Owl Necklaces

For those of you who love owls and want to support a good cause… I am now selling a limited edition Occupational Therapy Awareness Owl Necklace.  Fifty percent of the proceeds collected from these owls will be donated to Autism Awareness.  Please e-mail me if you have any questions about occupational therapy, autism, or my special owl necklaces.

Thanks-

For me here: OT Awareness Owl

Just one more month until National Occupational Therapy month!  In celebration of Occupational Therapy Month I will be selling a special OT Awareness Owl.  Look for the Occupational Therapy Awareness Owl Necklace coming soon.  50% of my proceeds will be donated to Autism Awareness.

Occupational therapy enables people of all ages live life to its fullest by helping them promote health, prevent—or live better with—injury, illness, or disability. It is a practice deeply rooted in science and is evidence-based, meaning that the plan designed for each individual is supported by data, experience, and “best practices” that have been developed and proven over time.

Occupational therapists and occupational therapy assistants focus on “doing” whatever occupations or activities are meaningful to the individual. It is occupational therapy’s purpose to get beyond problems to the solutions that assure living life to its fullest. These solutions may be adaptations for how to do a task, changes to the surroundings, or helping individuals to alter their own behaviors.

Thank you for AOTA for that helpful information (2010).

Sometimes I have to post adorable pictures of my niece just because…. well…. she is darn cute and I want to share.  She went shopping yesterday to purchase a dress so she could look pretty for the lunch lady

More Owl Necklaces Fan-Mail!

I just wanted to tell you how much I LOVE my MJ owl necklace!  After seeing “This Is It with Michael Jackson”, I remember how talented he was and remember growing up with his music. The loss of him was so terrible and sudden that you making a necklace to commemorate him makes the necklace all the more special! So thanks again!!!

Take Care,

Heidi

Dear Owl Necklaces Fans,
