24.01.2022 As of midnight tonight it is compulsory to wear masks in public places in many parts of Victoria. Wearing masks can be difficult for many people, and can lead to anxiety and panic attacks. In particular children can have difficulty understanding the reasoning behind why we need to wear them. Check out this fabulous social story that helps children understand the importance of wearing a mask https://paautism.org/resource/wearing-mask-social-story/

23.01.2022 Blindfolded food exploration and tasting- a fun activity to help children learn about foods and promote the trying of new foods with fussy eaters! OT also had to be blindfolded!

17.01.2022 Activity analysis- breaking down a task into steps. We have created a book for our client with the steps involved for making their lunch. Our client found it easier to follow picture prompts than verbal instructions. Result = greater independence

17.01.2022 Todays inspiration

17.01.2022 Yummy meals made by some of our clients last week. Cooking a meal involves cognitive challenges such as decision making, planning, money management, problem solving, risk assessing and sequencing. A valuable daily living skill

10.01.2022 This week we have been focusing on effective teeth brushing- a very important activity of daily living, with our younger clients. Using a uv light to show up areas which havent been brushed is a fun way to show kids where they need to brush!

09.01.2022 Interesting find in Kmart- big button remote for $9. Great for those with visual or cognitive difficulties. Could be easily adapted to simplify use too!

09.01.2022 Proud to be supporting our local community. Raising awareness and increasing safety for our local children

08.01.2022 Today we attended the Melbourne seniors and disability exbo where we met lots of brilliant suppliers and service providers. An excellent display of local companies offering services from high level equipment to hair cuts!

08.01.2022 We have made some additions to a clients commode to make it more comfortable and to provide protection for delicate skin. Now our client can sit comfortably for self-care tasks and not worry about pressure injuries or discomfort. Client is delighted with their new equipment. (ETAC commode)

02.01.2022 Our clients cant go to the shops for therapy items, so we make the shop come to them!

01.01.2022 Today we compared foldable, portable hoists for a client to find the most suitable one to meet their needs. It is important to research equipment as there is such a vast amount of different items on th market which can be confusing!
