Today was just one of those days to make us smile…

From treasure hunting in the park and following clues🌳 🗺️

A client reporting they could attend an appointment independently because they had their new assistant dog with them 🐕

Huge achievements to celebrate 🎉

🚂 We’re loving Train of Thought!

This warm, engaging picture book by Jess Horn (with gorgeous illustrations by Hayley Wells) has quickly become a favourite in our speech pathology sessions.

Andy has a big imagination — his mum calls it his “train of thought” — but sometimes that train doesn’t stop when real-life tasks pop up! 😅

It’s a fun, relatable way to explore attention, self-regulation, flexible thinking and loads of language skills with young children. Perfect for busy minds and brilliant imaginations. 📚💛

✨ Why we love using this book in speech pathology:

• Supports attention & self-regulation: Andy’s experiences open up gentle conversations about focus, emotional regulation, and what to do when our “train” goes off track.
• Builds language skills: Rich illustrations provide amazing opportunities for vocabulary building, sentence expansion, describing, predicting, and comparing.
• Encourages problem-solving: Andy’s creative solutions help children explore flexible thinking — a skill that comes up often in therapy.
• Celebrates imagination: Perfect for kids who think in pictures and love to storytell, helping them feel seen and understood.

A gorgeous story for children aged 3–6 — and a fantastic resource for families and therapists who work with busy minds and brilliant imaginations. 💛📚
