Our PsychCare Psychology occupational therapists spent Wednesday morning at Move Mobility, attending a workshop on Adjustable Beds & Mattresses: Prescription Essentials, presented by Ronan Kelly, Managing Director at European Bedding. The workshop provided valuable clinical insights and strengthened their knowledge to better support clients in achieving safe, functional, and comfortable sleep environments.

A big thank you to Ronan and the team at in Shailer Park for a fantastic workshop on adjustable beds and mattresses 🛏️✨

🎉 OT WEEK 2025 🎉
Ever wondered how play can build everyday life skills? 👀✨
Through the eyes of games like Pop the Pig, Spot It, Fishing Game, Wooden Lacing Shoe, and even Fidgets, occupational therapists help children (and adults!) develop:
🧠 Cognitive skills – focus, memory, problem-solving
💪 Motor skills – strength, coordination, dexterity
💬 Social & emotional skills – turn-taking, patience, confidence
🎯 Visual-perceptual skills – tracking, scanning, and attention to detail
Each playful moment is a building block for independence, regulation, and participation in daily life.
💛 Celebrate and discover the power of play with occupational therapy!

🧩 How Occupational Therapists Use Social Stories 🧩

Social stories are a tool used by Occupational Therapists to help children and teens understand everyday situations, routines, and functioning. 🌟By breaking down tasks or events into clear, visual, and supportive steps, social stories build confidence, reduce anxiety, and promote independence in daily life. Whether it’s learning how to join a group, manage emotions, or follow a routine, social stories help to support growing minds. 💬✨

✨ Our OTs are accepting new child and adult clients, contact us today to book an appointment.
