Today at Tiny Tasters we made savoury muffins & nut-free bliss balls!

Social groups are very much about making friends and connecting, but our therapists are also teaching:

🌻Sensory and food exploration

🌻Expressive language (e.g., naming, requesting, commenting)

🌻Receptive language (e.g., following instructions)

🌻Social communication (e.g., turn-taking, sharing space)

🌻Behavioural flexibility and tolerance to changes in routine or presentation

🌻Building positive food associations and reducing stress around mealtimes

This group is a holiday special and always books up! Today was facilitated by our Lead Speech Language Pathologist, and Allied Health Assistant. We’ll run this again in the Summer holidays!

What do I love about Safer Spaces playgroup?

✅We run for 90 minutes, with no rigid routine. So if you’re running late, or take a while to warm up, that’s completely accommodated for.

✅Parents — running on fumes? Been up since dawn? We’ve got you covered with our pod coffee machine.

✅You’re going away, or you’re sick? We offer casual attendance, no locking in for the term. We offer a discount for a 5 pass, but these are flexible with no expiry. Melton group is completely free of charge.

✅All your other activities pause for the school holidays? We run right through [except for most of the Summer holidays] and siblings are welcome.

We’d love you to join us!

At Safer Spaces our sessions are Neurodiversity affirming, child-centred & child-led. What’s this look like?

🌻We ask about the child’s interests before their struggles. Their strengths. How can we do more of that?

🌻We don’t just sit at a table: We’ll be with you on the floor, under the table, or in the backyard!

🌻Play isn’t a reward for the therapy. It’s intertwined in the therapy!

🌻Sensory needs are respected, not
“fixed”. Let’s work with these. Let’s help the school understand these.

🌻Progress isn’t a tick box or just a scale. It may be small steps. It looks different for everyone. It may be something seemingly small like someone at school inviting you to a birthday party, after slowly growing in your confidence & connecting with others around a shared strength or interest you’ve recognised.

🌻We talk about the environment & how this affects the child. We’re working with the environment, the school, the other therapists, not in a silo.
