✨ Sensory Regulation – No Fancy Equipment Needed! ✨

Sensory regulation is an essential foundation for attention, emotional balance, behaviour and learning — and the best part? It can be supported using everyday items and real-life experiences.

NDIS won’t fund “sensory equipment” for home use — but effective sensory-motor development was never about expensive tools anyway. What children need most is purposeful movement, body awareness and safe connection.

🌿 Nature-Based Regulation
• Digging in sand or soil

Regulation doesn’t need to look like “therapy”. It looks like connection, movement and everyday life — supported intentionally, day by day.

At Day by Day Early Intervention, connection comes first.

When children feel safe, understood and connected, real growth begins. That’s why our sessions focus on building strong relationships, following your child’s lead, and supporting meaningful moments between you and your little one.

We don’t jump straight into formal assessments unless they’re clinically needed.
Instead, we take the time to get to know your child, how they play, communicate, explore, connect and feel. We learn from you, their family, and create goals together that fit naturally into your everyday routines.

Our approach is:
• Relationship-based
• Playful, warm and child-led
• Focused on joy, connection and emotional safety
• Embedded into real-life moments
• Respectful of your child’s individual differences and needs

Whether it’s building early communication, supporting emotional regulation, or strengthening family routines—we’re here to walk alongside you.

If you’re looking for support that feels nurturing, collaborative and truly personalised, we’d love to meet you.

Swimming builds strong bodies and confident kids!

Did you know swimming is one of the best full-body activities for developing core strength?

Every kick, paddle, and splash helps children:
💪 Strengthen their core and postural control
⚖️ Improve balance and coordination
🧠 Build body awareness and endurance
💗 Feel calm, confident, and capable in their movements

And you don’t need formal lessons to get the benefits! 💦
Time in the local pool, the ocean, or even backyard water play together helps little bodies grow strong while having fun and connecting as a family.

🏡 A Home Away From Home 🏡

When you walk into our clinic, we want it to feel like stepping into a cozy living room — not a medical space. Soft lighting, comfy couches, natural textures, and toys that feel like home.

Because therapy works best when children (and families!) feel safe, relaxed, and connected.

Our goal is simple: to make therapy feel natural, meaningful, and part of your family’s rhythm.

🌟 Sensory Motor Play = Learning Through Fun! 🌟

Did you know that activities like swinging, bouncing, or playing “people games” (think peekaboo, chasey, or row-row-row your boat) do more than just bring giggles?

These types of sensory motor play:
✨ Build attention and focus
✨ Support language development through repetition and shared joy
✨ Encourage turn-taking and connection (the foundations of communication!)
✨ Provide the movement and regulation kids need to feel calm, safe and ready to learn

Some of our favourites include:
🌀 Spinning on a chair or rough and tumble at bedtime
🤲 Playdough squishing, slime, or messy play
🪁 Swinging, sliding, or jumping on a trampoline
🎶 Dancing, clapping games, and action songs
🚗 Pushing and pulling heavy objects and helping with the laundry
💦 Water play such as scooping, pouring, splashing and doing the dishes
🌳 Outdoor play like rolling down hills, climbing, swinging from monkey bars, looking for pelicans at Port Adelaide!

💡 At Day by Day, we believe all play is valid. There’s no rush to move through “milestones” like pretend play because every child learns and grows in their own way. By following the child’s lead, we turn their unique interests into opportunities for connection, communication, and joy.

Hooray for playgrounds!

💪 Gross Motor Skills – climbing, sliding, and swinging build balance, strength, and coordination.
🖐️ Fine Motor Skills – holding ropes, grasping chains, and digging in sand all strengthen little hands.
🌞 Emotional Regulation – fresh air, open spaces, and movement help kids (and adults!) reset and recharge.

And the best part? It’s free, simple, and accessible. Making a weekly playground visit part of your family’s routine is an easy way to boost skills, connection, and wellbeing 💛
