Orego

💙 Helping You Support Others with Mental Health & Special Needs
🎓 Expert-Led Live Workshops & e-Courses for Parents, Educators & Caregivers

The DNA for the Company was identified some time before we settled on the name of the company – we wanted a purpose to anchor what we are doing. Without this all-important desire, we will not have started at all. We want to maximise the potential of the lives of those people who come to us by being the place where people can come to learn and grow to be a better person or to be better in what they do. Through education, training and other forms of services, we hope to equip them with knowledge and skills to better able to dealing with life and family challenges, and to be more effective and productive at work.

‘Orego’, the name chosen to be our Company name, aptly reflects our belief. Orego is the Greek word for ‘aspire’. It means to ‘eagerly desire to accomplish some goal or purpose; to strive to attain, to aspire to, to eagerly long for’. We want to impart to people a sense of being Restored, Encouraged and Enabled.

The house is finally "quiet." But is it, really?

That gentle hum from the refrigerator, the low buzz of a fluorescent light, the distant sound of a vacuum... for many of us, it's just background noise our brains easily filter out.

For a child with sensory sensitivities, especially those on the autism spectrum, these sounds aren't in the background. They are front and centre—a constant, draining, and sometimes painful input. Their world doesn't always have a "volume down" button for these specific triggers.

This is a gentle reminder that when a child seems overwhelmed in a seemingly calm environment, there might be an invisible reason. They're not being difficult; they're navigating a world that can feel incredibly loud. Let's remember to look beyond the obvious and lead with understanding. ✨

A different route home. The 'wrong' snack. Playtime ending a few minutes early. To us, they're minor adjustments. But for a child with Autism, they can feel like an earthquake.

Predictability isn't just a preference; it's a safety net 🧠. When that net is suddenly pulled away, it can trigger a genuine sense of fear and a desperate need to regain control. It's not defiance; it's a response to a world that suddenly feels chaotic and unsafe.

Understanding their world is the first step to helping them navigate ours ❤️.

It can be heartbreaking to watch a child who longs for connection but is held back by an invisible wall of anxiety. From the outside, it might look like shyness or a lack of interest, but more often than not, the desire to make friends is there. The real barrier is an internal storm of anxious thoughts that can sabotage their efforts before they even begin.

As parents and educators, our role isn't just to say "don't worry"; it's to become their trusted social coach. We can help them identify, question, and reframe these sabotaging thoughts, giving them the tools and confidence to build the meaningful connections they deserve.

As a parent or caregiver, you see the anxiety in your child with Autism, and you know it feels different somehow. It seems deeper and more intense than you can explain, leaving you feeling helpless as you watch them get overwhelmed by situations that seem simple to others. It’s a heavy feeling, and it often leaves you wondering if you're missing a crucial piece of the puzzle.

Here’s the piece that can change everything: for many with Autism, anxiety isn't a separate problem to be solved. It's a deeply intertwined, natural response to navigating a world that constantly feels unpredictable and overwhelming. It’s the logical result of the exhausting work of trying to decode confusing social rules and manage painful sensory input every single day. When we finally understand this, our role shifts. We stop trying to just "fix" the anxiety and start asking, "How can I make the world feel safer for them?"

➡️ Swipe through to explore this hidden link, the root causes, and how a simple shift in our perspective can make all the difference. Let's learn how to create a calmer world together.

It’s a scene so many of us know well. The door closes after a long school day or an overwhelming outing, and a wave of worry might wash over you. "Are they shutting me out?" "Should I be encouraging them to socialize more?" It's a natural concern when the child you love retreats into the solitude of their room, and it can sometimes feel like a form of withdrawal.

But as we start this new week, I want to specially encourage those of us who are nurturing special needs children to see that closed door differently. For a child navigating the world with Autism, GDD, or other sensory and social challenges, their room is not a punishment or a rejection of you. It is a fortress. It is their sanctuary—the one place where they can finally turn down the volume of a world that is too loud, too bright, and too unpredictable. This isn't withdrawal; it's a vital, intelligent act of self-care and emotional regulation. By allowing them this space, you're not losing them; you're giving them the safety they need to recharge so they can come back to you whole.

So let's reframe this together. How do you help the child in your life find their calm and build their sanctuary?

It's a journey that often begins late at night, in the quiet glow of a phone screen. You type in your worries—"𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝗶𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝗺𝘆 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗲𝘁?", "signs of developmental delay"—and you're met with a confusing storm of information. The words 'Global Developmental Delay' and 'Autism' seem to appear everywhere, often tangled together, making it feel impossible to know where one ends and the other begins. This uncertainty can be one of the heaviest burdens for a parent or caregiver to carry.

But what if we could untangle those terms and find clarity? Think of it this way: GDD often describes the speed of the developmental journey, while Autism describes the unique map that journey follows. A child can be on a slower path without being on a different map entirely. Understanding this distinction is one of the most empowering first steps you can take. It shifts the conversation from confusion to clarity, and from worry to action, ensuring your child gets the specific support they need to thrive on their own beautiful path.

➡️ Swipe through our carousel as we break down the key differences between GDD and Autism. Getting the right diagnosis isn't about a label; it's about unlocking the right support.

It's easy to get caught up in the schedule of appointments and feel like the "real" work only happens with the therapists. But let us remind you of a powerful truth: you are their safe space, their first teacher, and their most consistent source of support.

The moments that feel smallest—the shared laughter during playtime, the patient hug after a moment of frustration—are the foundational therapy upon which everything else is built. Your role is irreplaceable, and you are making a bigger difference than you will ever know. ❤️
