An Important Update from Occupational Therapy In Motion

Since 2011, OT in Motion has been honored to serve Long Island families from combining exceptional therapy services with the unique benefits of nature, animals, and equine movement. Over the years, we have celebrated milestones, overcome challenges, and witnessed incredible growth. Most importantly, we have built meaningful relationship with the individuals and families who make our community so special.
Today, we are sharing some difficult news. After more than 15 years of partnership with Pal-O-Mine Equestrian, we were informed that our lease will not be renewed for 2027 due to financial considerations.
We are deeply saddened by this news, especially knowing how meaningful the relationships with the horses, animals, therapists, and team members have been to so many of our clients and their families. We recognize how much this community means to everyone involved, and we are committed to navigating this transition with care, compassion, and determination.
Occupational Therapy In Motion remains dedicated to providing the specialized, relationship-based care that has made our program so meaningful for so many years. We are actively seeking new partnerships with barns and equestrian facilities across Long Island that share our vision and would be interested in helping us continue this important work.
If you are a Long Island barn owner, equestrian facility, or member of the equine community, who may be interested in partnering with us, we would love to connect with you. We welcome, introductions, recommendations, and the opportunity to explore new possibilities together.
To our families, supporters, and the Long Island community: thank you for your continued trust, loyalty, and encouragement. Please continue attending your scheduled sessions, share our story, and help us spread the word as we work toward the next chapter of OT In Motion.
We will share updates regarding transition dates and our future locations as more information becomes available.

🐴✨Making Everyday Skills Fun Through Hippotherapy!

When fingers bend too much or move too easily, simple tasks like unzipping a zipper can become challenging!
During Hippotherapy, we practice unzipping a zipper attached to a sequence sensory bag filled with gel blocks to provide extra tactile and sensory input while working on finger control and coordination.
The horse’s rhythmic movement challenges, the body to make constant postural adjustments, increasing body awareness, coordination and overall motor control. Hippotherapy offers a motivating, engaging experience in a natural environment, making therapy meaningful and fun while supporting functional skills that carry over into everyday life!

🎯OT and games!🎯
You can work on A LOT of occupational therapy skills through a bunch of games like this one here! Connect 4 works on grasping skills, in-hand manipulation, visual spatial awareness, visual tracking skills and much more!!

Best part is the kids don’t know how much “work” they are putting into it since it’s all fun and games!!!

👶🐶 Tummy time for everyone!

From an OT perspective, tummy time helps babies build the strength and stability they need for important milestones like rolling, sitting, crawling and reaching. It also supports head control, coordination, and body awareness.

And apparently, our furry friends need tummy time too! 🐾 Back to sleep, tummy to play! 💛

📚Back to School! ✏️

This fun activity worked on hand, endurance, and fine motor skills through push, pinning, coloring on a vertical surface, and cutting!
And now it’s proudly displayed on our AMAZING wall! 👏 A hands-on way to build strength and fine motor control while celebrating the start of a new school year! 🍎📖

Who knew clothespins could pack this much therapeutic value?!

A handful of colorful clothespins becomes a fun way to work on pincer grasp, bilateral coordination and midline crossing, while reaching in different planes, and shifting outside their center of gravity.

Add core engagement, postural control, balance and movement through a natural environment, and you’ve got a multi sensory therapy activity that challenges so many skills at once!

And the best part? Our kids are having so much fun, they don’t even realize just how much they are working!

And behind every little win, is an amazing team of parents, caregivers, therapists, teachers and supporters cheering them on every step of the way!

At OT in Motion, we know play is serious work!

Here’s to the kids who keep trying, and the people who keep cheering! 🎉

✨Natural Environment✨

Nature based play is critical in child development, enhancing learning, cognitive growth and providing an overall sense of well being. At OTIM, we have access to the beautiful 13 acre farm for our therapists to utilize during therapy sessions, including a sensory track, adaptive play-ground and small animal interactions (chickens, sheep, miniature horses, and of course horses). We believe in utilizing the natural environment for optimal outcomes and progress. Please visit our website for more information!

👐Bilateral coordination👐
Bilateral coordination is the ability to use both hands at the same time to complete tasks. You can have your hands doing the same thing or your hands can be doing different movements. It is a very important skill to have to complete daily activities such as dressing, eating, writing, catching a ball and much more! 👏

If you have any concerns or questions don’t hesitate to contact us for more information!
