Our latest Thoughtful Thursday blog explores how multidisciplinary care brings together different allied health perspectives, and how this collaborative approach leads to more connected, consistent support for clients and families.

It also features a real-life case study showing how collaboration between a Speech Pathologist, Behaviour Support Practitioner, and Occupational Therapist at Back to Basics supported communication, independence, and sensory safety in daily routines.

This Winning Wednesday, we’re celebrating how advocacy and collaboration can make a real difference.

One of our clients was facing frequent hospital visits related to mealtime safety. By working closely with support staff, our therapists developed and implemented practical mealtime strategies that improved safety and comfort, helping reduce those hospital visits and supporting a better quality of life.

At Back to Basics Health Group, we’re proud to have our clients’ backs: advocating for their needs, empowering their support teams, and celebrating every step forward. 💙

Every behaviour tells a story. When words are hard to find, actions become the voice, showing us feelings like frustration, pain, or a need for connection.

Behaviour Support looks beyond the behaviour itself, uncovering the reasons behind actions and developing positive, practical strategies that make everyday life calmer and more meaningful.

By understanding the “why,” we can respond with empathy, build confidence, and strengthen relationships, at home, at school / work, and in the community. 💙

Have you ever noticed behaviour saying more than words? We’d love to hear your thoughts below.

Everyday routines can create calm, space, and more time for family fun!

This Winning Wednesday, we’re celebrating how small steps in daily routines can have a big impact at home. When routines are consistent and shaped around a family’s needs, life can feel calmer, more connected, and more joyful.

As one of our client’s parents recently shared: “Routine is set and we’re having fun… it’s been such an amazing journey… our bond with our kids has become so incredibly strong.” 💙

It’s a beautiful reminder that clear, everyday routines can help families feel more settled, while creating space for fun and connection.

Ever felt nervous about joining a chat, making a friend, or speaking up in a group? You’re not alone.

Speech pathology can support social communication skills, like turn-taking, reading cues, and expressing needs, which often build the confidence to connect.

At Back to Basics Health Group, we know that reports and letters of support are more than just paperwork, they’re a bridge between therapy and everyday life.

A well-prepared report can:
• clearly explain a person’s needs
• guide families and support teams in their daily care
• provide evidence for funding and service access
• ensure everyone involved is working towards the same goals

When reports are detailed and practical, they create clarity and confidence for everyone involved.

As one parent recently shared: “I don’t think we have ever had a report that was so thorough and so insightful of my daughter’s needs.”

This Winning Wednesday, we’re celebrating the role of thorough, thoughtful documentation in making sure support is meaningful, effective, and aligned with real-life goals. Because clear reports help turn small steps into real progress. 💚

A young adult client found it challenging to remember parts of their daily routine, and small tasks sometimes felt overwhelming. Together with their occupational therapist, they trialled a simple strategy: using a watch with an alarm to provide reminders.

This practical approach became part of their routine and helped make daily tasks feel more manageable.

This Winning Wednesday, we’re highlighting how everyday strategies can be incorporated into therapy in ways that fit naturally at home, at school and work, or in the community.

Speech Pathologists do far more than help with talking. They also support safe swallowing and eating, understanding and using language, and building social interaction skills.

From practising mealtime safety, to joining conversations at school or work, speech pathologists provide practical support to help people participate more fully in everyday life.

Could support in one of these areas help you or someone you know? Get in touch with us to find out more.

When people hear occupational therapy, many think rehab or hand therapy. But OT is much broader, and it’s all about making everyday life easier.

OT supports children, adults, older adults, and people with disabilities to take part in the daily activities that matter most, from routines and play to work, self-care, leisure, and community life.

At Back to Basics Health Group, OT is delivered where it works best: in real-life settings like homes, schools, workplaces, and community spaces. This makes therapy practical, meaningful, and easier to put into action every day.
