19.05.2022 Welcome back to Skill Set OT for 2022! We are looking forward to seeing you all again. With the current Covid climate and changes in Government legislation, we have devised our new Covid Safe Plan and Procedures. Please have a read and we will keep you updated of any changes and developments. We hope you are all staying safe and healthy.

29.04.2022 Our incredible OT, Taylah, works tirelessly to ensure her clients are working towards meeting their goals so they are able to participate in all contexts. Taylah's favourite OT quote is: Life takes on meaning in the minute-by-minute reality in which we experience ourselves achieving ordinary things. Gary Kielhofner, DrPH, OTR, FAOTA

15.04.2022 Caitlynn and Bella are 2 of our fantastic OT's. They are besties at work and love to collaborate and share their skills with one another. Both Bella and Caitlynn ensure they keep each other accountable so they are including families in their practice and promoting independence for all. Their favourite OT quote is: "Alone we can do so little, but together we can do so much." Helen Keller, Disability Rights Advocate/Political Activist

05.04.2022 Our director, Megan, guides our practice to provide an amazing service to families that embodies the Theme of OT Week (Inclusion, Independence and Participation). Megan believes that as adults, we take independence for granted. She loves that her job gives children the skills to tie their own shoelaces, use the toilet by themselves, tackle problems and deal with social dilemma’s without needing to ask an adult for help. As paediatric OT’s, we have the opportunity to build the... small stepping stones little people need in order to become independent adults. Is there a greater privilege than that? Megan's favourite OT quote is: "Occupational Therapy is more than a job. For many it is a calling. We felt drawn to it." Amy Lamb, OTD, OT/L, FAOTA

16.03.2022 Our amazing OT, Eden, loves working with families to support inclusion across all contexts. Eden's favourite OT quote is: "Occupational therapy practitioners ask, "what matters to you?" Not, "what's the matter with you?"" Virginia Stoffel AOTA president ... #THISISOT

28.02.2022 Happy OT Week We appreciate and thank all of our fellow OT's who work everyday to support independence, inclusion and participation.

24.01.2022 Thinking of all of our little ones starting school for the first time or going back to school today. We hope you have a wonderful day! Also thinking of our parents at this emotional time.Thinking of all of our little ones starting school for the first time or going back to school today. We hope you have a wonderful day! Also thinking of our parents at this emotional time.

24.01.2022 This is one of the main reasons we are switching over to Telehealth. We want to keep all of our Skill Set families as safe as we can throughout this ordeal. If you are already a Skill Set client, please be sure to check your emails regularly as we are providing frequent updates and important information about moving forward.

22.01.2022 Happy International Women’s Day to all of the strong and amazing women in our lives! Thank-you for paving the way for past, present, and future generations.

21.01.2022 Some beautiful and safe sensory play ideas we can all make at home.

21.01.2022 And just like that, 2019 is finished for Skill Set OT and all of our lovely clients. It has been a magical year with ongoing growth and development for everyone. Thank-you to all of our very talented little artists (and their parents and siblings) who decorated our gorgeous tree over the last few weeks. We can’t wait to start 2020 with you all again! Merry Christmas from our Skill Set Family to yours!

19.01.2022 We are working closely with Look Who’s Talking to do our part in reducing the spread of Corona Virus. Sadly, we have had to retire our theraputty for the foreseeable future but the rest of our games and activities will be disinfected after every session to keep us all safe and free of germs. We hope all of our families are taking care during this time.

18.01.2022 Although we are taking the time to remember that this is a really challenging time for our little ones, we need to remember that parents are struggling too. This one is for all of the amazing and incredible parents we get to see everyday who are doing everything they can for their children. Sending you all some love today!

16.01.2022 We have our tree up in the office ready for our talented little artists to colour, cut and create some ornaments and decorations.

10.01.2022 My favourite quotes from doing Telehealth so far: 1) Pick up Miss Megan and bring her into the lounge room. 2) Stop turning Miss Megan upside down and carrying her around. 3) Oh no Miss Megan- I just kicked you in the face and now I think you are broken.... Gotta love screen communication!

08.01.2022 This is a great story for our little ones who are just as confused and shocked about recent developments as the rest of us. Take some time to explain what is happening to your kids in a way that they can understand.

07.01.2022 A great way to develop motor planning and a whole bunch of other gross motor skills is to learn a dance! This is one that the whole family can enjoy! I am in love with it. https://youtu.be/0_WbqkrD89s

06.01.2022 We will be making sure we iron out all of the kinks at Skill Set OT to make sure the transition to Telehealth is as seamless as possible!

04.01.2022 A nice little social script about returning to school.

04.01.2022 This is a good reminder for all of our parents over the holidays. You are doing an amazing job!
