Late winter therapy can feel heavy—the holidays are long gone, energy is low, behaviors feel harder, and planning suddenly feels like one more thing on an already full plate.

In today’s episode, we’re talking about winter therapy ideas with a very intentional twist. This is not about complicated themes, Pinterest-level prep, or reinventing your sessions every week. Instead, this episode is all about keeping winter therapy simple, effective, and sustainable.

We’ll talk through why winter is not the time to overhaul your therapy, how predictable routines actually support your students more during this season, and how planning by skill instead of theme can drastically reduce decision fatigue.

I’ll share easy, low-effort ways to “winter-ize” the activities you already use—whether you’re working with little ones in play-based sessions or older students using more structured activities—so you can refresh therapy without burning yourself out.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, uninspired, or overwhelmed by therapy planning this time of year, this episode is your reminder that you’re not doing anything wrong—you probably just need simpler systems, not more ideas.

Grab your coffee, take a breath, and let’s make winter therapy easier on you.
