Talking to your kid about their diagnosis isn't just important, it's also a way to help them feel more in control. It gives them the language to understand themselves and tools to support themselves:

💬 Language to describe their experiences without shame or defaulting to character-based labels.
💛 A foundation to support self-compassion
📢 A framework for self-advocacy
💞 New opportunities for belonging and connection
✨ Basic respect for who they are

Talking openly about a diagnosis is about giving kids the knowledge, language, and confidence to understand themselves and navigate the world with more support and clarity.

Today is World Su***de Prevention Day.

It’s a day to honour the memories of those we’ve lost to su***de and to offer support to those facing difficult times and those living with the grief of losing someone.

The message of ‘Changing the Narrative on Su***de’ encourages us to change how we talk about su***de. To replace silence and stigma for empathy, compassion and action.

We all have a role to play in staying connected, showing up for those we care about and helping those struggling access the support they need.

Show the people around you that you’re there for them by asking 'are you OK?'. Because a conversation could change a life.

What is a Developmental Educator — and how can they help under NDIS?

At Grow Therapy Services, our Developmental Educators (DEs) specialise in supporting neurodivergent children, young people, and adults to reach their goals in ways that are meaningful, achievable, and affirming.

A Developmental Educator is a qualified allied health professional with a strong focus on inclusion, participation, and capacity building. We don’t diagnose or provide medical treatment — instead, we work alongside you and your family to:

🔹 Build daily living skills (self-care, routines, independence)
🔹 Support emotional regulation and wellbeing
🔹 Develop social communication and connection skills
🔹 Address behaviours through a neuroaffirming lens (understanding the why)
🔹 Create strategies to support sensory and environmental needs
🔹 Provide assessments and reports to guide NDIS planning (functional, sensory, adaptive behaviour, goal-setting, environment, participation)

Our DEs bring together lived experience, evidence-informed practice, and the GROW™ neuroaffirming framework to design supports that are flexible, strength-based, and driven by your goals.

Through the NDIS, and privately funded services, we help participants and families to not only meet goals but to feel confident, included, and supported in everyday life.

Final Hours – Doors Close Tonight!

The BIG WHY behind the GROW™ Framework is simple, but urgent:

👉 To protect and prioritise the mental health of our neurodivergent children.

For too long, behaviour support has focused on compliance. But compliance doesn’t keep kids safe — it often silences them, strips autonomy, and fuels trauma.

Neurodivergent children deserve better. They deserve:
✨ A neuroaffirming approach that validates their identity
✨ Trauma-informed supports that protect against burnout and anxiety
✨ Authentic, person-centred practice that sees behaviour as communication, not a problem to be fixed

The GROW™ Framework equips practitioners with the tools to create environments where neurodivergent children and young people can thrive — not just “cope.”

By joining this first Certified Practitioner Cohort, you’re not just learning a new framework. You’re committing to a movement that puts children’s wellbeing at the heart of behaviour support.

Because behaviour isn’t the problem. The problem is unmet needs, unsafe environments, and systems that don’t listen. GROW™ changes that.

Final Hours: Doors close midnight. Be the first GROW™ Practitioners and lead the change our children need.

🌟 Happy Monday everyone! 🌟

We just want to let you know about some changes around our building this week.

👷‍♂️ Our neighbours at Hula Bar are doing upgrades on their building.

This means:
• 🚗 There is less car parking right in front of our entrance
• 🔨 You may hear extra noise from the roof
• 🚧 There are some signs, fences, and materials blocking parts of the walkway
• 📍 If needed, we can move your session to another spot to make things easier

💛 Thank you for your understanding while the work is happening.
We’re here to help and will do our best to make things smooth for you.

🙏 We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

Image Description:
A photo of the front of our building. The walkway is partly blocked with red-and-white “Danger – Do Not Enter” tape and a temporary fence. You can see our front door with the Happy Hub, Inclusive Movement and Grow Therapy Services signs, and cars parked in the background.
