Mirror play 🪞✨ (it’s not just for babies!)

Mirror play is a simple activity that supports development across all ages — from babies right through to older children.

Mirror Play can help build:

✨ Self-awareness & body awareness – Understanding “this is me” and how the body moves

✨ Emotional awareness – Noticing and exploring different facial expressions

✨ Social skills – Practising eye contact, turn-taking, and interaction

✨ Motor skills – Copying movements, gestures, and coordination tasks

✨ Confidence – Building comfort with seeing and expressing themselves

💡 Try this:
• Babies – use mirrors during tummy time
• Toddlers – make faces, name emotions
• Preschoolers – copy actions (clap, jump, silly poses)
• School-aged kids – practise routines, social scripts, or calming strategies

Low-prep, engaging, and incredibly versatile — SAY LESS!!! A small tool with BIG developmental impact 🤍

Just play OR….

building core strength, coordination and motor planning? 🤷🏻‍♀️

This kind of play is supporting so much more!! 💪🏼🧠
(and not to mention super easy to implement at home and beyond!)

✔️ Core stability
✔️ Bilateral coordination
✔️ Spatial awareness
✔️ Confidence in movement

Just to name a few!
Play is never just play 😉

Today we Purple UP for Epilepsy 💜

Standing in support, raising awareness, and showing love to those living with epilepsy and their families. You are never alone!

Did you know:
💜 1 in 26 people who will be diagnosed with epilepsy in their lifetime
💜 Here in Australia, it’s estimated that 266,000 people are living with epilepsy: our families, friends, colleagues, students, carers and community members whose experiences are too often invisible.

This is our year to amplify voices, dismantle stigma, educate communities, and build understanding 🫶🏼

New OT Alert!!! 🌟

We’re so excited to welcome our newest senior OT, Hepsi 🎉 She is bringing a wealth of experience and knowledge!

I’m originally from India, but have spent many years living and working in Singapore before making Australia my home.

I’m passionate about discovering each child’s unique strengths and understanding the barriers that shape their everyday participation. I enjoy working closely alongside parents, caregivers, educators, and multidisciplinary teams, believing that the best outcomes grow from genuine collaboration and trusted therapeutic relationships.

I’m also currently pursuing my PhD, bridging research and practice to create meaningful change in children’s
everyday lives.

Fun facts about me:
💗 Favourite colour: Pink
🐴 Favourite animal: Horse or Eagle
❄️ Favourite animated movie: Frozen
🍜 Favourite food: Asian cuisine

Join us in giving Hepsi a warm welcome! She’s excited to be joining the BBTH team and getting to know you all 👏💙

As OT’s at BBTH 🚀 we celebrate every brain and every way of being 🧠✨

Neurodiversity reminds us that differences aren’t deficits…. they’re strengths to be supported, understood, and celebrated 🌈

We love working alongside incredible families every day to support their children in ways that honour who they are — not change them! 👩🏼‍🤝‍👨🏽🧡

Lauren & Ingrid just wrapped up 3 days of learning at the Vestibular‑Visual Matters course 👩‍⚕️📚 A massive thankyou to .ca from Relationship Matters!!

An intensive deep dive into the development and integration of the vestibular and visual systems — and how these systems work together to support posture, movement, regulation, learning and everyday function.

Always investing in learning so we can bring the best evidence-based strategies back to the kids and families we support 💛✨
