24.01.2022 We are so proud of our little elfie, when she sneaks out she doesn’t take selfies. She creeps around Lime Legends, to play her games and learn some lessons!... Reading books is her favourite, She likes to go slow, just to savour it! When choosing books for her to read, She likes rhymes and books that repeat. They help her hear the words and sounds, So she can learn to spell verbs and nouns. Dear Zoo, Possum Magic, and The Gruffalo, Cat in the Hat, Room on the Broom - come on, let’s go! Oh Dear and The Caterpillar that’s Very Hungry, Where’s Spot?, Magic Beach and The Wonkey Donkey. All the books Lucy recommends, Are amazing from beginning to end! From reading ‘Each Peach Pear Plum’, to when the giant says Fee Fi Fo Fum Lucy’s favourite thing to do, Is share her books with all of you! #elfontheshelf #elfonthebookshelf #books #reading #limetherapy #therapy #bookworm

21.01.2022 So true! Tune into Autism with your eyes, ears and heart. People try to communicate in all ways, be patient and kind enough to listen. #LimeTherapy

20.01.2022 Around 1.2 million Australians have a communication disability. Though, communication disability is largely invisible. Unseen and out-of-sight. That’s why during Speech Pathology Week, we as a team aim to raise awareness of communication disability and the important work speech pathologists do to ensure everyone is ‘communicating with confidence’. Our Speech Pathologists at Lime Therapy are passionate about working with people of all ages who need support developing their so...cial skills and conversational skills that many of us take for granted every day. Our team have expertise in aiding adults and children to improve their speech sounds, language skills, stuttering, swallowing and feeding, as well as increasing access to the community through communication skills. We are currently accepting referrals for both paediatric and adult clients who require support in these areas. If you have any questions, or would like to book an appointment please call our clinic today on (03) 5022 0955. #SPweek #SpeakUp4CommRights #WeSpeechies

20.01.2022 Looking for some art for your child’s room? Having an alphabet chart in the home from an early age is crucial to assist your child in a leg up in their literacy skills. Make sounds a staple in the home from day 1! Most importantly; focus on the SOUND the letter makes, as is this more important than the NAME of the letter. Eg ambulance begins with a-a-a like in apple. Be mindful in pictures like this one that we want to teach children the vowel sounds in their basic form Eg I should stand for ink or igloo, the ice cream truck in this picture is so fun - but does not focus on the first sound of I and in insect. This can be confusing for children when first learning the read and write.

19.01.2022 Lime Therapy is closed today for the Victorian public holiday - we will reopen on Wednesday at 8:00am. We wish everyone a happy Tuesday, it’s a good day!!

19.01.2022 At Lime Legends we use the aspects of play to incorporate a child’s strengths and interests. There is a science around play which helps children to learn faster and they have fun whilst doing it so it’s a win win! #LimeLegends #LimeTherapy

19.01.2022 Oh Lucy the elf has been up to so much, Playing in the ball pit and such. Not only is it fun to jump in the pit, It’s also a great place to come and sit, for some sensory input and calm down a bit! ... #limetherapy #elfontheshelf #jump

19.01.2022 Need something for the kids to do during remote learning or the upcoming school holidays? Submit your art, letters, or fan mail to Lime Therapy and if you're lucky, one of our lovely Lime Legends Therapists might write you a letter or send you a sneaky surprise back by the old snail trail mail- be sure to include your address. Thanks to Taneshia who sent us in this great portrait of one of our OT's-Lilly. We think Teneshia could have an upcoming career in the arts, don't you!?

17.01.2022 Did you get a chance to see the Sunraysia Daily on Saturday!? Our Senior Physiotherapist- James discussed what we can do to ease working from home related injuries/conditions. It’s so important to look after yourself especially during these times. James mentioned some helpful tips which include regular breaks to move joints and muscles as well as help general circulation. Ensure your workstation is not aggravating pain by making sure it is set up appropriately. Also continu...e with home-based exercise routines. If you have any questions our Physiotherapists at Lime Therapy can assist you. If you are working from home it might also be beneficial to undergo an ergonomic workstation/desk assessment to determine the risk factors within your environment, this can be done by one of our helpful Occupational Therapist.

12.01.2022 HOMEWORK HELPERS! Give your child the boost they need to go back to school! Are you worried your child has not progressed as much as you would have liked this year with their education and social skills? Do you need support with remote learning? Do you feel your child needs a boost with their schooling? This has been a funny old year so far, leaving a lot of us trying to juggle this new world; working from home, remote learning, and our everyday life chores in new ways. We ...know how difficult home schooling can be, with many families struggling with keeping their child’s attention in the home environment as well trying to work while also teaching your children and supporting them with their learning. We know it is not uncommon to be trying to teach a 6 year old to read, while explaining to a 10 year old how to write a story, while keeping an eye on the 2 year old whose running up and down the hallway! We recognise and are in AWE of all the parents out there, always adapting and absolutely crushing it! If you feel that your child would benefit from some one on one support to boost their skills needed for school, our expert Speech Pathologists offer sessions to school aged children (Kinder and above) to prepare and assist in acquiring a variety of skills necessary for school and onwards. These include; -Literacy Skills Learning to read and write, from their ABC’s to spelling, to scripting narrative to essay writing. -Comprehension The ability to appropriately follow complex instructions, understand stories, respond to questions, and the ability to understand concepts all are crucial for your child to learn in the classroom, and engage in conversations with friends! -Expression Use of appropriate grammar skills, developing narrative and story telling abilities, being able to ask for help when needed, identifying and expressing their wants, needs, and feelings. -Play and Social Skills The isolation from peers has had a severe impact on everyone, particularly our little ones. Children are missing social interactions during these crucial ages which may impact on their ability to develop these skills. At Lime, we love to help children master their cognitive thinking and social skills. This can include developing strategies for conflict resolution, problem solving, initiating and maintaining friendships, learning to play with others, imaginative play, appropriate social rules, how to initiate and continue a conversation with others, how to be a good friend and so much more! This opportunity to kick goals, boosting the skills needed for school is open to ALL. If you would like to book your child, or learn more information, please call our clinic on (03) 5022 0955 or email our admin team [email protected] #LimeTherapy

We cannot thank the community enough for your endless support and love. We are in this together and always will be. #LimeTherapyTeam

04.01.2022 Occupational Therapy (OT) week 2020 - We are beyond proud of our Occupational Therapists at Lime Therapy. Occupational Therapy Australia said the below and it couldn’t be more accurate - Given the recent onset of droughts, bushfires, and the global pandemic, in 2020 our OT Week theme is: Resilience: Supporting our communities to rebuild, recover, and reengage. This year the event not only shines a spotlight on the value of occupational therapy in our communities, but also se...rves as a call to arms to support those hardest hit. In supporting people to participate in activities they find meaningful, 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. #OccupationalTherapyAustralia Occupational Therapists inspire, amaze and motivate us everyday - we appreciate you, thank you!

Here he has worked as an Occupational Therapist in the community setting, developing skills in a traditional OT setting.
