Enhancing Learning

Enhancing Learning The Enhancing Learning team is dedicated to creating connections, conversations and creativity. We hope to see you at play soon. Anthea, Kendra & Sharna

This is a therapy and learning space where children have agency and can engage in the play they learn best from. We are three sisters (two teachers and one speechie) promoting and demonstrating that pretend play is a perfect learning opportunity for children in early childhood where the focus should be on creativity, innovation, social interaction and most of all talking! We want to inspire paren

t's and teacher's imagination and skills at engaging children not just in simple pretend play routines but in complex, dynamic and extended play transactions.

​Let us show you just how much the pretend play we design can be used to extend children's language skills, conversation skills and movement skills.

The EL team have been busy re-arranging and making more amazing spaces for our families to enjoy. To make more room we have been clearing out some items. Prices are on the pictures, they are available for pick-up from the EL Centre next week. Comment sold on the picture if you are interested. We will add more as we continue. In most cases these items are only 'one of' unless otherwise noted.

Our Speechie Kara and other EL team members having been curating our Seasons Window. Many of the images have been created using the paper children have created using soap art, shaving cream art and other explorations of paint prints.

Makuru - the coldest and wettest time of the year. Traditionally people would move back inland from the coast as the wind and rain began to set in.

It certainly has seen the rain set in here on Binjareb Country!

We need to change a word that is hurting our children. A word that has no place if communities embrace diversity.

That word is behaviour.

This single word makes us jump to a mental view of a child being:

* Naughty
* Disrespectful
* Irresponsible
* Getting away with something

We are a on mission to ban the word BEHAVIOUR as an outdated, antiquated mental concept that too many adults view the world through.

We believe it is critical to replace this word with the word ACTION.

Why do w

At Enhancing Learning we have been been busy writing up our approach to share it more broadly than just the families who are able to attend our inclusive play centre. It is tricky to prioritise the writing side of things when we enjoy the play engagement so much. This is an excerpt from the book so far - setting the scene for what our book Growing Great Human Beings is all about.

What is a great human being?

If you have chosen to find purpose in your own life as a nurturer (someone who actively wants to nurture the progress of children who come into your sphere of influence) we would encourage you to reflect on what growing great humans looks like. The definition of a great human being will be different...

Hi Members of the AHA Service Design community,

As I described in my webinar and the AHA workbook, I rely heavily on forms to streamline how I keep track of the sessions delivered by an AHA to authorise their notes for entry into my Client Management System (CMS). I will outline our current set up here as the most efficient and effective I have developed so far. But would also love feedback from members as to alternative arrangement you may have put in place.

While current online CMS's are ama

This space is slowly evolving as our carer retreat space. We teach adults and children to understand the fizz in their body and to seek neutralisers to lower that fizz level. Carers need to access neutralisers too and this area gives them a place to sit, catch up on work, have a coffee, read a book and simply recharge.

Tins 4 Talkers Campaign! We need your support 🙌

iPads are an incredible tool for children with communication difficulties but as of 3/10/24 the NDIS legislated that iPads are on the NOT funded list as “common household” item. There is now a very convoluted replacement process that costs far more (from therapy support budgets) than to simply purchase the iPad as a communication accomodation.

In order to support our families we have decided to collect 10c containers and use 100% of the money raised to purchase an iPad as a communication device for families and children in need. You can bring your 10c containers to our Enhancing Learning Centre or you can take them to your nearest facility and use the QR code below.

Our families will be truly thankful for your support 🥰
