Just a reminder before the "big announcement."

Autism was differentiated from schizophrenia back in 1911. Tylenol was created in 1955.

Anyone trying to tell you that Tylenol causes autism is entirely full of shit.

Always and truly grateful for supportive and knowledgeable women in my circle who I can rely on for professional insight.

Also I just want to make a zine in general lol

[Jen Amador, MS, OTR/L @JKA_OTS]

Random but making a zine as a goodbye gift for some of my older clients feels like such a good idea

Wearing fun socks that people can see is a pediatric OT perk for sure #animalcrossing #pediatricOT #earlyintervention #targetsocks

@GoldenC688 @KateHolberg @LGlaucomflecken This makes sense.

[Jen Amador, MS, OTR/L @JKA_OTS]

Great things at work this week:
- a final visit where the kid wanted all of his EI workers to play his toy guitars & we looked like a band
- playing peekaboo w/ a client and his 5 year old sister
- supervision in person!
- making time for lunch
- feeling confident at work

As a Developmental Pediatrician I’m begging you to wear a mask, get vaxxed and boosted

So many children under 5, with chronic medical conditions, medical complexity, immunocompromise

It costs you nothing to protect these children

I'm officially requesting to have the word 'lazy' removed from our language.

Too many ppl use it as an insult; many as unknowing internal ableism.

I believe there's always a reason for someone's lack of motivation. Low energy, inertia, anxiety...But not laziness.

Anyone agree?

[Jen Amador, MS, OTR/L @JKA_OTS]

@SigningOTQueen Lol this is true and exactly what I did.

What a really lovely print from @HannahtheOT Etsy shop! Thank you! Now I am trying to decide if I want to hang it up in my room or in my office space/cubicle 💕 #boringselfcare #help #britishsignlanguage
