✨ Aurora Children's Therapy Limited – 3 Years in Business! ✨

Today marks 3 years since I officially launched Aurora Children’s Therapy Limited, and I couldn’t be more grateful.

Over the past three years, I’ve had the honour of supporting and working with so many incredible children and families. Helping little ones grow, achieve their goals, and reach their full potential is truly my dream job – and I feel privileged every single day to do this work.

What started as a vision has now grown into something I could only have imagined back then. I’m so excited to announce that Aurora Children’s Therapy is expanding - I am currently advertising to take on another OT!

To all the families who have trusted me, the colleagues and professionals I’ve collaborated with, and everyone who has cheered me on – thank you. Your support has made this journey possible, and I can’t wait to see what the next chapter brings.

Here’s to more milestones, more growth, and more moments of joy as we continue helping children shine bright like the aurora. 🌈💫

It’s been a hot and sensory-challenging week 🌡️—we’ve seen extra restlessness and lots of kids struggling to regulate with the heat 🥵.

These 10 outdoor sensory activities are designed to support balance, coordination, and self-regulation—all while keeping things cool and fun!

Water play + movement = the perfect combo for calming the nervous system.

These are simple, low-prep ways to bring sensory support into summer days.

✅ Balance
✅ Coordination
✅ Sensory integration
✅ Movement with purpose

Let’s make hot days a little more manageable—and a lot more playful 💚

I’m excited to share that I’ll be attending the International Sensory Integration Congress in Portugal in January 2026! 🇵🇹

It’s a fantastic opportunity to connect with colleagues from around the world and explore the latest research and developments in sensory integration. I'm really looking forward to learning, exchanging ideas, and bringing new insights back to my practice.

Counting down to a week of inspiration and professional growth!

On behalf of the International Council for Ayres Sensory Integration (ICE-ASI), we are pleased to invite you to the ISIC 2026 Congress in Porto, Portugal, from January 29 to 31, 2026. This event will bring together professionals and researchers in the field of Ayres Sensory Integration to share knowledge, explore new research, and connect with peers.

🌿 Forest School OT Fun! 🌿

Today’s occupational therapy session was all about exploration, engagement, and nature play! 🍂 We used this Nature Scavenger Hunt board during our session at a Forest School — searching for leaves, feathers, acorns, and even something fuzzy 🐛.

Outdoor play isn’t just fun — it’s powerful therapy. Nature-based activities support:

- Fine motor skills (picking up and placing small items)
- Sensory regulation (textures, sounds, smells)
- Social interaction and communication
- Motor planning and problem-solving
- Mindfulness and emotional regulation

Getting outside stimulates both body and brain 🌱
