Does your child..

• have difficulty recognizing when they are dysregulated or their emotions are out of control?

• have difficulty using self-reg tools (even with support) in the moments they need them most?

• get down on themselves for having these difficulties?

If you answered yes to any of these characteristics, Powerfully You™ may be the best next step in your OT journey.

As a parent, you’re not alone!

Self-regulation is hard! But together we can help your child do hard things - with our 6-week parent/child Powerfully You™ group.

What is Powerfully You™ ?
