🖼️ Choosing the Right Visuals for Every Child

At Little Birds, we know that visuals are more than just pictures, they’re tools that help children communicate, learn, and feel confident.

From Boardmaker symbols to LessonPix custom visuals, from familiar AAC system pictures to real-life photos, each type of visual has its own strengths and limitations. Some are great for routines, others for personalisation, and some make concepts instantly relatable.

The key? There’s no one-size-fits-all. Every child is unique, and the best visuals are the ones that fit how they understand, engage, and communicate. 💛

Swipe through our carousel to see the pros and cons of each visual type, and why choosing the right one matters.

Visuals are powerful.

We use visuals to tell stories that help children prepare for what’s coming, thereby reducing anxiety and building predictability.

We use them as checklists and schedules to support understanding, independence, and follow-through.

For many children, visuals aren’t just helpful, they’re a game changer.

They make expectations clear.
They support emotional regulation.

They reduce uncertainty and overwhelm.

When language feels hard, visuals step in and do the talking.

Last week, our leadership team hit pause on day-to-day operations to come together for an afternoon of learning, reflection, and connection. ✨️

We explored Human Design with Talia, a more intuitive approach to understanding ourselves and how we lead. It was a space to reflect on our personalities, learning styles, self-perception, and how we approach problem-solving.

The biggest takeaway? There’s no “right” or “wrong” way to lead — just different ways!
When we understand and respect these differences, they don’t create friction; they create balance. They help us complement each other’s strengths and build a stronger, more cohesive leadership team.
Grateful for the openness, curiosity, and connection we shared during this time. ❤️

Team Day ❤️

A day to pause, reflect, and reconnect, away from the clinic rooms and into conversation, laughter, learning, and shared values.

So grateful for this incredible team: the care you show our clients and families, the way you support one another, and the heart you bring to Little Birds every single day. Days like this remind us that what we do is about more than therapy, it’s about people.

Thank you for showing up, for growing with us, and for making this clinic what it is.

❤️ OT Appreciation Post ❤️

We recently gathered feedback from our Little Birds families, and the message was clear: our Occupational Therapists are doing something truly special.

Families spoke about feeling supported, understood, and empowered, and children feeling more confident, regulated, and capable in their everyday worlds.

To our OT team: your creativity, clinical thinking, and genuine care do not go unnoticed. Thank you for the magic you bring to our clinic and the lives you touch every day ✨️

✨ Christmas is just around the corner…
At Little Birds, we know this season can be magical and overwhelming. Between end-of-year events, school concerts, therapy reviews, and family expectations, it’s easy to forget about the most important thing:

💛 Being kind to yourself.

Whether you’re a parent, carer, clinician, or community member—please remember:
You don’t have to do it all.
You’re allowed to rest.
Small moments of joy still count.

From our Little Birds family to yours, we’re wishing you peace, connection, and gentleness as we head into the festive season. 🌟

🌿 From the Director of Little Birds Allied Health… something special is taking flight.
We’re so excited to introduce Clinic to Couch, a heartfelt podcast about raising children between cultures, and the emotional, cultural, and developmental questions that come with it.

💛 Hosted by three clinicians — Sarah (Speech Pathologist), Sharen (Psychologist), and May (Occupational Therapist) — we explore identity, bilingualism, early intervention, belonging, and the everyday realities of multicultural family life.

These are honest conversations for families, professionals, and anyone navigating what it means to grow up, parent, or practice across cultures.

✨ Real stories.
✨ Real clinical perspectives.
✨ Real family moments.

We can’t wait to share this journey with our Little Birds community. 🎧💛
