School readiness is more than knowing letters and numbers. 🎒

Opening a lunchbox, asking for help, following instructions and joining in play are all part of everyday school life.

Children bring different strengths to these activities, and their skills continue to develop over time.

If your child is starting school in 2027, our free Starting School Parent Check-In can help you reflect on their communication, movement, independence and everyday routines.

There are no right or wrong answers. It’s simply a helpful place to start.

This check-in is a general guide only. It is not an assessment or diagnosis and cannot confirm or rule out whether a child may benefit from support.

Sometimes you don’t have a major concern—you’d just like a little more information before your child starts school. 🎒

ATUNE Kids is offering discounted school-readiness screeners with our Occupational Therapy and Speech Pathology teams.

Each screener is $99 and includes:
• A 30-minute individual screening session
• A brief written summary and recommendations

Depending on the screener, we may look at communication, speech clarity, pencil and scissor skills, coordination and other skills used in everyday school activities.

A screener provides a brief snapshot of selected skills. It is not a comprehensive assessment or diagnosis, but can help families decide whether further advice, monitoring or assessment may be useful.

Start with our free Parent Check-In. At the end, you can choose to receive more information about the screeners.

The best OT tools? You've probably already got them.

You don't need fancy equipment to work on your child's skills at home. Half of it is sitting in your kitchen and laundry. Here are a few everyday things and the skills they help build. Save this one for a rainy day.

A child's vocabulary grows through thousands of everyday conversations, shared books, play experiences and meaningful interactions. Every new word they learn helps them communicate, understand others, and build the skills they need for reading and learning.

If you're wondering whether your child's language development is on track, our speech pathologists can assess their communication skills and provide practical, family-centred strategies to support them at home and in everyday life. Please visit our website to complete an online referral or call us to discuss further.

Learning to read starts long before children pick up a book.

Phonological awareness is the ability to hear and play with the sounds in spoken words. These early listening skills form an important foundation for reading, spelling and literacy success.

The good news? Many phonological awareness skills can be developed through simple, playful activities like reading rhyming books, singing songs, clapping syllables and playing sound games together.

If you're concerned about your child's early literacy skills or reading development, our speech pathologists can help identify whether they would benefit from additional support and provide evidence-based intervention tailored to their needs. Please visit our website to complete an online referral or call us to discuss further.

Communication creates possibility… to thrive. 💜

As Speech Pathology Week comes to an end, this one captures beautifully why communication matters.

It helps us connect, learn, grow, belong, choose and participate.

And together, all of those things contribute to something much bigger — a child being able to live, learn and engage with the world in a way that works for them.

This week we’re especially celebrating our wonderful Speech Pathologists and the work they do alongside children and families every day.

Here’s to helping kids communicate, participate and thrive. ✨

As we wrap up Speech Pathology Week 2026, we’re excited to introduce Hugh — joining ATUNE Kids as an Allied Health Assistant and soon-to-be Speech Pathologist! 💛

Hugh is currently completing the final year of his Master of Speech Pathology, bringing with him a rich background as a former paramedic and a strong passion for helping people express themselves, connect with others, and achieve meaningful goals alongside their families.

As a husband and dad himself, Hugh brings a warm, family-centred approach to his work, along with valuable experience in healthcare, leadership, and supporting children and families.

We’re so excited to welcome him to the ATUNE Kids team during Speech Pathology Week 2026 — and to celebrate the next step in his journey as he moves from AHA to future Speechy! 🎉
