Children's Therapy Services Queensland

Children's Therapy Services Queensland The mission of Inspiring Choices 4 Kids Therapy is to empower our clients, their parents and their caregivers to lead the life they want to live.

We provide an Integrative approach based on function (developmental, neurological) to support families of children with autism, ADHD developmental delays, neurological and cognitive challenges. With understanding in brain development and organisation, using the science of developmental and functional neurology, sensory processing, movement, cognition and learning, social brain awareness, and nutritional medicine, everyone can achieve optimal function and break the barriers of their conditions. Our goal is for children to feel safe, to learn to regulate their emotions, develop happier and more joyful relationships with their parents and in school, to thrive in their learning, and enjoy improved health. We value and respect the rights, responsibilities and aspirations of people with a disability while promoting maximum inclusion and participation. We believe the best results are achieved when parents are involved in their child’s therapeutic process, working as an integral part of our integrative team of professionals. We offer a space of safety, patience, tolerance and acceptance, where you and your family can feel supported and understood. We will help you to communicate your concerns, understand your child’s needs and develop strategies to integrate changes into your and your child’s daily life, one step at a time.

💙 Today we join the Walk for Daniel to raise awareness and stand together for child safety.

This walk is a reminder that every child deserves to be safe, protected, and heard. By taking part, we honour Daniel Morecombe’s legacy and continue the mission to educate, empower, and protect children across our communities.

Let’s all do our part — spread awareness, start conversations, and keep children safe. 👣💙

Why W-Sitting Matters

You may notice your child often sits in a “W” position, with their knees bent inward and feet out to the sides. While it can look comfortable, frequent W-sitting is often linked to retained primitive reflexes (like the Tonic Labyrinthine Reflex and Asymmetrical Tonic Neck Reflex).

These reflexes, when they don’t fully integrate, can affect:
👉 Core strength and posture
👉 Balance and coordination
👉 Attention and focus
👉 The way children cross midline (an important foundation for reading and writing)

Supporting reflex integration with movement-based therapy, functional neurology activities, and play can make a big difference. 🌈

💭 A Note from me as a Parent
I often think, “I wish I knew then what I know now.”

When my child was that age, I didn’t realise how much their sitting posture could reflect what was happening in their nervous system. As parents, we only know what we know at the time — and we’re all doing our best with the information we have.

Now, with more understanding, I see how important it is to look beyond the surface and support development in ways that help kids thrive long-term. If you see your child W-sitting, don’t panic — just know it may be a clue worth exploring. 🌟

🔹 Therapy can be fun, playful, and empowering.
🔹 Reflex work builds strong foundations for learning and behaviour.
🔹 And remember — it’s never too late to support your child’s development!

🌬️ Mouth Breathing & Primitive Reflexes 🧠✨

Did you know that mouth breathing can sometimes be linked to retained primitive reflexes? These early survival reflexes — like the Moro reflex or TLR — should naturally integrate as a child develops. If they don’t, they can impact posture, muscle tone, and even breathing patterns.

For children with ADHD, mouth breathing may add extra challenges:
➡️ Less oxygen to the brain → reduced focus & attention
➡️ Increased stress on the nervous system
➡️ Poor sleep quality, leading to emotional regulation difficulties
➡️ Ongoing impact on speech, jaw development & overall health

💡 At CTS QLD, we assess primitive reflexes as part of our functional neurology approach. Addressing these early patterns can improve breathing, focus, behaviour, and learning outcomes — giving kids a stronger foundation for growth.

👧👦 Remember: mouth breathing isn’t “just a habit.” It’s often a clue that deeper neurological patterns are at play.

📍 Book an assessment with our team to see how primitive reflex work can support your child’s development.

🌟 At CTS QLD we’ve named our therapy rooms! 🌟
We know stepping into therapy can sometimes feel overwhelming, so we’ve given each room a warm and friendly name to help children feel comfortable, safe and settled. 💙

By taking away that “clinical feel,” we create spaces where kids can relax, engage, and truly enjoy their sessions. 🧩✨

🧠✨ NeurOptimal® Neurofeedback ✨🧠

Did you know we offer NeurOptimal® Neurofeedback sessions at our clinic and our units are also available for home rental? 🙌

This non-invasive brain training tool helps your brain function at its best by promoting balance, regulation, and resilience.

✅ For athletes – improves focus, reaction time, recovery, and performance
✅ For concussion recovery – supports healing, reduces brain fog, and restores clarity
✅ For academics – boosts concentration, memory, and learning efficiency
✅ For both adults & kids – supports emotional regulation, stress reduction, and overall wellbeing

NeurOptimal doesn’t “force” the brain — instead, it provides gentle feedback so your brain can naturally reorganise and optimise itself. 🌟

Whether you’re chasing peak performance, recovering from injury, or simply wanting a calmer, sharper mind — Neurofeedback can make a real difference.

📍 In-clinic sessions or flexible home rental units available.

🌸🧠 Did you know we can stimulate the weaker side of the brain through smell?
This approach comes from the Melillo Method, which uses sensory input to help balance the left and right hemispheres of the brain.

✨ Certain scents activate the left hemisphere (linked with logic, language, and detail).
☕ Other scents activate the right hemisphere (linked with creativity, emotion, and big-picture thinking).

By identifying which side of the brain is underactive, we can gently encourage growth and balance through specific scents — a fun, safe and effective part of brain-based therapy. 🌈

💡 At Children’s Therapy Services QLD, we layer this with other brain-boosting tools to support development, focus, and emotional regulation.

🌟 Supporting little brains, one sense at a time.

✨ Laser Therapy for Healing ✨

Did you know our Erchonia EVRL laser can help children recover safely and effectively – drug free and without the need for surgery? 💡

Here’s an example: A child who had a fall came in for just one session on the EVRL laser. The results were so powerful that surgery was no longer required. 🙌

Low-level laser therapy supports the body’s natural healing by:
✅ Reducing inflammation
✅ Speeding up recovery
✅ Relieving pain without medication
✅ Helping tissues repair naturally

At Children’s Therapy Services QLD, we’re proud to offer this incredible technology to help kids (and families) get back on their feet quicker – the natural way. 🌈

📅 Book in today and see how laser therapy could support your child’s recovery.

🌊 First Day at Nippers 🏖️

This morning was tough. Our eldest (9) had a huge meltdown before her very first day at Nippers. Clothes felt itchy, the new environment was overwhelming, and the unknowns stacked up fast. 💔

But here’s the truth… not only are we practitioners, we are parents too. We live these moments first-hand. We know what it feels like when something new is exciting and triggering all at once.

For many children, especially those with sensory sensitivities or autism, these moments can be big triggers—new textures, new routines, new expectations. It’s a reminder that behind every therapy session, behind every strategy, there’s a family navigating the real-life ups and downs.

💡 At Children’s Therapy Services, we stand beside you not just as professionals, but as parents walking the same journey.

You’re not alone. 💙 (she had the best time in the end)

✨ AI & Social Media – A Learning Moment! ✨

This week my girls have been exploring how AI can change images and videos – and how what you see on reels or social media isn’t always real!
💡 They even had a go themselves, adjusting photos with AI to see just how easily things can be created.

It’s such an important reminder for kids (and adults too!) that:
🔹 Not everything online is factual
🔹 Pictures and videos can be altered
🔹 Always think twice before believing what you see

We’re raising curious, smart kids who know how to spot the difference 💕
