Meet the therapy team at Leichhardt 💛

Sarah, Meabh, Allison, Brid, Sharon, and Joanna!

When families are choosing a provider, they usually ask about qualifications and availability. Fair questions. But the one that matters most is harder to ask: will my child actually want to go?

That comes down to the people. These team are who you'll see at Leichhardt week to week, and who'll know your child's favourite game before the first session is over.

Follow along, more team faces are coming!

Exercises for W sitting 🦵

If your child tends to sit in a W, these three are a good place to start. All of them build the strength that makes other sitting positions easier to hold.

🦵 Half kneel play — one knee up, one knee down. Works well at a low table or box.
🪑 V sits — legs out in front in a V shape. The core does the work here.
⬇️ Squats — packing toys away from a squat rather than sitting down.

Easy to build into play at home, and no equipment needed.

If you've got questions about your child's sitting or movement, our physios are happy to have a chat. 💛

Sometimes the win isn't the skill. 💛

Last week two girls of the same age landed in a session together for the first time. Similar ages, similar interests. And that was it, they talked non-stop and bounced around the gym for the entire session.

Nobody planned that part. You can plan the goals, the equipment and the activity, but you can't plan two kids clicking.

It's one of the reasons we love running things in pairs and groups. A therapist can teach a skill. Another kid your own age gives you a reason to want it.

🗣️ It's Speech Pathology Week!

Meet some of our speech pathologists!

They're the people helping kids find their words, whether that's through speech, sign, a picture card or a communication device. Understanding what's being said. Building sentences. Reading and spelling. Ordering their own babycino.

Communication is so much bigger than talking, and this week is a good excuse to say thank you to the people who make it happen.

To our speechies, we're lucky to have you 💛

Why we build obstacle courses 🙌

To a kid, this is just a very good time. Climb the thing, jump off the thing, wobble across the plank, do it again. 🏃‍♀️

But look at what their body is quietly sorting out along the way:

🧠 Motor planning: figuring out how to get over something they haven't seen before. That's the brain and body having a quick meeting before anything moves.

💪 Strength: stepping up and lowering down under control. Way harder than it looks, and it's the same control they need for stairs, playgrounds and getting off the couch without landing on their face.

⚖️ Balance: staying steady on a narrow beam. Tiny adjustments, constantly, without thinking about them.

🔢 Sequencing: holding the whole course in their head while their body is busy doing it. First this, then that, then the wobbly bit.

Four skills. One activity. Zero children who realise they're working. 😄

That's the whole trick, really. Fun keeps them going, and going is where the progress lives. 💛

📚 Book Week is coming, and we're joining in!

On 27th–28th August, our team will be dressing up as their favourite book characters, and we'd love your child to do the same.

📍 Thursday 27th - Riverina
📍 Friday 28th - Leichhardt & Lilyfield

Come to your session as anyone you like. Homemade costumes absolutely welcome, and honestly the best ones usually are. 🐛✨

No pressure at all if dressing up isn't your child's thing. Sessions run exactly as normal either way.

See you there! 💛

Therapist voice vs. real voice 😅

One of these gets used in sessions. The other gets used when the block tower falls over for the fourth time.

Both are professional. Only one is calm.

"So which one am I?" 💛

If you've been handed an NDIS plan and you're not sure what happens next, you're in good company. It's one of the first questions families ask us.

We're a registered NDIS provider, which means we can work with all three.

If you're not sure which you're on, or where to start, give us a call and we'll talk it through. 💛
