The New Clinic for OT Connection

Most of you know I'm an OT by education. I really do love my profession. I'm not really "working" right now since I'm home with Sugar and Spice. However, eventually I will probably return to the work force since I really do enjoy it. My delima at that time will be where to actually sign on. I love the hours and schedule of the school system. It's what I've done for most of my career and it works really well with having young children. However, I met a fantastic OT at a seminar I presented in San Antonio and I've done a bit of PRN here and there for her for the past three years. I love Katie and I love all that she stands for. She really does love the kids and has their best interest at heart. Plus, she's one savvy business woman and really does everything right. She's who Rob teases that I want to be when I "grow up". Nah, I never want her stress. ;)

Anyhow, she has just completed construction on a totally new facility up in Pfluegerville. To say it's the best clinic I could imagine as both a therapist and a client, would be an understatement. Seriously, if you ever need OT and you live in this area, you would be foolish to go elsewhere.

Well, she needed some promo shots for some new brochures and I offered up my camera. I then spoke with Erin of PureWonder and, knowing she really enjoys photographing for special needs families, I offered up her services as well. I'm hoping if Katie hangs a few prints in the lobby, it may drum up some business for Erin. We decided last minute this morning to round up some "models" and head over to the clinic. I was really just the "second shooter" so I was spending more time helping her than clicking my own camera. However, I feel like I got a few good shots and thought I would share them here. Enjoy!
This is only one of two ginormous gyms. There are around 10 or so individual treatment rooms. A feeding room, two speech rooms, a fine motor room, a technology room, a sensory room, a dramatic play room, it's really amazing.... Can you see the climbing wall and the fort that you can jump off into the crash pit? Katie seriously thought of everything when she designed this.

There is even a huge outdoor area since we have such great weather here for a large part of the year.



A zip line... see what I mean? Everything!


On a side, here is what I put together for my annual photo album. I thought about just posting these, but Rob says people prefer the bigger photos. What do you think? Last time I posted this question, only my sister responded. My goal of the blog is not to be super famous or anything, but just to keep in touch with family and friends. So, comment away, what do you think? Is it worth my extra effort to do both? Or does anyone even read this that isn't going to get the full sized book at the end of the year anyhow? :) Happy New Year!

Hi Marti!! Happy New Year! In response to your question...I prefer the large pics and text that I can read for the blog. The pages are cute, but it's really hard to read when it's that small.
Love,
Cole

I do not get the book at the end of the year. I prefer the normal blog so that I can read it.
