OT Week starts today, and this year's theme is Participation Matters.

For our occupational therapists that is the everyday job: helping people take part in the things that make up a life, at home, at school and in the community.

Happy OT Week to our OT team, and to every OT out there. World OT Day is Tuesday 27 October.

12 speechies walk into an escape room…

"I'm fairly certain a few of us would still be serving life in that room if it weren't for the mastermind team members who cracked the codes for the rest of us." Stacey, speaking for the team.

Thank you to Cherry and Regine for organising it, and to everyone who could make it.

💛 DST is stepping up for Telethon! 👟

This weekend, team members from Down South Therapy's Rockingham and South West teams will be coming together in Busselton for the Steps of Hope Telethon Walk.

What we’re looking forward to most? Bringing our different teams together — along with our families — for a fun morning out, a few kilometres of walking, plenty of laughs and the chance to support an incredible cause. 💛

With team members joining from across WA, it’s a lovely opportunity to connect outside of our usual workplaces and celebrate the people who make up the DST community.

If you’d like to support our team and help us raise money for Telethon, you can sponsor Down South Therapy – Steps of Hope here:

We’ll see you in Busselton! 👟💛

One small change to try this week, from Kat, one of our OT Team Leaders.
Before saying "You need to focus", try asking: "What would help you engage?"
Instead of "Let's practise your spelling words", try "Let's use these smelly markers to practise spelling!" Or even: "Get ready for smelly spelling!"
In Kat's words: "It's not always about getting a child to try harder. Sometimes it's about changing the task so their brain has a reason to engage."
There is more like this in the ADHD Family Learning Series.
$55 a course until 9 October with code DST50OFF, usually $110. Buy course one, Understanding ADHD, in the welcome offer and you also get a complimentary 1:1 conversation with Kat.

Three questions parents ask Kat, one of our OT Team Leaders, about ADHD, more than any others:

1. What can I do if we don't want to start medication?
2. Why can they focus for hours on things they enjoy, but not on things they need to do?
3. How do I support my child without constantly nagging or reminding them?

She answers all three in the ADHD Family Learning Series. Understanding ADHD covers the first two, ADHD Building Blocks the third.

$55 a course until 9 October with code DST50OFF, usually $110. Buy course one, Understanding ADHD, in the welcome offer and you also get a complimentary 1:1 conversation with Kat.
