⚖️ Balance in Action ⚖️
Obstacle courses are a fun and engaging way to build a range of skills through movement 💙
As children navigate different challenges, they practise balance, coordination, body awareness, motor planning, and problem-solving, while learning to adapt their movements and persist when things get tricky 🤸🌈

Every step, jump, and wobble is an opportunity to build confidence, resilience, and new skills through play! 🌟

🎓✨ Sensory Processing Training in Schools ✨🎓

Another wonderful sensory processing training! We loved collaborating at a local junior school, focusing on the foundations of how sensory processing supports regulation and classroom engagement 🧠📚

We explored how children's sensory needs can impact attention, participation, and learning — and shared practical strategies to support students in everyday classroom environments ✏️

Trainings like these are an ongoing passion for our team 💙 They form part of our broader community programmes, where we collaborate with educators to build knowledge, confidence, and supportive environments for all learners.

If your school or service is interested in training or collaboration, we'd love to connect!

👀✨ In-Service Learning: OT x Behavioural Optometry ✨👀

Our team recently took part in a valuable training session with Leichhardt Eyecare Behavioural Optometrists, exploring the intersection between occupational therapy and visual skills 🧠

We unpacked how areas such as visual perception, eye teaming, tracking, and visual processing impact everyday tasks — from reading and writing to attention and participation in the classroom 📚✏️

Collaborating across disciplines helps us better understand the whole child and provide more targeted, meaningful support 💙

A big thank you to the team at Leichhardt Eyecare for sharing their knowledge! Leichhardt Eyecare
