You’ll see:
• How to use books without reading every word
• Ways to pair stories with pictures or objects
• Easy questions to build understanding and sound recognition

Book Week 2025: Book an Adventure!
This year, we’re celebrating stories that reflect the beautifully diverse ways people experience the world.

At Peninsula Plus, we know how powerful books can be—not just for developing language and literacy, but for helping children see themselves in the pages. When young readers recognise their own strengths, challenges, and ways of being reflected in a story, it builds identity, confidence, and connection.

That’s why we’ve curated a list of stories that uplift neurodivergent voices, characters, and themes. These books explore sensory experiences, social dynamics, emotional regulation, and the richness of thinking differently—all in age-appropriate and affirming ways.

They’re wonderful tools for starting conversations at home, in therapy, or in the classroom—and can be a bridge to deeper understanding and inclusion.

Cancelled doesn’t mean no support!

Had to cancel an appointment within the cancellation window? We get it — life happens! But a cancelled session doesn’t have to mean no service.

Your clinician can still use that time to support your goals. Here are some ways we can make the most of it:
✅ A parent phone or video session to discuss progress and strategies.
✅ Creating personalised resources for home practice.
✅ Preparing reports for assessments or upcoming NDIS reviews.
✅ Coordinating with your care team, like teachers or other allied health professionals.
✅ Planning and preparing for future sessions to keep progress on track.

We’re here to make every moment count, even when plans change!

How can stories help us heal?

Meg, our Provisional Psychologist, often uses books and storytelling to help children and young people:
- Express big feelings
- Reframe tricky moments
- Build confidence and a strong sense of identity

Because it’s not just about what happened—it’s about the meaning we make from it. And that meaning? It shapes how we grow.

Let us know: what books have helped your clients—or your family—understand emotions in a new way?

Why do OTs love reading aloud?

Because it’s more than just storytime.
Hannah (OT) shares why We’re Going on a Bear Hunt is one of her favourites—and how shared reading supports:

- Sensory regulation
- Turn-taking & social connection
- Language and imagination
- Emotional growth through rhythm & repetition

Next time you’re reading together, try asking:
“What do you think will happen next?”

It’s a simple question with big developmental power.

Wondering how our waitlist works? Here’s the lowdown!

Our waitlist isn’t first-come, first-served — it works as a triage system to help us match each client with the right clinician, at the right time, in the right place.

What do we consider?
• Your child’s needs and therapy goals
• Clinician availability and areas of experience
• Location preferences across our 3 hubs (or offsite)
• Your flexibility with days and times

We know waiting can be hard, but our priority is making the best possible match for each individual.

If you’re unsure about your options while you wait, we have other supports available — just reach out!
