We came across this useful resource from raisingchildren.net.au on how to support children during distressing events, and wanted to share it here for anyone who may find it helpful.

Start Term 1 With Clarity, Not Guesswork

A new school year can bring excitement… and sometimes worry.

If your child found this year challenging, an assessment before Term 1 can shift everything.

Here’s what families appreciate most:
- Feeling prepared to support their child
- Clear strategies for home + school
- Understanding what’s typical vs what needs attention
- A roadmap - instead of guessing what to do next

We currently have January 2026 availability.

If you’d like your child to start the year feeling supported and confident, reach out and let’s chat about what assessment may be right for them.

Why School Holiday Assessments Are So Helpful

For many families, they also create space - to reflect, to notice patterns and to get clarity.

Here’s why holiday appointments work so well:
• No missed class time
• Kids are more rested (and assessments feel less overwhelming)
• Families have more breathing room
• Recommendations can be shared with Term 1 teachers from day one

If you’re considering an assessment over the break, now’s a great time to chat through options. Give us a call. We’re here to help.

On the weekend we celebrated 2025 as a team, closing out the year with good food and a chance to reflect together. Our team brings so much heart to the work we do, and it was a wonderful way to round out the year.

January isn’t just the start of a new year. For many families, it’s the ideal time to get clarity before school begins.

Here’s why January assessment appointments are so helpful:
• A fresh start makes it easier to notice what your child may need heading into Term 1
• Children are more rested and less overwhelmed, which leads to more accurate assessment results
• Recommendations can be shared with teachers before the year begins
• Families can start Term 1 with a clear plan instead of waiting and hoping things improve

We currently have January 2026 assessment availability.

If you’d like to explore which assessment may best support your child, feel free to give us a call on 8821 6577 and we can talk through the options.

Liv and Abbi had way too much fun making popcorn for the team today - the Nunawading clinic smelled amazing and the snack break was a hit!

Nothing like a little midweek treat to keep everyone smiling.

January is one of the best times of the year to organise an assessment. With a new school year approaching, it can provide clarity, confidence and a strong start for children who may need extra support.

At Step by Step Psychology, we offer:
• Cognitive Assessments
• Specific Learning Disorder Assessments
• ADHD Assessments
• Autism Assessments

Why January is helpful:
• you get results in time for Term 1 planning
• teachers start the year with a clear understanding of your child’s needs
• supports and adjustments can begin early
• reduces stress during the busy first weeks of school

If you’ve been wondering whether an assessment might help your child in 2026, January is an ideal time to get started.

For more information or to discuss suitability, contact our admin team.

Thinking about next year?

November is a great time to plan ahead - especially if your child might benefit from an assessment, a check-in or extra support before Term 1 begins.

Planning now gives families time to:
• understand learning or emotional needs
• set up supports early
• reduce stress during the January rush
• help children feel more confident walking into a new year

A little preparation now can make a big difference in how 2026 begins.

Change can feel big for children - whether they’re starting school, moving into a new year level or adjusting to Term 4 routines.

Here are four gentle ways to support them through it:
• talk openly about what’s ahead
• keep daily routines steady
• acknowledge emotions without trying to “fix” them
• celebrate the small wins and growing confidence

Little moments of connection make transitions feel more manageable for children, especially during busy times of year.

06/11/2025

Term 4 can feel busy and full. Children often show tiredness in their behaviour, emotions or concentration before they have the words for it.

Recharging doesn’t require big changes, just small adjustments that allow space to slow down:
Simpler evenings
Earlier bedtimes
Gentle weekends
Time with no expectations
Celebrating wins

Little resets help restore calm, connection and steadiness as the year winds down.
