24.01.2022 You may have heard that play is an important aspect of childhood. However, did you know that play is a tool that greatly influences a child’s life and how they make sense of the world? A child’s goals during childhood are focused around growing, learning and playing. It is through a child’s participation in play that they learn to make sense of the world around them. It is their job during these critical stages of life to develop physical coordination, emotional maturity and social skills to interact with other children. They also learn to develop self-confidence, try new experiences and explore new environments. See The Six Stage of Play: www.opt.net.au/six-stages-play/

10.01.2022 ROTATOR CUFF INJURY The rotator cuff is a group of 4 tendons (attached to 4 muscles) that supports the shoulder joint. Imagine that the shoulder joint is a ball on a tee, except the tee moves up and down with the ball too. Together, the rotator cuff provide stability to ensure the ball does not fall off the tee when you move your shoulder up and down. Most of the time, the rotator cuff is injured through overuse from repetitive stress and micro-trauma like a worn-out rope. Th...is either causes the tendons to tear or cause a partial injury which makes them more vulnerable to tears In other times, it could be from a severe traumatic injury such as falling on an outstretched arm, sudden force when pushing or pulling or a shoulder dislocation. In most cases, they occur through either only overuse or overuse AND a traumatic mechanism. The tear can affect just one or multiple tendons and can be full or partial tears. Age-related changes, inflammatory or autoimmune health conditions, or smoking can also reduce the strength of the tendons which places you at a higher risk of having a rotator cuff tear.

04.01.2022 CHILDREN WITH LANGUAGE DIFFICULTIES AND THEIR PEERS. When listening to spoken sentences, children must immediately make sense of sounds that disappear as soon as they are spoken. Typically developing children rely primarily on complex working memory* for sentence comprehension and can easily and automatically ‘chunk’ information for fast processing (*the complex working memory is fed into by relationships with pattern recognition, controlled attention, and long-term memory la...nguage knowledge). However, children with Language Difficulties have a poorer complex working memory, making sentence understanding into an effortful process. They have greater difficulties with pattern recognition abilities as well as long-term memory language knowledge. This directs them to rely on a word-by-word comprehension strategy, which does little good.

01.01.2022 VISUAL COMMUNICATION: WHY PICTURES? Making sense of visual information is an entirely different process in the brain, and a skill that we begin refining from the moment we are born. Just think about how much information you can understand from a TV show even after someone has pressed ‘mute’. The same goes for photos, drawings, symbols and signs that we see and interpret hundreds of times a day before we even realising we are doing it. READ THE REST: www.opt.net.au/the-power-of-pictures/
