It was a WARM January, especially when the air conditioning at the front of our building died. As always, our team tackled this challenge with humour, curiosity and creativity!

These portable units were quite cumbersome to have around, but they had a certain flair that made them quite endearing.

Thanks to our speechie Esther who was able to bring this vision to fruition. We have fresh, delicious new air con now, so it's farewell for now to our windy, portable friends 👋

Music isn’t an add-on at Creative Therapy Adelaide, it’s at the heart of everything we do.

Our approach uses music as a therapeutic tool to support attention, communication, movement, regulation and engagement across all our services, not just in music therapy sessions.

This year, we’ll keep sharing the practical ways we use music every day to lift outcomes and create meaningful moments for the people we support.

Stay tuned!
