It’s the holidays! Friendly reminder that decades of beavioural research has shown that children who are rewarded for reading have poorer literacy outcomes than those who don’t receive rewards 📚 Research also shows that children who are genuinely interested in what they are reading have better literacy outcomes than those whose reading choices are prescribed 📚 So throw those holiday reading logs on the fire and fill those stockings with comic books!

“By YouTube's own admission, teenagers will be less safe if they are using their platform without an account.”

BTN High tests what YouTube content will be viewable without an account ahead of next month's social media ban, as an academic says the restrictions are unlikely to change what young people are watching.

Affirming speechies, OTs and Psychs: now is your chance! Email us if you are looking for a truly neuro-affirming role with a highly regarded practice.

This is a rare opportunity to join an already thriving Private Practice in the beautiful Wollondilly Shire. We are currently a Psychology only practice and would like you to help us take things to the next level with multidisciplinary practice. Lisa Boland Psychology is a client centred, neuro-affirming practice which subscribes to the social model of disability. We aim to provide therapy which considers all aspect of a client's life and the community around them.

In the past five years we have built a strong reputation with referrers as being ahead of the game in assessment, diagnostics, and therapeutic support for clients. This reputation has spread well outside our local area in the world of neuro-affirming practice and Lisa is a member of the highly regarded LOAPAC (League of Autistic Psychologists and Affirming Colleagues). This would be a perfect role for someone who wants to put their affirming values to good use.

We are looking for a well-rounded practitioner to begin taking referrals in the new year. We see a wide variety of clients and as such a willingness to work with all ages is preferred although a specialised focus will be considered. We will work closely with you to find the right clients to meet your expertise and/or support your professional development as you take on new challenges.

Expertise in assessment is a must, particularly in neurodivergence, as well as knowledge of neuro-affirming practice (or a willingness to learn) are essential. We are most in need of Occupational Therapists, Speech Therapists and Psychologists but are open to other Allied Health Professionals, Psychiatrists and Paediatricians.

Full administration and marketing assistance will be provided by our Practice Manager. Supervision with Lisa is also available if needed. Our consultations are primarily face to face however Telehealth is also an option allowing for flexible and work from home arrangements.

Working with children check, AHPRA registration, ABN, Professional Indemnity Insurance or a willingness to obtain these are essential.
