It has been a little while since I’ve posted. I've been privileged to be working with so many wonderful clients and their families, which means social media is at times on hold.

But today, I am delighted to share this beautiful song and video written by Pamela Campbell, music teacher in De La Salle College in Dundalk.

The song’s message is simply that autistic children and adults are not broken, not in need of fixing. That they are okay, that they see and experience the world differently and that difference needs to be understood and accepted, a message that I believe so strongly in.

It is all the more special for those in Dundalk that this song is dedicated to the memory of Daragh McNally, much loved and missed.

Have a listen and share this wonderful song 🩵

I’m Okay is a powerful new Irish song and music video created to encourage greater understanding, compassion and acceptance around autism.Written by Pamela C...

To all the children and parents, past and present, that I have had the pleasure and privilege of working with and supporting, I wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Working as a Play Therapist in 2025 has been a gift, for which I am incredibly grateful.

There is no doubt that children and adults can find Christmas time over stimulating. There are so many demands and expectations with school, work, home and friends. It is a time of routine changes and sensory overload...lights, smells, sounds, crowds of people. Let's look at some of the challenges some people experience.

Sensory support strategies will follow......

I love this..wonderful sound advice from lived experience. You do you.... Do what works for your family. Ignore those ready to judge from the sidelines. Always strive to be the caring, compassionate attuned parent💗

So much fun exploring music as a creative medium we use in the play therapy room, helping children to explore music and movement in ways that feel safe and enjoyable, providing tools for regulating sensory experience and supporting the parent-child connection through shared rhythm and movement ❤️ Thank you

What a wonderful experience I had on Friday last running 'Regulation Rocks' workshop and meeting everyone @ Autism Rocks Arch Club in Louth. A fantastic club run by committed and passionate volunteers. The children enjoying themselves in a safe space full of fun and connection. Thank you so much for having me and I'm looking forward to seeing you all in November!
