✨ Happy Occupational Therapy Week! ✨

This week we join Occupational Therapy Australia in celebrating the everyday moments when Occupational Therapy is truly in action. 🌻

At Kaleidoscope Therapy we’re proud to support children and families to participate in life with independence, dignity and joy - from play and routines, to regulation and discovery.

Occupational Therapy isn’t just what we plan — it’s what we do: creativity, problem solving, adapting the environment, empowering children and their families to step into roles that matter most. 🌻

Here’s to the OTs, the children, and the families - for creating the magic that turns everyday moments into meaning, connection, and possibility. 💫

It’s Day 2 of Speech Pathology Week 2025 ✨

Today we’re celebrating Confidence through Communication.

🗣️ Speech pathologists support people in expressing themselves clearly and proudly - giving them the confidence to connect, participate, and be heard.

Communication builds:
✨ Confidence in everyday conversations
✨ Pride in self-expression
✨ A stronger sense of belonging

Every voice matters. Every message deserves to be heard. 💬💙

Today we celebrate Connection through Communication.
At its heart, communication is what brings us together - with our families, our friends, and our communities.

Speech pathologists support people of all ages to build those vital connections, whether it’s:
✨ a child learning their first words,
✨ someone reconnecting after a stroke,
✨ or giving individuals the tools to share their stories and be understood.

Every connection matters. Every voice matters. 💬💚

This is the power of speech pathology 🦋

“The World We Can Build” book launch at Squishy Minnie Bookstore this Sunday. Author Eliza Hull will be in store signing her books, plus there will be book reading and fun activities for the kids! 📚✨

We ordered a big stack of Eliza's books for this but the stack is getting smaller as people snaffle up their copies early. Let us know if you want us to put a copy aside for you to get signed. This is going to be so much fun!
