A favourite toy can be so much more than “just a toy”.

For many children, bringing something familiar from home can help them feel safer, settle into the space more easily, and engage in therapy through play.

When kids feel safe and connected, they are more ready to explore, participate, and build new skills 😊

Tip: Choose a comforting toy that isn’t too distracting. Something familiar can help your child feel settled, while still allowing them to stay engaged in the session.

What is the difference between a child missing 10 minutes of class for a regulated break…

and a child staying in the room for 60 minutes without learning at all?

Breaks are not lost learning time. They are access-to-learning time!

Today is World Autism Awareness Day, a chance to pause and reflect on the importance of inclusion, understanding, and acceptance across our wider community.

Days like this matter because they encourage us to listen more carefully, create safer spaces, and think more thoughtfully about how people experience and engage with the world in many different ways

From dentist play to “open mouth” 🦷

Ava has been having so much fun in her speech sessions with Helen, especially when it’s time to change into her scrubs!

Dentist Ava loves to take the lead, give instructions, and share her ideas. It’s been beautiful to watch her confidence grow.

While she’s in charge, we’re building her communication skills and strengthening her use of Proloquo2Go so that her words are there whenever she needs them.

A key goal right now is supporting her to use short phrases (2–3 words) during play, with functional combinations like “clean teeth” and “let’s wash.”

Sometimes real progress looks just like play 😊
