Calling Speechies and OTs who would love to learn more about BREATHING 💨 This introductory course is for you!

Why? It’s a powerful tool for regulation (for us and our clients!)and there is a lot to know about the relationship between our Breathing Patterns, Sleep, Sensory Processing and its connection to other Orofacial Functions:

👉🏼Saliva Management
👉🏼Oral Habits and Seeking
👉🏼Chewing and Swallowing
👉🏼Speech

People with differences in the Postural Stability, Balance and Motor Coordination, are all highly likely to have signs and symptoms of Dysfunctional Breathing (the diaphragm is an important muscle!).

If any of this has sparked your curiosity, come and learn more!

Dual qualified Speech Pathologist & Occupational Therapist, Kate Broderick, is a passionate and engaging presenter, who always brings things back to the real world of CLINICAL PRACTICE and how we can apply knowledge meaningfully in client care💙

“You’re just so passionate.”
I’ve heard that a lot. And yes, I am. But what I share about trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming care isn’t just about passion or values.

It’s not about being “woke” or “crunchy.” It’s about survival, lived experience, and evidence.

As a neurodivergent therapist and parent of four beautifully different children, I tried the sticker charts. The firm tone. The parenting advice I thought was “normal.” None of it worked. And worse; it harmed.

So if you’ve ever wondered why I speak so fiercely and openly about this stuff, it’s because I’ve lived it.

This carousel is for parents who’ve ever felt isolated in parenting a sensitive, disabled or neurodivergent child.
It’s for those who hoped strangers would think they were a “bad parent,” just so they’d show their child empathy.

This isn’t about guilt. It’s about truth.
Evidence.
Care.
And doing what actually works.

You’re not alone.

After 25 years in private practice, I’ve seen the full spectrum; from once-a-week individual therapy, to individual therapy offered 5 days a week. And while intensity matters, it’s not enough on its own.

At Spot, we believe the most effective care is MULTI-MODAL

👉🏻 1:1 therapy

👉🏻 Parent/carer coaching

👉🏻 Training for the care team

👉🏻 Support in natural environments

👉🏻 Group therapy

Relationships are our most powerful tool and relationships need time, trust, and presence. That can’t be built with five sessions a term (or a year, for those who remember what disability supports looked like pre-NDIS).

As NDIS reforms continue, we must keep advocating for care that actually works. That means protecting the whole ecosystem, not just the parts that are easy to fund or measure.

We must be aware of cost cutting, dressed up as “evidence based reform.” We will always be able to cherry pick evidence to prove the value of one type of support over another - Because all supports hold value.

We must remember that the collective value of a multi-modal plan far outweighs the sum of its parts. When budgets get tighter, we should not be picking one over the other - we need to keep all components and budget ‘smarter.’

If we have to do more with less, let’s make sure we get the conversation right. Let’s keep focused on what best care really looks like.

We’re looking for parents and carers to join us on The Spot Life Podcast to share the real, raw, and beautiful moments of your journey.

The conversation with Kate will focus on:
☀️ Parenting Challenges

The Right of Child - This is something I passionately believe in, and at Spot, this influences our marketing approach.

Even with parent/carer consent, we will never post images of our real clients.

We can’t truly know whether those children would consent to their identity or story being shared, and it is not our right to assume it’s what they would be comfortable with in the future.

This does create some challenges for us in terms of representation of diversity - stock photos are a great option…but we also like authentic pics featuring our diverse team!

This is why you’ll often see my own children featured on our socials. We decided to invite my kids to our latest shoot at the last minute and one declined. The other three had a ball and I hope as they mature they will still feel comfortable with their inclusion in my work.

Final note to anyone new here: I’m a neurodivergent Founder CEO and we’re a neurosparkly family. Pics like these don’t capture the daily behind the scenes challenges…but they DO capture the JOY that is possible when you uphold trauma informed values (ie. prioritizing nervous system safety) and keep aiming in the right direction.

Whether you’re a parent, professional or organisation looking for guidance, I’m here to support you.

We love hearing client testimonials like this one from a mum, it captures what matters most 💙

At Spot, we’re a trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming practice, and RELATIONSHIP is at the heart of everything we do.

The best therapy doesn’t feel like therapy at all. It feels like play, joy, connection.

The real magic happens when a child feels safe and celebrated.

We lean into their strengths, follow their lead, and build sessions they actually love, while supporting their goals along the way.

What’s a **Zeitgeber** ?!?!

Glad you asked!

It’s a rhythmically occurring natural phenomenon which acts as a cue in the regulation of the body’s circadian rhythm.

The most powerful zeitgeber is natural light (in fact, artificial light at night can disrupt your hormones and internal rhythms). Others include mealtimes, regular exercises and social connection and routines.

We think this is a cool thing to think about because we know many neurodivergent people have nervous systems that process their inner world (via interoceptive, proprioceptive & vestibular systems) and the external world, differently.

Sensory processing differences can mean that integrating & synchronising inner and outer world ‘data’ is more challenging, impacting regulation & well-being.
Often, effective supports for neurodivergent people, throughout the lifespan, are tapping into the power of zeitgebers - fostering synchronicity with biological rhythms & the outer world.

We love this word because it seems to describe/explain what we commonly observe as areas of challenge for sensitive & neurodivergent people, WHILE clearly pointing us straight to the sources of healing that we intuitively know to be true.

We hope you’ll share this word with someone today, and think about leveraging your understanding of zeitgebers in your life!
