Disability Inclusion Profile processes ask a lot of school teams. Observation, evidence and reporting all take time and specialist knowledge.

Our clinicians can support that work. We observe students in the classroom, gather functional evidence and write clear reports that reflect what teachers see every day.

We don’t decide funding. Our role is to make sure the picture of the student is accurate, well-evidenced, and easy to read.

Curious how it works? Message us or call 03 5975 1500.

From Pen Plus, wishing you a hauntingly good Halloween! 🎃

Our hubs had a blast dressing up and celebrating creativity this Halloween — colourful costumes, big smiles, and plenty of spooky‑season joy filled every space. Halloween is such a fun opportunity for kids to express themselves, explore characters, and share in the excitement of imaginative play.

What we loved most was seeing confidence shine, friendships grow, and creativity take centre stage. Whether spooky, silly, or sweet, every costume told a story — and every child brought their own magic to the day.

Here’s to a Halloween full of laughter, connection, and community.

Our incredible OT team drives so much meaningful change at Pen Plus. Every day, they bring creativity, compassion, and clinical expertise to help people build confidence, strengthen skills, and participate in the moments that matter most. Their work is hands‑on, person‑centred, and deeply impactful, supporting independence, connection, and growth across all ages and abilities.

We’re so grateful for the dedication, energy, and heart they bring into our hubs. Here’s to our OTs: the quiet achievers, the problem‑solvers, the cheerleaders, and the champions of meaningful participation.

Good design for the students who struggle most usually helps everyone.

Universal Design for Learning is about removing barriers before they appear, rather than adjusting after a student falls behind.

Our UDL workshop gives teachers practical ideas for tomorrow’s lesson: how to present, how to engage and how to let students show what they know.

Bring it to your staff in 2027. Call 03 5975 1500.

✨Welcome to Michael✨

I’m an Irish Occupational Therapist with over seven years of experience supporting children and families across both hospital and community settings. I moved to Australia in early 2026 in pursuit of a new challenge and personal and professional growth.

What drew me to this profession was a genuine desire to help people reach their full potential and achieve goals that are meaningful to them. I am passionate about helping individuals overcome challenges, minimise barriers and discover creative pathways to success in their daily lives.

My experience includes Paediatrics Major Trauma, Orthopaedics, Oncology, Burns/Plastics, Hand therapy and community Neurodevelopmental services across early years (under 5’s), and Neurodisability across mainstream and specialist schools. I’ve also worked with the British Paralympic team, helping disabled athletes access and compete in track and field sports. I have a special interest in early childhood development, neurological and physical disabilities as well as supporting children following injury or trauma. Outside of work, I enjoy staying active through CrossFit, HYROX and running.

What neuroaffirming behaviour support means
Neuroaffirming behaviour support starts from a different question. Not "how do we change this person?" but "what does this person need that they're currently not getting?"
It means seeing stimming, meltdowns and shutdowns as valid responses, not target behaviours. It means building regulation and communication, not compliance. It means the whole plan is built with the person, not done to them.
That's the Pen Plus Way.

When something feels different about a child’s development, families and educators often ask the same question: what next?

Our screening days offer early identification and clearer next steps. With family consent, our team looks at areas such as communication, fine motor and regulation, and helps you know where to go from there.

Screening is not a diagnosis. It is a starting point.

Ask us about a screening day for 2027.

Halloween sensory play is the perfect mix of spooky, squishy, colourful exploration — helping kids regulate, engage, and express themselves through hands‑on experiences. Sensory activities build confidence, support fine motor skills, and create opportunities for imaginative play, all while keeping things festive and fun.

Some favourite Halloween sensory ideas include:
🎃 Pumpkin scooping — exploring textures, seeds, and gooey insides while building hand strength.
🕸️ Spider web rescue — stretchy cotton webs with hidden spiders to pull out, great for bilateral coordination.
🧪 Potion‑making — coloured water, glitter, scoops, and jars for mixing magical “brews” that support language and pretend play.
👻 Ghost slime — white slime with googly eyes for squishing, stretching, and calming sensory input.
🍬 Treat‑themed sensory bins — rice, lentils, or pasta dyed in Halloween colours with scoops, cups, and themed trinkets to find and sort.

These activities aren’t just fun — they help kids regulate, explore safely, and participate meaningfully in seasonal traditions. Sensory play gives every child a way to join in, their way.

What does a School Partnership day look like?

A clinician joins your school on a regular day, weekly or fortnightly. Depending on your priorities, it might include classroom observation, screening, coaching for EAs, strategies for teachers and evidence for DIP processes.

The aim is not more recommendations. It is confident staff and inclusive classrooms that keep working when we are not there.

Occupational therapy and speech pathology days are available now. Ask us about psychology and counselling days.
