24.01.2022 Love this quote from @natureplaysa . It has been a really busy term at PolkadOT OT. We hope you all enjoy the slower speed of the holidays and hopefully the weather will allow some tree climbing, getting dirty and lots of outdoor play. More posts on the benefits of outdoor play for children to come.

22.01.2022 Playground activities and climbing are so good to help develop your childs core strength and postural control! It will give them a strong foundation to participate in their daily activities efficiently.

22.01.2022 Which is the light blue dot? There are so many learning opportunities when we are with our children.

21.01.2022 We hope everyone is enjoying the school holidays! We are busy behind the scenes getting everything ready to open next week!

19.01.2022 Love this quote. It is why our therapy sessions can look like so much fun!

19.01.2022 We are so excited to be opening in a couple of weeks! We cant wait to welcome all of the gorgeous children and their families to our new paediatric occupational therapy service - PolkadOT OT!

18.01.2022 A wonderful article and a short video which is well worth watching about the importance of movement in children. It is why we do what we do in our sessions at PolkdadOT OT. We cant wait until the weather improves and we can be back out in our beautiful garden doing some outdoor obstacle courses with our wonderful clients!

14.01.2022 Happy New Year from PolkadOT OT! We hope you have all had a Merry Christmas and some wonderful family time together! We are opening again on Monday 7th of January and cant wait to welcome all of our clients back for a fun filled and productive 2019! #paediatricoccupationaltherapist #occupationaltherapy #autism

13.01.2022 We are excited to be opening our doors to some of our first little clients at Polkadot Occupational Therapy today. It may be a bit wet outside today but we will be having lots of fun inside! If you would like to have a chat with us about your child, please give us a call or you can contact us via our website: www.polkadotot.com.au

11.01.2022 Love this description!

07.01.2022 There are so many benefits to working on a vertical surface. It helps strengthen your childs core, shoulder and arm muscles, helps with coordination, bilateral integration, dexterity, grasp and writing development and you can also work on crossing the midline. Just remind your child you need to stick a big piece of paper on the wall before they start drawing!

07.01.2022 Our vestibular sense is one of the lesser known senses. We actually have 7 senses (not just the more commonly known 5 senses). Our vestibular sense tells us if we are in motion, in what direction and how fast, if we are upright and therefore helps with our balance and coordination. Swinging and spinning are important activities to stimulate our vestibular sense. As children spend more time indoors on electronic devices, this sense is often affected. So these holidays, lets get our children outside and in playgrounds, spinning and swinging!

05.01.2022 Does your child hold their pencil like this? Wrapping their thumb inhibits the small movements of the fingers and can affect writing fluency, control and endurance. If you have any concerns about your childs pencil grip or handwriting, we would love to help.

05.01.2022 Children are spending more and more time on iPads and electronic games. This is affecting the development of fine motor skills and hand strength in children. These skills are needed for so many daily activities including handwriting. If you have concerns about your childs fine motor skills, contact us at PolkadOT occupational therapy for a chat.

04.01.2022 A beautiful, calming activity for children.

04.01.2022 Wishing all of the children a wonderful first day back at school and kindy tomorrow!

03.01.2022 Wishing all our amazing families a very happy Christmas! Thank you for your support this year, and looking forward to a fun, busy and productive year in 2020. Enjoy the break! X
