Is "good sitting" really the best way for kids to learn? 🤔

Research shows that movement isn’t a distraction; it’s an essential part of learning! Whether it’s fidgeting, jumping, or wiggling, movement helps kids stay engaged, focused, and ready to connect.

In our latest blog, we explore how integrating movement into learning can support self-regulation, brain development, and overall engagement. ✨

Let’s rethink how kids learn, because movement is part of the process.

🎀 Breast Cancer Awareness Month 🎀

At NSPOT, we’re proud to support our community this October. 💕

Breast cancer touches so many lives, family, friends, and even our little clients loved ones. While our clinic helps children thrive through Speech and Occupational Therapy, we also stand with families impacted by breast cancer.

This month, we’re raising awareness, spreading kindness, and celebrating the strength and resilience of our community. 🌸💗

💙 October is ADHD Awareness Month 🤍

This year’s theme is “The Many Faces of ADHD.”

At NSPOT, we know that ADHD looks different for every child.

✨ For some, it's trouble sitting still or focusing in class.
✨ For others, it's finding the right words or managing big emotions.
✨ And for many, it’s also incredible creativity, curiosity, and determination.

Our Speech Pathologists and Occupational Therapists support children and families to recognise strengths, build skills, and find strategies that work for them.

This month, we’re celebrating all the unique faces of ADHD. 💫

✨ September Wrap-Up at NSPOT ✨

September was such a full and heartwarming month for our team!

🎂 We got to celebrate not one, but two special birthdays in the clinic.

🌟 Our team came together to recognise Sakeen as our August Values Champion, a well-deserved shoutout for the incredible work he brings to NSPOT each day.

💛 We participated in R U OK? Day, a meaningful reminder to check in with the people around us and start conversations that matter.

🤗 We also welcomed Molly back from her annual leave, we missed her energy and it’s so good to have her back in the clinic with us.

🎉 And, to top it all off, we announced our really exciting giveaway, something we’ve been looking forward to sharing with our community!

It’s been a month full of connection, celebration, and meaningful moments, and we can’t wait to see what October has in store. 💙💙

AAC isn’t about replacing speech, it’s about giving kids a way to be heard, in their time, their way.

Gestures, signs, picture boards, devices, it all counts. 💬
When we model AAC, we’re saying: “You have something to say, and I’m here to listen.”

Learn more about how AAC changes lives in our latest post!

Does your child wiggle, bounce, or fidget while learning? Good. That means their brain is working. 🙌🧠

Movement is not a distraction; it’s self-regulation in action.

Whether it’s a wobble stool, a squishy fidget, or pacing the room, functional movement helps kids stay calm, connected, and engaged.
