At Therapy Hive, we believe the right connection can make all the difference. That’s why we take the time to carefully match each child and family with a therapist or therapy assistant who suits their needs, personality, and environment.

Our personalised matching process considers:

- Your child’s goals, interests, and learning style
- The settings that matter most — home, school, kindy, or community
- The strengths, skills, and values of our team

Because support works best when it feels safe, connected and nurturing.

Relationships are at the heart of everything we do — trust, consistency and connection come first.

When the match is right, children feel seen, supported, and confident to grow.

Meet Ruby Graham, one of our dedicated Therapy Assistants here at Therapy Hive.

Since joining us at the end of 2023, Ruby has been working closely with early years clients, helping them achieve their developmental goals in the environments where they learn and grow best — from early learning to transitioning into school environments.

She collaborates with educators, families, and therapists to support and implement early intervention to build on each child’s goals, strengths and interests.

What Ruby loves most about her role? "Supporting children to thrive and engage in their love of learning and life."

Whether it’s through play, communication, or celebrating small wins, Ruby brings energy, warmth and purpose to every session.

We’re so lucky to have her on the team !

Ruby has also played a vital role in our son’s development within the Early Learning Centre. Her enthusiasm, warmth, and genuine care have helped him feel safe, supported, and excited to learn. He lights up when he sees her, he always greets her with a big hug, and it’s been wonderful to watch how much he’s grown during his time with her. We love getting updates and photos of the activities from their sessions together. - Kristan

There’s something special about coming together as a team — to learn, reflect, and grow.

Last Thursday, our Therapy Hive team gathered for a professional development session led by the insightful and experienced Developmental Educator, Rebecca Bartolic from Inspire Abilities.

Rebecca brings deep knowledge from her time in specialist education and NDIS work, supporting children and young adults to thrive.

Together, we explored:
- What can trigger dysregulation
- Practical strategies to support emotional awareness and co-regulation
- Understanding pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA)
- Positive behaviour outcomes
- Skills and Tools to meet our clients individual needs

This session wasn’t just about learning new skills — it was about strengthening our shared values:

Collaboration
Understanding
Growth
Knowledge
Skills

We’re grateful for these moments to share knowledge, strengthen our practice, and leave with fresh energy to support the children and families we work alongside!

It’s completely natural to have questions about your child’s development — especially in the early years.

Whether it’s:
“Is this typical?”
“Should I be doing something now?”
“Will they grow out of this?”
…you’re not alone.

At Therapy Hive, we believe early support is about empowering children and the families who know and love them most.

Through play, connection, and tailored strategies, we help children build confidence, learn new skills, and feel a sense of belonging.

Every child is unique. Every question is valid. And no question is too small.

Worried about your little one’s development?

Maybe they don’t respond when you play, or don’t seem interested in engaging with you?

There are free, easy-to-use tools that can help you check in:

- ASDetect is a free, evidence-based app for parents and caregivers to assess social attention and communication behaviours in children aged 11 to 30 months. It’s easy to use and helps you check in on important early developmental milestones. Give it a try: https://asdetect.org

- Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ) is a developmental screening tool for children aged 1 month to 5½ years. It’s a free family-friendly and helps identify areas of strength as well as developmental concerns across a range of areas. Each questionnaire is tailored to your child’s age. We’re happy to support families to complete these and share results with your GP or local health services if needed.

Parents often ask about their child’s development and whether early support might help. Free tools like the ASQ can highlight strengths, flag concerns, and guide next steps.

Contact us for more information or would like support in accessing or completing either of these, feel free to get in touch with us at Therapy Hive!

Identifying developmental concerns early — and accessing the right supports — can make a significant difference in a child’s life.

Early intervention provides children and families with the best chance to:

✅ Maximise developmental outcomes

✅ Take advantage of the brain’s natural plasticity during the early years — a crucial window where change is most possible

✅ Shift the developmental trajectory in a positive direction

✅ Prevent or reduce secondary behaviours, such as frustration, withdrawal, or anxiety, which can develop when needs go unrecognised

Research shows that 20–30% of children may experience skill loss or regression between 12–24 months of age. (Dawson, 2008; Dawson et al., 2012) — highlighting the importance of regular monitoring and early action.

Getting the right help early — and in a way that fits your child’s world — can make a powerful impact on their development, wellbeing, and future.

At Therapy Hive, we’re here to help you understand your child’s development and guide you toward the right supports at the right time.

Why Early Intervention Matters?

Getting the right help early—at the right time and in the right way—can make a big difference to your child’s development, wellbeing, and future.

Early intervention offers children the best chance to grow, learn, and thrive. It’s not about rushing—it’s about recognising and supporting their unique needs when it matters most.

Don’t wait—early learning and support matter. The earlier we act, the better the outcomes.

Support that is timely, appropriate, and delivered in familiar, everyday settings lays the foundation for lifelong success.

What is AEPS-3?
AEPS-3 is a trusted tool we use at Therapy Hive to understand and support how young children are developing across all key areas of learning and growth.

Each area is broken down into smaller skill steps, giving us a clear picture of where your child is at—and what the next steps should be.
Parents receive a comprehensive, easy-to-follow support plan with everyday goals that fit naturally into home routines and play. It can be shared with educators, family members, and others involved in your child’s care—so everyone is working together.
Whether your child has a diagnosis, is at risk for delays, or simply needs extra support, AEPS-3 helps us provide the right help at the right time.

Early Intervention is about supporting babies, toddlers, and preschoolers during the years when their brains are growing and changing the most.⁣
⁣
This is a powerful window for learning.⁣
⁣
Early support takes advantage of this critical time to help children who may be at risk of developmental delays or have a disability, giving them the best chance to thrive.⁣
⁣
Don’t wait to get help for your child.⁣
⁣
I often meet parents who say they want to “wait and see.” But this can be a mistake.⁣
⁣
The early years are a crucial window of rapid brain development—a time when children are learning faster than at any other stage of life.⁣
⁣
If you wait, you may miss this powerful opportunity to support your child’s growth.⁣
⁣
If you have concerns, even small ones, it’s always worth seeking support early.⁣
⁣
Early help can make a big difference in your child’s communication, behaviour, learning, and relationships.⁣
⁣
Don’t wait. Early intervention works best when it’s early!

So True. With the right support all children are so capable.

“All children can learn and achieve when they are provided with high-quality supports to match their needs.” (Quote taken from Multi-Tiered Systems of Support for Young Children. Explore the book: https://ecs.page.link/SdLfJ)
