🎃👻 Sensory-Friendly Halloween Tips from OTs! 🧡

Halloween fun doesn’t have to mean trick-or-treating, staying home can be just as special! Try a cozy movie night, themed crafts, or handing out treats from a calm space. And remember, you don’t have to "get involved" if it doesn’t feel right for you, or your child! 🌟

October is Selective Mutism Awareness Month.

Did you know? Whilst officially known as Selective Mutism, many in the community prefer the term Situational Mutism because it's not about choice, but about being unable to speak in certain environments.

✨ Understanding is the first step to support.
Children and adults with Situational Mutism want to communicate — they just need the right support, patience, and strategies.

💚 We’re proud to see former Starjumpz team member Anya Kennedy, Occupational Therapist, sharing her expertise with the Scottish Parliament’s Health, Social Care and Sport Committee earlier this month.

Anya gave evidence as part of their inquiry into ADHD and autism pathways and support, powerfully advocating for:

✔️ Support based on individual needs and daily function – not just diagnosis
✔️ Integrated neurodevelopmental assessments, rather than separate ADHD and autism pathways
✔️ Multidisciplinary teams that reflect real-life experiences
✔️ Stronger governance of private assessments to ensure quality and consistency
✔️ Sustainable funding for vital third sector services
✔️ National standards and better data collection to ensure people get the right support at the right time

Well done, Anya — and thank you to Royal College of Occupational Therapists for sharing and continuing to raise awareness of the changes needed to better support neurodivergent individuals across the UK.

💛 You Can’t See DLD — But It’s There 💛

1 in 14 people live with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) - a hidden but lifelong condition that makes understanding and using language harder. Because you can’t see DLD, its impact is often missed in classrooms, workplaces, and communities.

Starjumpz is proud to join the global movement with RADLD - Raising Awareness of Developmental Language Disorder and help make language visible.

You can find out more here 👉www.radld.org

Together, we can make a difference for people with DLD. 💬💛
