โœจ Christmas is officially ready at Learn to Shine! ๐ŸŽ„๐Ÿ’ซ
And this yearโ€ฆ itโ€™s extra special. โค๏ธ

Our beautiful Christmas tree and all the decorations you see were lovingly made by our little kiddos at the clinic โ€” with the gentle guidance, creativity and patience of our wonderful behaviour therapists.

What looks like simple art is actually so much more:
๐ŸŒŸ play-based learning
๐ŸŒŸ sensory exploration
๐ŸŒŸ communication and turn-taking
๐ŸŒŸ confidence building
๐ŸŒŸ tiny steps of progress that lead to big wins

These handmade pieces are treasures, not just decorations. They tell the story of slow, steady progress โ€” the kind that matters the most. โœจ

Hereโ€™s to our kiddos, our therapists and to the magic of creating together.
๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ’› Beautiful wins, and slow progress is the key.

๐ŸŒˆ POSITIVE BEHAVIOUR SUPPORT (PBS)
Supporting wellbeing, dignity & positive change

Positive Behaviour Support is a holistic, strengths-based approach that looks beyond behaviours of harm or concern to understand the real reason behind them โ€” the function, the why.

By identifying internal and external triggers, and building the right skills for both the individual and their support network, PBS helps make behaviours of concern irrelevant, ineffective, or unnecessary.
โœจ Itโ€™s about teaching new skills, creating supportive environments, and improving quality of life.

At Learn to Shine, our PBS approach is grounded in:
๐Ÿ’› Dignity and respect
๐ŸŒ Cultural responsiveness
๐Ÿง  Neuroaffirming practice

Every person deserves to feel understood, supported, and empowered โ€” and PBS helps make that possible. ๐ŸŒŸ

AMAZING SUCCESS STORY โ˜€๏ธ

ABA is and should always be aboutโ€”Connection, not compliance.

Here at Learn to Shine, we work with your children to build connection. We recognise that learning, when you have a neurodevelopmental difference, is hardโ€”especially when that difference impacts how you interact with and learn from your environmentโ€”so we need to make learning as easy as possible.

For this young person, over the last three years, we have followed their lead [child-led learning], which has led to drawing as a special interest (it started through craft play and a lot of glue and mess). From this, they have developed amazing skills in drawing, and as they head into school next year, we have started to familiarise them with language they may hear at school. Our Behaviour Analyst connected with the school to observe the prep class and develop their understanding of the curriculum. From this, we can ensure our young person has a good amount of known language and is ready to go, reducing the stress of the transition from kinder to prep. The observation notes were shared with the whole therapeutic team.

The child's mum and Therapy Assistant have worked on the goals of โ€˜All About Meโ€™ and letter recognitionโ€”through this child's interests of colouring and Demon Hunters, Golden is often on repeat in this little personโ€™s home.

This child has also learned to advocate for themselves. At our team meeting this week, the therapeutic team were talking, and it became too loud. The child said, โ€˜Hold on, guys, I need quiet and wait for two minutesโ€”I get the timer, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6.โ€™ The child managed the environment so it was not overwhelming.

The behaviour of learning and self-advocacy, taught through play and engagementโ€”thatโ€™s best-practice ABA.

๐ŸŽฎ Helping Kids Learn to Stay Calm with Mightier! ๐Ÿ’™

Mightier is a biofeedback program designed for children aged 6โ€“14 to help them manage their emotions in a fun and interactive way! โœจ

Using video games and a heart rate monitor, Mightier teaches children how to stay calm and in control โ€” the game actually gets easier when they regulate their emotions!

๐ŸŒŸ Benefits include:
๐Ÿ’ญ Improved emotional awareness
๐Ÿ’ช Better frustration and anger management
๐Ÿง˜ Reduced anxiety and emotional outbursts
๐ŸŽฏ Improved focus and behaviour

๐Ÿ“Š The results speak for themselves:
โœ… 87% of parents reported improvements in their childโ€™s behaviour after 12 weeks
โœ… 81% of children showed even greater progress when used alongside ABA therapy

At Learn to Shine, we love using innovative tools like Mightier to make emotional regulation engaging and empowering for children. ๐Ÿ’›
