What if this school year ran like Chick-fil-A?

But alas… it’s not Chick-fil-A.
It’s more like a drive-thru that forgot your order and made you do carpool duty instead. 😩

Let’s make it better anyway with systems, support, and snacks. (Heavy on the snacks)

👇 Tag your favorite therapy cow-worker & tell me: What would your Chick-fil-A school fantasy include?

Back-to-school season is exciting… but it’s also exhausting. Between new schedules, paperwork, evaluations, meetings, and lesson planning, it’s easy to run yourself ragged before September even ends.

But here’s the truth… the most effective therapists + teachers aren’t the ones who hustle 24/7. They’re the ones who protect their energy, stay regulated, and show up as their best selves for their students.

✨ A few small but powerful ways to make that happen:

Set a “hard stop” time on work each evening and stick to it. Emails can wait.

Batch your planning + paperwork during the week so weekends are freer.

Build in micro-breaks during the school day (stretch, deep breath, short walk); regulation isn’t just for kids!

Prioritize sleep + movement like you would a meeting. Your body and brain need it.

Say no to extra commitments if you’re already maxed out. Protecting your boundaries protects your effectiveness.

Your students don’t need a superhero who never rests, they need a present, regulated adult who has the energy to connect, problem-solve, and encourage them. 💜

So this weekend, give yourself permission to unplug, recharge, and remember: rest is part of the work.

🚫💥 Hot Take for School-Based OTs & Teachers 💥🚫
I don’t use reward charts, treasure boxes, or prize bins in my school-based occupational therapy sessions… and here’s why.

If you’ve ever struggled with student motivation, behavior, or engagement, you might be relying on external rewards when what kids really need is skill-building, intrinsic motivation, and meaningful, functional activities. 🙌

Let’s talk about why ditching rewards can actually improve participation, independence, and carryover, especially in special education and related services.

In honor of Taylor Swift’s new album, I present: The Life of a School-Based OT, a track list inspired by the chaos, joy, and caffeine of the school year.

From upbeat pop anthems to slow-burn acoustic laments, there’s a song here for every therapist mood.

Which track are you listening to on repeat right now? 🎤

Scheduling week is basically speed dating with teachers… except you’re trying to make it work for everyone at once. 🗓✨

Two things that completely changed how I schedule as a school-based OT:
1️⃣ A Google Form for teachers to share availability & info before I make my schedule.
2️⃣ A simple printed sticky note template that reminds teachers of their therapy times once they’re set.

You can DIY your own or grab my ready-to-use versions by commenting SCHEDULE!

What’s your #1 scheduling struggle this year?

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but… you don’t have to do it all perfectly to do it well.

The start of the school year comes with big energy, fresh planners, new systems, and big goals. And yes, it is a great time to make changes. But it’s also a season where your brain and body are working overtime to adjust.

Give yourself permission to:
✨ Start small instead of overhauling everything at once
✨ Let go of something that’s not serving you
✨ Rest without guilt
✨ Be proud of progress, not perfection

This year, you don’t have to earn your own care. You deserve it every single day!

What’s one gentle thing you can do for yourself this week? 💛

#SchoolOT #OTDocumentation #EfficientOTs #SOAPnotes #OTorganization #BackToSchoolOT #ADHDTherapistTips

Tired of rewriting the same notes over and over? These printable SOAP sticky notes are one of my favorite time-saving hacks, especially when documentation is piling up fast!

I designed this template to keep my brain on track and my workflow efficient (even on days when I’m running on caffeine and chaos). If you’ve ever sat staring at an open note thinking, “Wait… what did I even do today?” — this one’s for you. 🙃

Efficient OTs aren’t just “naturally organized,” they build systems that support their energy, time, and sanity. Especially during the back-to-school scramble, it’s not about doing more, it’s about doing what works for YOU.

Confession time: I’m a Type B therapist with ADHD. 🙃 Organization never came naturally to me! I used to rely on memory and vibes. But once I finally started building systems that fit the way my brain works, everything changed. Less stress. Fewer frantic mornings. More time to actually enjoy the job I love. 💛

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by session planning, progress monitoring, or keeping up with 900 IEP meetings, you’re not alone.

This year, let’s ditch the chaos and start with systems that make sense, ones that match your caseload, your strengths, and your actual life.

You deserve tools that serve you, not the other way around.

As OTs, we help others find joy and meaning in their daily occupations, but we have our own too 💛

These are a few of my favorite occupations… the ones that fill my cup outside of work.

What meaningful occupations help you feel like yourself?

Ever wondered what happens when a therapist with too many labels, not enough patience, and absolutely zero chill tries to laminate on a deadline?

✨Chaos. Absolute chaos.✨

But hey, the labels got laminated and I only jammed the machine once. That’s what we call growth.

Whether you’re Team “Prepped in July” or “Printing at 7:45 AM,” just know you’re not alone in the back-to-school madness.
