25.01.2022 Now is the time to pace and look after our lovely selves https://www.theage.com.au//for-high-achievers-the-pandemic

25.01.2022 Excited (and a bit tired now if I’m honest ) to have done my first online presentation - for all the lovely families @semba who are supporting their children to be school ready! We wish you all the best!

24.01.2022 Thanks for flagging such great info Building Blocks Therapy - excellent resources and explanations

24.01.2022 Thanks Building Blocks Therapy - a great way to understand why some children (and adults) find it more challenging to regulate

22.01.2022 Sadly even more relevant in this current climate https://news.curtin.edu.au//curtins-latest-mooc-to-addres/

22.01.2022 Hang in there everyone, we are thinking of you. We will revert to Telehealth and other arrangements that we may have had with you last time around in lock down. Sessions will continue next week even though the school term has been delayed.... Take care and keep in touch See more

21.01.2022 More beautiful masks, always nice to support small business as well Raphael Jr.

21.01.2022 Some good thoughts to consider

21.01.2022 We are looking forward to term 2, we have had a fabulous response to sessions during the holidays and are ready to hit the ground running again! We will post a collection of ‘stories’ about our online experiences

20.01.2022 A nice addition to home school is happening today!

19.01.2022 Thank you to our amazing front line workers

16.01.2022 Some thoughts to round off the week https://www.instagram.com/p/CCGdX_lBU1G/?igshid=b4eaaeitkhv4

16.01.2022 Millie is a very special friend, I’m so proud of her business that she has set up. She has also pivoted to now supply the current mask making situation. Have a look on her insta page for the range of colours!

16.01.2022 We have been so glad we can journey with our amazing families and support during this challenging time. There have definitely been highs and lows. We love that so many families have reached out and shared where they’re at from a personal perspective. There have been some opportunities for children and families to enjoy the slower pace and for others this time of online learning has been fraught with high stress and pure disaster. As always we are working to be innovative and ...flexible and this will be the case for the support we can offer as we prepare for when children can go back to school when the time is right. I can’t thank my amazing team enough (Keeleigh, Emma, Sacha, Lauren, Vanessa, Skye, Aisling, Amelia, Simon and Ollie) for all of their support, dedication and flexibility! We have never worked so hard and the benefits have never been more rewarding.

16.01.2022 This was shared by my friend who is a Paramedic, might be a good sensory alternative

16.01.2022 A fabulous thought Thanks Building Blocks Therapy

14.01.2022 In light of the Government updates, just a reminder that we have to remain Telehealth only until we can move to stage 3 restrictions. We are so thankful to have been able to support so many amazing children and families through this time At that point we can offer limited face to face sessions on a priority needs basis. We will be working to transition back to face to face and resume school sessions as soon as possible!... We hope you are keeping safe and sane.

12.01.2022 Look out for our interviews in #theaustralian and #thecanberratimes next week as Ollie and I represent Connecting OT and OT Australia and discuss our articles (that are to being published in the OT Australia magazine) around helping families cope with lockdown and helping to think about the transition back to school and work whenever that may be! Personally and professionally this has been a challenging time yet there have been many silver linings, we hope this is the case for you too

12.01.2022 Whilst this seems to be all about hand writing, in actual fact we are working on so much more! As OT’s we support children’s mental health and ability to feel good about themselves through directly targeting functional skills that may be causing frustration and angst. This may be skills such as writing, how to make and keep friends, the physical skills needed for play, their ability to emotional regulate through the expected and unexpected and many more.... We are so great for be able to support so many families through this difficult time, we love nothing more than being able to make a difference in someone’s life Channel 7

12.01.2022 A great overview of why sensory regulation and sensory diets are so important for us all!

10.01.2022 Here we have our amazing Keeleigh working away with her companion Ollie A big thanks to Keeleigh as she has been especially patient and meticulous whilst we have been experiencing some accounting IT issues Please reach out to us if you are missing communications (eg invoices)!... Keeleigh and Kate’s brains sync at all times and like all of our team we couldn’t do it without her!

06.01.2022 HB little Prince We love seeing children getting their hands dirty! #sensoryplay #relaxingtime #paceyourself #decompression #howdoyoustaycalm

05.01.2022 Even though we are not returning to school right now these 4 steps still apply. Particularly having communication and a visual plan are always important. Also being a detective and being flexible with what happens next! All the best and never hesitate to reach out if you want to chat further

02.01.2022 Sleep is so so important for us all, now more then ever we need quality sleep to cope with the constant change, challenge and anxiety that is creeping into our days https://www.theage.com.au//uk-science-adviser-on-coronavir

02.01.2022 We love sharing helpful resources

01.01.2022 I definitely agree, more awareness is needed https://mamamia.com.au/fasd-symptoms/

01.01.2022 Now more than ever.. https://awarenessact.com/stop-teaching-children-to-never-b/

01.01.2022 Time will tell what the next steps are, we hope that all our families have a safe and calm transition back to school when possible. Change and uncertainty are often anxiety provoking, remember this is actually a natural reaction and we need to be kind to ourselves and realistic about expectations
