Awards feel great because they’re a celebration of our people, our community, our team and of course all our clients 🥰

Winning the national Allied Health business of the year award last Saturday was huge, and with the arrival of some proper spring weather, we knew we had to get outside for a social drink to celebrate together.

Neurodiversity Affirming feels like a buzz word these days, but as leaders in this space we know we’re truly making an impact… not just through therapy but through our trained support workers, our parent webinars, our educator training and coaching programs, our courses for allied health professionals and our organisational consulting.

Whether you’re a therapist with aligned values, looking for your next career move, or a person or carer looking for support that feels right, we hope you’ll join us 💙

Nobody talks enough about ADHD burnout in children – but the research is catching up.

A new 2025 study found that it isn’t ADHD itself that drives burnout… it’s the school environment.

When children don’t feel safe, understood, or like they belong, exhaustion builds until their spark fades.
But when schools adapt through teacher training, flexible pacing, celebrating strengths, and creating cultures of belonging – children thrive.

At Spot Therapy Hub, we believe:
✨ Belonging is medicine.
✨ Relationship-based, neurodiversity-affirming practice changes lives.
✨ Every child deserves an environment that supports them to flourish.

It’s time to stop asking “How can we change the child?” and start asking “What can we change in the environment?”

👋 Hi, I’m Kate!
I’m the founder of Spot, a dual-qualified therapist, and mum of four (yes… life is busy and noisy, just how I like it 💜). I started Spot because I wanted families to have a space where therapy feels affirming, supportive, and actually fun.
A few things about me:

✨ I love being on the floor playing with kids just as much as I love dreaming big about how Spot can grow.

✨ I’m passionate about making sure neurodivergent kids and families feel truly seen and celebrated.

✨ I always make time for a swim on the weekend, its my weekly GLIMMER that re-sets and re-charges me.

I’m so excited to connect with you here, whether you’re a parent, a professional, or just curious about what we do. Thanks for being part of our community 🌿💫

Last week, we talked about the Danish study showing that school environment - not the child or family - is the biggest factor in autistic students’ participation.

This week, we dive into a review of 233 studies across the world, which reveals most “inclusion” programs are still integration in disguise.

They focus on changing the child, instead of changing the school.

True inclusion means adapting the environment so autistic students can thrive, not just cope.

It’s no surprise we’re seeing more families turn to homeschooling when schools aren’t keeping up.

Final reflection: Getting things right for autistic kids is COMPLEX. We’re worried that the Government’s planned Thriving Kids program will not include the SYSTEMIC OVERHAUL needed to actually see autistic kids thrive.

What would real inclusion look like in your school community?

What helps autistic children thrive at school?
A large 2024 Dutch study looked closely at this question.

Researchers compared youth factors, family factors, and school factors, and found that the SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT was the most important predictor of participation.

❌ Not the child’s traits.
❌ Not the family’s education or parenting style.
✅ It was the physical environment of the school - things like noise, sensory load, layout, and accessibility that made the biggest difference.

This research confirms what neurodivergent people and families have been saying for years:

Schools need to be better designed for inclusion.

When environments are accessible, children can and do participate.

It’s never about “fixing” the child or their family. It’s about changing the environment (as we always say at Spot, disability is often context bound).

If you are an educator who would like to learn more, we would love to help. This truly is Spot vision and mission. We’ll start anywhere to help you and/or your community 💙
