OT Mrs. Ellen has a friend who is working through emotional regulation, ideation of calming strategies, and overall getting a better understanding of emotions and how they impact him and others. He also loves Pokémon and is very creative, so he made 6 full-sized Pokémon cards based on different emotions (i.e. the Pokémon has an emotion, a power associated with that power, and a way to be soothed/calmed). She said it’s been so cool seeing him use his creativity in their sessions! #occupationaltherapy #hoggtherapy

Today, on Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita (AMC) Awareness Day, we’re celebrating the incredible journey of one of our amazing clients — Harrison! From his very first PT session at just a few months old, Harrison has shown nothing but determination, cleverness, and a lot of sass! 💪😄 Over the past four years, we’ve worked together on everything from rolling and sitting to walking independently. Harrison has blown us away with his grit and growth every step of the way! With support from Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, and Speech Therapy, Harrison has overcome huge hurdles: learning to stand, walk, climb stairs, communicate with AAC, and so much more. He’s retired his stander, outsmarted his gait trainer, and now confidently walks through the gym, navigating toys and friends without skipping a beat. 🐷🚶‍♂️ We are so proud of the progress he’s made and grateful to be a part of his story. 💙 Here’s to Harrison and all the AMC warriors — your strength inspires us every day! 👏#AMCstrong #pediatrictherapy #hoggtherapy #playlearnachieve #BlueforAMC

What does playing board games have to do with therapy? During speech therapy with Mr. Chance, this friend is practicing his “ch” sounds by verbalizing his “CHoices.” Board games can also be a great way to teach about recognizing emotions and emotional regulation in occupational therapy. When he first started working with Mrs. Janna in OT, this friend got veeeeery frustrated when he wasn’t winning a game. Now, he patiently waits his turn, describes how he’s feeling, practices describing how others might feel when in the same position, AND he can even lose a game without losing his cool, which is a huge win! 🙌🎖️#playlearnachieve #speechtherapy #occupationaltherapy

We always see lots of smiles during PT with Mrs. Hayden! ☺️🤸‍♀️ #physicaltherapy #playlearnachieve #pediatrictherapy #hoggtherapy

This friend loves to draw and always has a notebook with him (mom says he goes through soooo many pages each week!). His speech therapist, Ms. Georgia, always finds fun ways to practice signing and using his AAC device to create prompts so he can practice writing his letters, spelling his name, and telling her about his current obsessions — right now, he is super interested in space travel! 🔭🪐👽#speechtherapy #hoggtherapy

Meet Summer — a remarkable young woman with a smile that lights up every room! We’re thrilled to celebrate a very special double graduation: Summer recently completed Occupational Therapy and graduated from High School! 🎓🌟💐 Summer has Angelman Syndrome and has spent the past five years working with OT Mrs. Brittany on sensory processing, motor development, feeding skills, self-care skills, fine and visual motor skills, and so much more — all to support her meaningful participation in everyday life. Her care has been a true team effort, with close collaboration between OT, PT, ST, and the incredible support of her mom, Angel. When the COVID-19 pandemic began, Angel started homeschooling to better meet Summer’s unique needs. She turned to Hogg Therapy for one-on-one care, which provided them with tools, equipment, and strategies to build Summer’s independence. From opening Christmas presents to joining Easter egg hunts, Brittany and Angel found creative, adaptive ways to make every childhood moment count. ♥️ Angel shared: 🗣️“We really got what we needed out of therapy because we implement what we’ve learned here at home — and so much of it has become part of our everyday life.” 🗣️“It’s given me the tools to help me parent my child, who has a lot going on, better.” As part of The Joy Project at Hogg Therapy, we were honored to gift Summer professional senior photos to celebrate her incredible achievements. 🎉📸 Summer, your journey inspires us all. Congratulations — we’re so proud of you! ♥️🐷 #AngelmanSyndrome #PediatricTherapy #TheJoyProject #HoggTherapy
