🎶 Last week, QPAH Director and Principal Registered Music Therapist, Monica Zidar joined fellow Australian Music Therapy Association leaders in an important meeting with the office of Senator Jenny McAllister, Minister for the National Disability Insurance Scheme.
We’re pleased to share that the minister's team reaffirmed their commitment to transparent, collaborative policy-making - a stance that aligns deeply with our values. We welcome their willingness to work with AMTA on solutions that protect participant choice, a cornerstone of our advocacy.
🙏 Huge thanks to Senator McAllister, Chief of Staff Reuben Mayo-Ray and Deputy Chief of Staff & Director of Policy Laura Haylen for the constructive and forward-focused discussion. We look forward to continuing this momentum together.

✨ Welcome Back to Term 3! ✨
The team at QPAH is excited to welcome all our wonderful Gold Coast kids back to school! As we dive into Term 3, it’s the perfect time to gently guide children back into their routines and support their emotional and developmental wellbeing.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Parents and carers, here are some expert-backed tips to help your child regulate and settle in smoothly:

🧠 From our Occupational Therapist:
🕒 Routine is regulation: Reintroduce predictable daily schedules to help kids feel safe and in control.
🧘 Movement matters: Encourage morning stretches or a short walk before school to activate their bodies and minds.
🎨 Sensory breaks: After school, offer quiet time with calming activities like drawing, reading or playing with sensory toys.

🗣️ From our Speech Therapist:
🗨️ Talk through transitions: Use simple language to explain what’s happening each day, to reduce anxiety.
📚 Read together: Choose books that reflect school experiences to spark conversation and build language skills.
🎤 Model and repeat: Help kids express themselves by modeling clear speech and gently repeating their words back to them.

💬 General Tips for All Families:
✅ Re-establish bedtime and morning routines
✅ Keep afternoons calm and screen-light
✅ Celebrate small wins, progress and effort
✅ Stay connected with teachers and support staff.

Let’s make Term 3 a time of growth, connection and confidence. We’re here to support you every step of the way! ✨
