24.01.2022 Awkward. Too much fun mountain biking, going to swimming lessons, snacking at playgrounds and playing giant games of hide and seek at parks... and forgot to tick a box on the account settings. Emails are back online but if you have sent anything in the last two weeks it’s probably been deleted by google. Get in touch (phone or email now ). Joel

24.01.2022 Were all missing our local enriching environments! But things are slowly reopening so time to make some calls and book in sessions! I hear VRC has reset the gym #betterbraverbolder #occupationaltherapy #mentoring

23.01.2022 Ticking off some independence goals! Todays weekly therapy session where we ride to the local shopping centre, buy lunch, then ride home. Developing then fine-tuning the following skills: planning, spatial awareness, road safety, pedestrian safety, money management, communicating the lunch order to the sushi people, multi-tasking, reciprocal conversation, considering the weather when making plans, considering other errands that should be done while youre out... ... I could list these off all day, but the short version is: its great watching someone navigate complex environments successfully after many weeks (arguably, years) of practice! #betterbraverbolder

22.01.2022 I am a huge fan of manipulating the environment for therapeutic gain. See for yourself the difference in visual complexity in Honeycombs when you play on a mat vs on floor boards. Honey Combs makes an appearance in most therapy sessions at Better Braver Bolder due to its versatility and visual processing demands. #occupationaltherapy #mentoring #youth #ndis

22.01.2022 #OccupationalTherapy session flat-lay from last weekend: #yogaball for challenging postural control during fine motor tasks #threading games for reinforcing ‘back’ ‘front’ ‘in’ ‘out’ (you need to know what these words mean for your body movements in order to dress yourself!) #memorycards for basic recall skills but modified this week to strengthen visual scanning and discrimination (looking for matching pictures on this mat is hard!!) #dottydinosaurs because it’s fun Orchard Toys Ltd

21.01.2022 Never forgetting siblings: A bit of healthy competition between siblings at the playground might go a long way for your child's daily routine or social skill goals. When it is going to be useful to reach your child's goals, siblings, cousins and even best friends can be included in Better Braver Bolder OT and mentoring sessions. [email protected]... Adelaide, Northern Suburbs and Barossa Valley Saturdays, Sundays and Video Therapy availability #occupationaltherapy #mentoring #youth

19.01.2022 The Untethered VR visits have to be the best mentoring sessions from 2020!! Does your child’s mentoring look like this? #betterbraverbolder #mentoring #occupationaltherapy

19.01.2022 A throw to winter grass lining our trails. This photo is from such a great day of mountain biking during one of our mentoring sessions last winter. What it doesn’t capture is the swamp we found ourselves stuck in about 10 minutes later. We think it’s so great to learn about resilience, persistence, letting go of control and rigidity in these natural environments. Dirtier than in a therapy room of course, but arguably way more fun. Want to try?

19.01.2022 Is this what your childs OT sessions look like? Do you think they should? Get in touch! [email protected] Saturday & Sunday sessions available Adelaide, Northern Suburbs & the Barossa region

19.01.2022 Love love love Woodhouse!

18.01.2022 This weekend has been a busy one for @better_braver_bolder families and the rain certainly hasnt helped with planning engaging activities. But a few card games, one indoor court hire and a trial of a new school work organising app later and weve made it to Sunday night. I always feel like there should be a semester on planning therapy with poor weather at OT school!! #betterbraverbolder #phase10 #occupationaltherapy #mentoring

18.01.2022 Love love love these sorts of messages! The hardest part of therapy is coming up with new goals after youve absolutely smashed the old ones! #sharedwithconsent #betterbraverbolder #occupationaltherapy #mentoring #youth

18.01.2022 This photo always reminds me of the #WholeBrainChild strategy: Move it Or Lose it. Theres something so primal and therapeutic about getting your body moving in times of pressure or stress. Obviously, its at the core of OT too: unlike doing OT to learn a new functional skill (like learning how to lay-up or how to brush your teeth ), you can harness the power of an intensive movement activity (like a 1 v 1 basketball game) to reach a different therapy outcome (like sharing a worry that is keeping you from being brave). Sometimes, talking about our difficulties is just too hard to do seated. Rest assured, if we are sitting and talking in a therapy session, its likely only because one of us is puffed! #BetterBraverBolder #OccupationalTherapy

17.01.2022 Some good news in my inbox today! Were frequent flyers at @bounce.adelaide and so excited to hear that we can return soon! #bounce #occupationaltherapy #mentoring #betterbraverbolder

15.01.2022 Im so excited to get to share what Better Braver Bolder weekends look like! Heres a general idea of what to expect.

14.01.2022 Im always reminded of the power of feeling seen, understood and remembered in therapy. That this is the building block of learning something new about your world is totally underestimated. #betterbraverbolder

13.01.2022 It is so good to build up independent living skills! It can take a lot of practice and fine-tuning, but it is worth it when you can ride your bike to the chicken & chips shop on a Sunday afternoon or get yourself dressed for school. A small snapshot of some independence goals weve been working on this year #occupationaltherapy #independence #goals

13.01.2022 Some light reading Emerging Minds Australia

12.01.2022 Cycling between: is this thing over yet & thank goodness I dont need to leave the house tonight . Anyone else feeling the zoom fatigue?? Im certainly excited to start getting back into the real world - new posts in the next week to show where we frequently had therapy and mentoring sessions last year. ... #betterbraverbolder #occupationaltherapy

10.01.2022 Bouncy boomerang thing

09.01.2022 Occupational Therapy in the media

08.01.2022 Front and centre in everything we do. Make sure the people in your corner see you, hear you and care for you. It will shape you in ways that you wont even believe! #BetterBraverBolder

07.01.2022 This is how the end of OT sessions at Better Braver Bolder look. Packing up the toys and tools is part of the process - think about all the shoulder strength and postural control you can practice using when you climb over couches to look for the ping pong ball that went missing, or when you crawl under the table to collect up all the crayons! Matching puzzle pieces to the correct box, using fine motor skills to sharpen pencils and even working on visual discrimination by wiping kinetic sand off cups. Don’t be surprised if ‘packing up’ starts earlier in the session than you’re used to - it’s just as therapeutic! #betterbraverbolder #youth #mentoring #occupationaltherapy #kineticsand #puzzles

06.01.2022 Isolation is really tough for everyone. Zoom and FaceTime therapy catch-ups have been great over the last few weeks and I couldnt be more thrilled to offer the opportunity to my clients to chat about their goals in a way that doesnt compromise their health. #betterbraverbolder

06.01.2022 After a few weeks of soggy conditions, the last few days of sunlight have created some amazing trail conditions of biking! Looking forward to a 10am session tomorrow - fingers crossed we stay puncture free
