Play Is Important For Adults Too!

We frequently discuss how important play is to children, but did you know that it is important for adults too? Adults who have forgotten how to play can end up experiencing adult play deprivation. Adult play deprivation can affect the ability to handle stressful situations, stay open-minded, and adapt to change. We see this so much in today’s world. While play can look quite a bit different for adults than it does for children, it is no less beneficial. It can help us in our personal lives, work lives, and general well-being. 

According to Dr. Brown, founder of the National Institute for Play, adult play can include art, books, movies, music, comedy, and daydreaming. During adult play, we forget about the stress and commitments that may be weighing us down. It is a pleasurable, fun experience that can include an activity or can just be a state of mind. Adult play is anything that we want to do in our free time, the things that make us happiest or calms our minds. 

Playing together with our loved ones is one of the best things that we can do to bring feelings of closeness into our relationships. It can help to keep things fresh and exciting. Playing together can create a sense of trust and security. The intimate interactions that happen during play can help to resolve hurt feelings and resentments. We can bring more play into our relationships by doing an activity that we enjoy together, or by simply trying to add a little more humor into our interactions. 

Play in the workplace can sometimes be frowned upon today, but it could be a key to our workplace success. Children learn many of the basics about teamwork and social interaction during play. The same thing holds true for adults. A workplace that encourages fun and playfulness will foster employees that are more imaginative, better problem solvers, and more empathetic toward each other. Coworkers who enjoy spending time together will also be more likely to work together as a successful team. 

Play can also be good for our mental health. When we participate in play, our bodies produce “feel-good” chemicals called endorphins. These endorphins can help reduce stress and depression. Challenging our brains through play by playing board games or working on a puzzle can help to improve our cognitive function and memory. Playing can even help us to learn new skills. Learning has been proven to be easier when it is fun. 

For some of us, it has been so long since we have done anything that felt like play that it can be hard to remember what that looks like for us. It can be helpful to remember that play will look different for everyone. We can think of the last time we felt genuinely happy or at peace. What were we doing when we felt that way? If we can identify some of those activities that have made us happy in the past, we can work toward making them part of our life again. 

Play is so important, no matter our age. Incorporating play into our lives is an easy and fun way to better our personal relationships, our workplace success, and our mental health. In the words of George Bernard Shaw, “We don’t stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.”

– Alicia Hisey, DPT

Dinner Time Tips for Children with Autism

Many children with Autism face struggles at dinner time. Whether it is a sensory aversion, a fear of certain foods, deficiencies in fine motor skills, or difficulty participating in conversation, there are many things that we as providers and parents can do to help them. This month, we will look at what we can do to work on fine motor skills and decreasing food aversions at the dinner table. 

Learning to use utensils can be a challenge for some of our kids. One thing that I recommend to parents is to have their child help pick out their preferred utensils. They may want to use the same utensils that parents or older siblings are using, or they may be more comfortable with something completely different. Have them feel the textures of the handles. Do they like smooth or rough handles? The feel of the utensils or the weight of them may be particularly important. Offering our kids choices can help them to feel involved and set them up for a more successful outcome. 

When first using utensils, I often tell the parent to help guide the child’s hand in the appropriate motion and assist them with stabbing or scooping up their food. This helps the child get used to the amount of pressure it takes to get the food onto the fork or spoon. The parent can then release their hand and give the child the independence to bring the food to their mouth. As the child gets more practiced at these motions, the parent can gradually fade out the physical prompt. All these motions are things that we may take for granted as adults, but they are especially important for our children who may be working on their fine motor skills. 

One of the most important things that I stress to parents when working with utensils is consistency. If you are going to work on eating with utensils, then you should follow through with that to the best of your ability. If a food requires the use of a spoon or a fork, then the child should be using one every time. Being inconsistent can cause them to question when they should or should not use utensils. 

The food that you put on your child’s plate can also present important opportunities for learning. Many children on the autism spectrum have aversions to different types of foods. I recommend putting a little bit of whatever you have made for dinner on your child’s plate, even if you are uncertain that they will eat it. Manipulating new foods can help children discover new textures and may leave new scents on their fingers, exposing them to new food groups and smells. Putting the food in their mouth may be too large of a goal, but these smaller accomplishments are great ways to incorporate desensitization to different foods. 

At The Oxford Center, we want to help make each of our kids as successful as possible. If you have questions about our ABA program, please call us at any time. We would love to talk with you and set up a discovery session for your child.

Premier Pet Supply In The Village of The Oxford Center

Our pet supply store is sponsored by Premier Pet Supply. They have 13 locations across Southeast Michigan, offering nearly everything you need to take great care of your furry friends. From food, toys, and even Do-It-Yourself washing stations, they have you covered. Our pet supply store in The Village of The Oxford Center has toys and treats for your dog or cat, fish tank supplies, lizard and snake supplies, and much more! All proceeds from purchases made in our store will go back to The Oxford Kids Foundation.

The Village of The Oxford Center uses our Premier Pet Supply for many Natural Environment Teaching opportunities, along with program based rewards and of course FUN within our non-traditional ABA program. We teach appropriate behaviors within the pet store, such as: the proper way to gain a workers attention, requesting and waiting, how to appropriately interact with pets and their surroundings, tolerating denied access by not taking pets home, and more. We also teach responsibility management on how to care for pets, the cost of pets and the supplies needed in order to own a pet. Last, but not least, FUN! Premier Pet Supply is one of our kiddo’s favorite stores to visit. They absolutely love holding and interacting with the animals there. It’s a great reward for them after they’ve worked so hard to master their goals. 

All of these skills are hugely important for kids within the autism community. At The Oxford Center, we are leaders in advancing the way ABA is done. Premier Pet Supply is an instrumental partner in our program’s success

OUR NEW PARKING LOT AND NEW MAIN ENTRANCE ARE OPEN!

The Maltby Road entrance will soon be closed. Please park in the parking lot on the south side of the building on Whitmore Lake Road. Use the entrance with the beautiful butterfly sculptures.

We are excited to announce our new Culinary Operations Manager, Chef Joe Schaffer. Chef Joe attended Schoolcraft College to study Culinary Arts and has been active in the restaurant industry for 42 years. His experience reaches across all areas of food service including restaurants, country clubs, catering companies, private schools, and now The Oxford Center.

Chef Joe has enjoyed the challenges of the culinary industry. He is excited about his ability to make a direct community impact at The Oxford Center. His favorite parts of his job are teaching parents how to plan and cook healthy meals for their children and ensuring that the kids are eating nutritious foods while they are here.

Chef Joe grew up in Livonia, Michigan and as a child, was always busy. He played baseball, football, basketball, ran track, swam in the family pool, and rode his bike everywhere. He became fascinated by food at an early age. He was enthralled with the smells, the ingredients, the meals, and the cooking shows of the time like, “The Galloping Gourmet” and “Julia Child.”

Both of his parents were incredible cooks. Inspired by the smells and flavors that often came from his family kitchen, he started to experiment with his own recipes. One day when his parents were away, he began pulling ingredients from the refrigerator, freezer, and cupboards, and decided to try his hand at making a milkshake. While the result tasted great, Joe felt that its appearance was just missing something. Running across a little bottle of blue food coloring, he squeezed several drops into his mouth to taste-test it. Finding that it had no flavor, he emptied the rest of the little bottle into his milkshake. This gave just the appearance he was looking for: a deep, atomic blue. When his mother arrived home, the kitchen was clean and there was no evidence of his cooking adventure. That is except for Joe walking into the kitchen and saying “Hello” with his amazingly blue lips and causing her to nearly faint. This began Chef Joe’s culinary journey, and his understanding that a little food coloring goes a long way.

Creating Opportunities, Maximizing Potential, Achieving Successful Skills

 The COMPASS Therapeutic Vocational Training program is ready to start enrollment! It is the first program of its kind, targeted toward young adults with autism or other developmental disabilities who need extra support to move on to their next stage in life. There is a large population of young adults who have graduated with a high school diploma; however, due to post graduation trauma or lack of functional skills, these individuals exhibit deficits in executive functioning and life skills. These deficits lead to an inability to successfully attend college, live independently, and/or obtain meaningful lasting employment.

 The COMPASS TVT program is specifically tailored to address these deficits. We will use our simulated work environment in The Village of The Oxford Center to work on skills that our clients can generalize and use in their careers and education. Some target areas we may work on to achieve success are:

• Internet safety and peer safety
• Learning skills needed to live independently at home
• Planning and navigating public transportation
• Managing a daily schedule
• Interacting with members of the community
• Managing finances
• Successfully maintaining meaningful employment

If you would like more information about the COMPASS program or would like to set up your free discovery session, please contact Matthew Nivison at matthew@oxfordrecoverycenter.com or call 248-486-3636.

New ABA Director

We are excited to announce our new ABA Director, Jessica Dodson. Jessica attended Calvin College and graduated with a degree in Psychology, minoring in Social Work. She attended Western Michigan University to obtain her master’s degree in Behavioral Analysis. She then went on to acquire her Board-Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) certification.

During a gap year in college, Jessica began working as a behavior technician. Among her first clients was a sixteen-year-old boy with Autism who had limited vocal and functional living skills. Over the first few months of working with him, he learned to vocally request to eat, brush his teeth, and engage in independent leisure skills. Seeing the impact that ABA therapy can make, even for older children, was the catalyst that set her on her career path and inspired her to obtain her BCBA certification.

As the Director of ABA, Jessica is passionate about helping the staff at Oxford Recovery Center grow. She believes that an exceptional staff equates to an exceptional client experience. Her goal is to continue expanding ABA Academy as well as Camp ABA. She feels that Oxford Recovery Center’s focus on the skills most appropriate for each child, as well as their family, is what sets us apart. The ability to combine ABA therapy with all other services available at Oxford Recovery Center, such as Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Speech Therapy, Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment and Neurofeedback, is something that she finds extremely exciting. Having doctors and nurses on staff to assist with treatment plans is something most other ABA programs do not offer and is a huge benefit to her as a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst.

In her free time, Jessica enjoys playing board games and hanging out with her three cats. She sees her time at Oxford Recovery Center as one of her greatest achievements.

Post COVID-19 Treatment

COVID-19 can cause long lasting symptoms for those who have had the virus. Research studies are showing Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy can help with many post COVID symptoms such as fatigue, loss of taste and smell, brain fog, headaches, memory problems, malaise/lethargy, and more. Research suggests that capillary damage, inflammation, and low blood oxygen levels may contribute to post COVID symptoms. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy has been proven to reduce inflammation, saturate plasma with oxygen, and increase stem cell circulation up to 800% which enhances the body’s ability to heal itself.  Oxford Recovery Center has had tremendous success in treating post COVID. Whether you have recently had COVID or if you had it in the past, hyperbaric oxygen therapy can help you in your COVID recovery.

New Building Update

Our new ABA Center is well on its way, with framing for our one-of-a-kind village currently in progress. When completed, we will be able to offer services to our clients that haven’t even been imagined at other ABA or Autism centers.

Our BCBA Shannon says:

“We’ll have all kinds of opportunities to target behaviors from being on a playscape, to practicing in a dentist or salon chair, ordering coffee, or going to a dollar store. Everything in this environment will mimic what it looks like in the community. There are curbs, there’s a walkway, we’ll have kids with bicycles and scooters navigating the environment here so that it will make them more successful in the natural environment. The indoor playscape was built to allow them to play with other children and to be more successful when they are playing elsewhere, like a local park or playground. Those are just some of the features that we have that will help to make our children successful.”

HELP KIDS LIKE HADLEY GAIN ACCESS TO LIFE CHANGING THERAPIES NOT COVERED BY TRADITIONAL INSURANCE.

“Thank you, Oxford Recovery Center. You gave me my baby. Thank you for turning him into a little person. You saw possibilities in him when other people didn’t.” Megan is talking about her nine-year-old son Hadley. Hadley has Down Syndrome and has been a patient at Oxford Recovery Center for most of his life. 

At fourteen months old, his family made their first trip from Southwestern Michigan to Oxford Recovery Center for Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. At that time, Hadley was not able to sit up. After six days and twelve treatments, he was able to sit with support, and even began to crawl. A little over a year later, TheraSuit Physical Therapy was added to Hadley’s routine and at two and a half, Hadley began walking for the first time. At just over three years old, he began recognizing shapes, colors, letters, and letter sounds. At four years old, he went from a word count of twenty-five before his round of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy to a word count of one hundred after.  

At the age of five, Hadley’s family made the life changing decision to move closer to Oxford Recovery Center. Hadley was then able to experience the wealth of additional opportunities available. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, Neurofeedback Therapy, Speech Therapy, ABA, and Physical Therapy were all utilized. Because of these additional therapies, Hadley began self-feeding, reading, writing, and was even potty trained. 

Last April, Hadley received a grant from the Oxford Kids Foundation for Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy and Neurofeedback Training. At nine years old he is making great strides in vocabulary, comprehension, and memory retention. He had previously not been able to participate in his church’s Bible memory group because of his inability to remember Bible verses. That all changed recently when he memorized all of Psalm 23. Megan credits much of this to his most recent therapies.

A lot is happening at Oxford Recovery Center this fall!

There have been so many incredible changes at Oxford Recovery Center so far this fall. We have been successful in treating Post COVID-19 Long Hauler Syndrome through Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, breakthroughs in treating Parkinson’s through the use of Neurofeedback sessions and Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, new additions to our medical department, and our stunning 35,000 square-foot building will be completed ahead of schedule! Read more below

Breakthrough Treatments for Parkinson’s Disease

 Oxford Recovery Center has developed a Parkinson’s program with a multi-faceted strategy towards treating Parkinson’s Disease.  ORC has had remarkable success treating patients with Parkinson’s Disease using research based therapies including Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, Neurofeedback, and Glutathione therapies, to approach treatment from multiple angles.  Our holistic and evidence-based program has helped many patients this year, including Calvin Close.

Calvin spent the month of October with us at ORC and has had many positive changes in his journey with Parkinson’s Disease. Calvin was diagnosed about 18 months ago and immediately started the search for alternative treatments as he was not satisfied with current standard of care for Parkinson’s, which was medication after medication. Calvin participated in 40 Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy treatments, twice daily Neurofeedback treatments, as well as glutathione injections. In the testimonial video linked above, Calvin talks about what his life was like before treatments at Oxford Recovery Center, and how his life has changed since.

Treating Post COVID-19 Long Hauler Syndrome

COVID-19 can cause long lasting symptoms for those who have recovered from the active virus. Research studies are showing Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy can help with many COVID Long Hauler symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, headaches, memory problems, malaise/lethargy, and more. Research suggests that capillary damage, inflammation, and low blood oxygen levels may contribute to post COVID symptoms. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy has been proven to reduce inflammation, saturate plasma with oxygen, and increase stem cell circulation up to 800% which enhances the body’s ability to heal itself. Oxford Recovery Center has helped many people over the last couple of months reduce or even eliminate these long hauler symptoms through the use of HBOT Treatments.

New Building Project Update

Construction on the state-of-the-art 35,000 sq ft autism center is well under way and is even slightly ahead of schedule. The new center is expected to open at the beginning of April 2022 and will house our ARTS program which includes ABA, Occupational, Speech, and Physical Therapies. These therapy services are also available in our current building for those not enrolled in our ARTS program. Our medical staff will continue to practice out of our current building along with HBOT and Neurofeedback Therapy, although HBOT will be adding three additional chambers.

 The new center will have a village where children with Autism will be able to learn in real-life situations. The village will include a gift store, coffee shop, bakery, salon, bank kiosk, and much more. The village will also have sidewalks and curbs to help children with autism learn behavior appropriate for different environments. The sidewalks are in, and the road will be poured soon!

 The village will not only be utilized by our ARTS program, but Oxford Recovery Center has also created a therapeutic vocational training program for young adults with autism. This revolutionary program will help them learn the behaviors they need to be successful in the workplace.

 Introducing COMPASS TVT (Creating Opportunities, Maximizing Potential, and Achieving Successful Skills through Therapeutic Vocational Training), a therapeutic vocational therapy program for young adults with autism who have graduated high school or earned a college degree. Young adults with autism often struggle to be successful in the workplace due to difficulties from a behavioral aspect. COMPASS TVT is not a traditional vocational program for young adults with autism, rather it addresses behavior skills needed to be successful in the workforce.

 The COMPASS TVT program will help young adults with autism develop proper behavior while exposing them to different situations in a real work environment. They will be able to use the stores in The Village of ORC (that is within the new center) to master the skills, along with opportunity to transition to a job of their interest.

 We believe young adults with autism deserve the best! That is why we are so excited to offer COMPASS to young adults in our community.

We Are Growing!

Saying Oxford Recovery Center is growing is a bit of an understatement! When Oxford Recovery Center moved into our 32,000 square foot Brighton campus from our 1,800 square foot facility in South Lyon, we never thought we would outgrow the space. Two years later, we are busting at the seams. We have broken ground on a 35,000 square foot expansion to our main Brighton facility that will more than double our space!

In 2020, we started leasing an extra suite for our Troy facility. The 5,000 square foot addition provides much-needed space for our growing ARTS™ autism services program, as well as space for our speech and occupational therapy areas.

Next, 6,500 square feet of space was completed inside our main Brighton facility. The expanded space features new, state-of-the-art physical therapy rooms equipped with universal exercise units, pilates reformers, and TheraSuit™ Intensive Therapy. We also add a Solo-Step Tracking System and were told by the installers that it is second in size only to Harvard Medical School. The system aids in balance and prevents patients from falling. It allows our staff to concentrate on therapeutic activity without worrying about the patient’s safety. In the new space, occupational therapy rooms, a staff area, and a multi-functional room were also added.

In early 2021, we further renovated our campus on Fieldcrest, adding over 3,000 square feet of usable space for our ARTS™ programs. Located next to Island Lake State Park, the Fieldcrest campus houses our Camp ABA and ABA Academy programs.

On May 17th, we broke ground on a 35,000 square foot expansion to our main Brighton facility. The expansion is designed for new, unique autism programs unlike any in the country!

“We are excited about the new construction,” says our Founder and CEO, Dr. Tami Peterson. “It will allow us to offer innovative programs and services needed by many in the autism community.”

Stay tuned for weekly emails with construction updates!
