Starting school is a big milestone, and so is being toilet trained.

Toilet training is a big milestone and sometimes the usual strategies don’t work that easily.

If you’re wondering how to get your child comfortable and ready to try, we've got some simple, practical tips to make the process easier and less stressful.

Here’s a reminder that every small step forward is worth celebrating.

Whether it's improvements in engagement during a session, using new words, or changes in emotional regulation, progress happens in many forms.

At DOTS Therapy Hub, we focus on your child’s progress, celebrating the small wins, learning from challenges & changes and building confidence along the way.

We’re here to support you and your family and recognise the moments where meaningful steps are being taken.

Many adults want those top few levels from their neurodivergent kids.

To get to those higher levels, we need all the lower levels solidly built up.

If you have concerns about any of those higher skills, work on the blocks underneath.

Maturity and life experience also help with building this tower. Many of our kids will need accommodations in place to support some things, such as the purple level (executive function skills). Needing accommodations is not a personal failing- not for the kid and not for the parent. It's a sensible, practical, and necessary support.

If you are accommodating your ND kids, your ND students, your ND employees- you are amazing. Thanks for showing the world that it can be done.

Changes to routine, and transitions from one activity or setting to another, can be distressing or unsettling for some children.

These strategies can help them feel safe, understood, and supported - making transitions smoother for everyone across the day.

You manage every part of your child’s day, but it might still feel hard to understand why things are difficult.

Look at what you already know:

→ When is your child the happiest?

→ When do you think your child learns the best?

→ If left by themselves, what would they do on their own?

Your insights about your child’s preferences, routines, and interests can point you towards the next steps on how to support them in ways that really make a difference.

These are the clues to understanding them better.

We help you establish goals that are anchored in what your family values, so that progress feels tangible and meaningful.

When we place families at the centre of goal setting, we don’t just improve your child’s outcomes, we strengthen your involvement and capacity to give them the support they need.

When you’re caring for your child, everything can feel urgent. It’s hard to know what to focus on first.

That’s why we start by asking: What feels most important to you right now?

There’s no right or wrong answer.

Whatever it is for you, that becomes our starting point. Together, we can focus on what matters most today and build from there at a pace that feels right for your family.

Because the best support isn’t about doing everything at once, it’s about beginning where it matters most.

Excited to see the launch of the National Best Practice Framework for Early Childhood Intervention - worth a read and look forward to resources being launched as well.

PRECI are thrilled to announce the release of the official National Best Practice Framework for Early Childhood Intervention, approved for publication by the Commonwealth Government.
The PRECI Project Team (Denise, Kerry, Susana, Anoo, Tim) have worked extremely hard to not only incorporate current evidence, but also the input from practitioners and researchers from a diversity of disciplines.
We have enjoyed working in collaboration with the other members of the Consortium over the last 18 months. Thank you to everyone who shared their expertise through the consultations. The Framework is better for all your input!
Watch this space for more information on the framework to come!

As allies of the disability community, we raise our united voices against changes to the NDIS that are causing harm. No one should be worse off, not now, not ever!

The NDIS was built on a foundation of inclusion, dignity and choice. It was meant to level the playing field and support people with disabilities to live good lives not just survive.

We stand with the disability community and say enough! We’re not just allies, we’re in this together.

One voice. One message. Stop the cuts!
