Is your child struggling with upsetting memories, big worries, or feeling "stuck" in their emotions?

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a powerful, evidence-based therapy that helps the brain process difficult experiences so they no longer feel overwhelming.

Registered Psychologist Alesha explains how EMDR at Kids Point supports children in navigating past experiences, present triggers, and future challenges.

🧒 Not just for trauma: It’s highly effective for anxiety, depression, grief, school refusal, and more.
🧒 Child-friendly & engaging: Unlike traditional talk therapy, we use tapping and play movements to make sessions fun.
🧒 Low language demand: Children don’t need a lot of words to find relief and benefit from the process.
🧒 Safe & in control: This is NOT hypnosis. Your child remains fully awake, aware, and in control the entire time.
🧒Inclusive: Highly suitable for neurodivergent children and adaptable across all cultural beliefs and practices.
🧒 Help your child feel calmer and more confident. If they are feeling stuck, EMDR might be the path forward.

🧠 Occupational Therapist Leanie Eksteen explains how OTs work with children with autism.

OTs help children understand:

👉 Their own bodies and signals
👉 How their emotions work
👉 How they respond to sensory information
👉 Their strengths and how they relate to their environment

Every child with autism is unique. OTs use different tools tailored to each child's specific needs - helping them regulate, cope, and do the things they want to do every day.

At KidsPoint, we're committed to individualised, compassionate care. 💙

🧠 World Autism Understanding Day is today. Occupational Therapist Leanie Eksteen shares why Easter holidays can be overwhelming for autistic people.

As these holidays coincide with World Autism Understanding Month, it's important to understand:

👉 Routine Disruptions: Public holidays break predictable routines
👉 Overstimulation: Family gatherings, parades & busy environments can overwhelm
👉 Sensory Sensitivities: Autistic people may struggle in changing, busy spaces

When planning Easter activities, trips & family visits - consider these needs. Small adjustments make a real difference. 💙
