responding—all without making therapy feel like a test. Sometimes progress isn’t an immediate verbal response. Sometimes it’s understanding, connection, confidence, and engagement. 💕🐷✨ #speechtherapy #hoggtherapy #hoggtherapypediatrics #speechlanguagepathology

Parents, have you ever wondered, “Is my child on track with their developmental milestones?” 💭 Our Developmental Screening Tool is a quick, easy resource for families with children ages 0–6. It looks at common milestones in gross motor, fine motor, and speech skills, along with sensory and behavioral areas. 🐷 Your results can help you identify areas you may want to discuss further with your child’s pediatrician or a therapy professional—and you’ll also receive a printable, comprehensive milestone guide for ages 0–6. ❤️ No pressure. No judgment. Just a helpful starting point for understanding your child’s development. Find it in the link in our bio or linktree! 🔗 #pediatrictherapy #developmentalmilestones #hoggtherapypediatrics

Just want to give a little shoutout to HTP’s owners 🥰🐷 (We had a leadership rally last night and were able to get them to pause for a photo 😂) They are huge advocates for the kiddos who are cared for here at Hogg Therapy and for everyone who makes up our workforce. We’re grateful for you and appreciate everything you do behind the scenes! 🙌💕

An “obstacle course” can be doing SO much more in OT than you might realize! 🤯 It might look like this kiddo is simply working on balance and coordination, but an OT can use the activity to work on motor planning, body awareness, visual-motor skills, attention, following directions, sequencing, sensory processing, executive functioning—and so much more. ⚖️✨“Step on green!” isn’t just about finding the green item that’s next in the sequence. The child has to look, listen, process the direction, figure out where their body needs to go, plan the movement, and then execute it.🌈 It’s basically sneaking a whole bunch of therapy goals into one fun activity. 💕 Sometimes what looks like “just play” has a LOT of thoughtful therapeutic work happening underneath it! 🐷 #occupationaltherapy #hoggtherapy #hoggtherapypediatrics #playlearnachieve

The HTP team had a tie-dye party during lunch recently! 🌈✨ So much fun! 🥳🎨🐷

Watching speech therapy in action with ST Mrs. Charlotte! 🗣️✨Today’s “labeling” activity looks simple — name the animal, say the word, practice that final sound — but it’s actually working on word retrieval, sound awareness, speech production, and putting those skills together. 🐝🐱🐻 Little cards, lots of repetition, and some very important final sounds! 💬👏🐷 #speechtherapy #speechlanguagepathologist #hoggtherapypediatrics #hoggtherapy

This sweet friend has been making huge strides in therapy recently! 💪✨ ST Mrs. Morgan, OT Mrs. Alyssa, and OT Mrs. Abby (pictured here) have been working together as a team to support her in reaching her goals! 🙌 Here’s what her mom had to say about her progress so far: “Since starting Hogg, Effie has blossomed into her own path. Within the last year her speech has doubled and we can properly understand her now. She's also successfully tried multiple new foods in the last couple months, things that I thought she'd never try, let alone enjoy so much we have it almost weekly. I couldn't even form the right words to say thank you to everyone who’s worked with my little girl. I can't wait to see what other progress she makes in the future!” 🥹 We’re so proud of Effie and look forward to seeing her continue to play, learn, achieve! 🐷🎉 #occupationaltherapy #speechtherapy #hoggtherapypediatrics #playlearnachieve

OT Mrs. Dusty is helping this friend to practice using both hands and boost his fine motor control! 🧱 They’re also working on turn-taking, which might sound like a simple concept—but there’s so much more happening underneath! 🐷 In this session, Mrs. Dusty was intentionally voicing whose turn it was, helping the child take a short pause and better understand the pattern. That simple back-and-forth is building impulse control, attention, communication, flexibility, regulation, and social participation—all through play. Sometimes the “game” is the activity, but the real work is in the skills being built along the way. 🧩✨#playlearnachieve #occupationaltherapy #hoggtherapypediatrics

OT Ms. Aysia is helping this friend fine-tune those fine motor skills while encouraging choice-making by using his AAC device! 👍💬 AAC devices are so much more than a way to communicate—they’re a bridge that helps therapy teams work together. 🤝 When occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, physical therapists, teachers, and caregivers all use a child’s AAC system during everyday activities, communication becomes part of every goal. Whether a child is requesting a turn on the swing in OT or practicing social interactions in speech therapy, the same communication tools support success across settings. Collaboration across disciplines creates more opportunities for meaningful communication, reinforces skills throughout the day, and helps children build confidence using their AAC device in real-life situations. 🙌🐷 #occupationaltherapy #hoggtherapypediatrics #aacdevice

What an incredible show of talent we saw this morning! 🎭 The performers took the stage with confidence and showed off their skills with big smiles. All the hard work definitely paid off, and we are so proud! 🥹 Huge thank you to the therapists and caregivers who helped the performers get ready for the talent show and the volunteers who kept it all running smoothly behind the scenes. ✨We hope everyone left the show with very happy hearts and bellies full of @freshiesicecream! 💕🍦 We are so grateful to Surge (@surgeprinting), Champ’s (@visitchamps), and Monkey Joe’s (@monkeyjoes_lexingtonky) for contributing such great prizes for the performers! ❤️ And thanks to Lane of Roses (@laneofroses) for providing delicious coffee and hot chocolate ☕️🍫 We’ll share more talent show snippets next week!

“Turn on the music!” is definitely a phrase we’ll be hearing this Saturday, during the Scoops & Smiles Talent Show & Ice Cream Social!! 🎤🎭🍦We can’t wait! If you’re a parent whose kiddo is registered to perform, check in with your therapist (or check your email if you marked that as your preferred contact method) about the schedule and other details ⏱️. It’s going to be so much fun! 🐷💕 #speechtherapy #speechtherapist #hoggtherapy

We’ve loved seeing your stories roll in over the past couple weeks and wanted to share one of our own, thanks to therapists Lauren & Maya and their friend Tiffany. ❤️ Last week, OT Ms. Lauren and ST Ms. Maya accompanied Tiffany on a HUGE adventure, attending the Special Needs Camp of Kentucky for activities, friendship, and growth 💕 Headquartered in Bath County, SNCKI is free to attend, with nearly 100 campers enrolled this year! Ms. Lauren shared her thoughts with the HTP team when she got home: “The other campers welcomed [Tiffany] with open arms, and she made so many new friends…A space where 76 teens/adults with disabilities of all kinds were free to just be them and make those connections with each other while having tons of fun. We have had moments that were trickier to navigate, but we did it together.” One of the nights was family and community night, featuring a group dance and a talent showcase. 🪩Lauren said, “The amount of love and support in the gym was out of this world. For her mom to see that, to know that we’ve got her girl no matter what, means more than any treatment code or note I could ever write. She is already asking when she gets to come back…and even told her mom to ‘buy a new house at camp’😂 If you are not already, follow Special Needs Connections of Kentucky, Inc on facebook. They are doing such AMAZING things for our community here and deserve so much support.” 🙌 We couldn’t agree more! Therapy isn’t about treatment codes, billable hours, documentation, or recertification. It’s about the meaningful moments and the love we pour into these children every single day. This is why Hogg Therapy exists—to give every child the opportunity to experience a meaningful, joyful life. ✨ Thank you, Lauren and Maya for your support both in and outside of the clinic and for sharing this story! 🐷

We’re sharing an occupational therapy success story from OT Mrs. Abby today! 🙌 Meet Grayson! When he first started occupational therapy, everyday life felt hard. He was experiencing significant picky eating, struggled with daily routines and transitions, and had a difficult time managing big emotions. Since then, Grayson has put in so much hard work. Through OT, he has built confidence, strengthened his self-regulation skills, and learned to take on new and challenging tasks with courage. Every small step has added up to something truly amazing! One of the biggest reasons for Grayson’s success has been the incredible partnership with his parents. They fully embraced therapy beyond the clinic by consistently practicing strategies at home through his Home Exercise Program (HEP). Their dedication, encouragement, and willingness to try new approaches have made all the difference. Today, Grayson is trying new foods every week, navigating daily routines with greater independence, and enjoying more successful, joyful moments with his family. His growth is a wonderful reminder of what can happen when a determined child, committed caregivers, and a supportive therapy team work together. 🎉Congratulations, Grayson! We are so proud of everything you’ve accomplished, and we’re celebrating your amazing parents, too. Your hard work, perseverance, and teamwork are inspiring! 💙 [This story & all photos shared with parent permission 💕🐷] #occupationaltherapy #hoggtherapypediatrics #hoggtherapy #feedingtherapy
