Statement from Unique By Nature Allied Health Services

As an organisation working closely with neurodivergent children, young people, and families, we are deeply concerned about the direction of the 'Thriving Kids' program and the potential harm it may cause if implemented without proper safeguards.

Removing or reducing access to NDIS supports without ensuring access to genuinely neurodivergent-affirming, trauma-informed, and evidence-based therapies places children and families at risk. When appropriate supports are not provided, the impacts extend beyond the individual, affecting families, education systems, mental health services, and the wider community.

At Unique By Nature Allied Health Services, we strongly uphold the principle of “Nothing About Us Without Us.” Any new programs must be co-designed with neurodivergent people, families, and affirming professionals to ensure that reforms are both safe and effective. Without this community-led approach, there is a real danger of reverting to deficit-based models that pathologise difference rather than celebrating and supporting it.

The risk is too great to proceed without full and meaningful community involvement. Neurodivergent children deserve services that recognise their strengths, respect their lived experiences, and empower them to thrive authentically.

We call on government decision-makers to ensure that reforms are inclusive, transparent, and led in partnership with the communities they aim to serve.

🧼🍒🎨 This Week in Life Skills Group ✨

We’ve got a fun, creative, and supportive week ahead – filled with sensory play, cooking, and emotional learning!

🍒 Cherry Puff Pastry Pies – In the kitchen, we’re keeping things simple and sweet with mini cherry pies made from puff pastry. A fun way to practise kitchen safety, teamwork, and following a recipe.

🛍️ Tote Bag Painting – Each participant will design and paint their own reusable tote bag, encouraging self-expression, creativity, and fine motor skills.

🧠 Emotion Regulation Worksheet – We’ll also take some time to work through an emotion regulation worksheet, helping clients build awareness around their feelings and develop strategies to manage them in healthy ways.

Looking forward to another week of learning, creativity, and connection 💛

🍰🎨 This Week in Life Skills Group 💛

It was a smaller group this week, but still full of creativity, reflection, and fun!

☕️ We kicked things off by making cake in a cup! Our participant followed the recipe really well with minimal support. Although not hungry at the time, they took their cake home to enjoy later. 🍫

🧠 We then explored some anger management strategies, chatting about what helps when big feelings come up. They completed a worksheet with a little support – a great step toward building emotional awareness and self-regulation.

🎨 To wrap up, we had a relaxed craft session. They finished decorating their wooden letter, made a sweet card, and even created jewellery for their siblings. So thoughtful and creative!

We’re looking forward to being back together as a full group soon 💐

🔥🍰 This Week in Life Skills Group 🧠🎨

We’re diving into big feelings, tasty treats, and a bit of free-choice creativity!

🧠 First up, we’ll be chatting all about anger – what triggers it, what helps, and the do’s and don’ts of handling it. Clients will work through some reflective worksheets to better understand their emotions and build healthy coping skills.

🍫 Then it’s time for Mug Cakes! Everyone will get the chance to mix and microwave their own sweet treat – quick, fun, and delicious (and yes, we’ll try to avoid another flour incident 😅).

🎨 To finish, we’re leaving the last part of the session up to the clients' choice! Whether it’s colouring, painting, LEGO, or just relaxing with some crafts – they get to decide how they’d like to wind down.

It’s all about understanding emotions, building independence, and having fun while we’re at it 💛
