18.01.2022 Autism is: Unable to speak, or maybe speaking too much Hugging everyone, or disliking touch Escaping outside, Or trying to hide... Excitedly flapping Inappropriate clapping Autism varies so much Won't wear a coat, or wears one all year round Fussy eater, or would eat dirt from the ground Screaming or humming Annoyingly drumming Toys in a line The same way every time Autism varies so much Struggling to learn, or has wonderful gifts Obsessions of numbers, trains, films or lifts Spinning around Throws things on the ground Constantly spitting Aggressively hitting Autism varies so much Alone without friends, or controls every game Always looks different, always dresses the same Swinging on doors Head banging on floors Freaks at the dryer Keeps climbing higher Autism varies so much. Can't answer questions, won't do as they're told In their own world or bossy and bold Over prepared Anxious and scared A spectrum so wide But they all bring us pride When autism touches our lives. I support autism awareness always **original author unknown.**

10.01.2022 Welcome to our OT student, Macey! Macey is joining our team for the next 8 weeks and is currently in her final year of Occupational Therapy at Latrobe University. You might see her on your Telehealth session! The profession of Occupational Therapy appealed to Macey because OT's can work with clients of all ages and they can work in numerous settings. In her spare time she likes to explore nature, listen and play music, and socialise with friends. We hope you have a great time with us learning all about the world of paediatrics! #otstudents #latrobeuni #clinicalplacement #learning #teaching #sharedknowledge

07.01.2022 Toys dont need to be expensive to be exciting. In fact, the more open ended toys are, the better for imagination and creativity. To create this game, add some uncooked pasta with a few drops of food colouring into a ziplock bag and shake until coated. Allow to dry and let the fun begin! Hide some animals, letters or numbers, see how many you can pick up and hold in one hand, draw or practice threading for some variation. #homemadegames #ot #paedsot #imagination #openendedtoys #hoursoffun #messyplay #sensorygames #allages #funlabtherapy

07.01.2022 Happy Mothers Day to all of the amazing Fun Lab mums. We hope you are enjoying a relaxing day. We see you, and the work and effort you put in daily, showing up, supporting, loving and advocating. Thank you for all you do. #mothersday #myamazingmum #shoutouttomymama

04.01.2022 Happy OT week to our amazing staff and clients! This year, the theme focuses on supporting people to participate in activities they find meaningful after disruption, such as living through a pandemic, bushfires, drought or flood. Occupational therapists are vital in helping our communities through disaster recovery. As disaster survivors reengage in disrupted occupations (such as daily routines, activities and employment), they can better cope with stress and be supported through their recovery. #thisisot #rebuildrecoverreengage #otweek #otweek2020 #letsdothistogether
