Hello from Bangkok!

It’s been energising (and humbling) to sit in rooms where practice looks both completely different and deeply familiar at the same time.

A few reflections so far

Hearing from therapists working in different funding systems and cultural contexts has been powerful. Some countries have no equivalent to NDIS. Some rely heavily on family, overburdened public systems, full fee paying private care. It’s making me reflect on what we sometimes take for granted in Australian practice.

There’s a lot of discussion globally about workforce sustainability, assessment reform, and shifting from deficit-focused models toward participation and strengths-based approaches. It’s reassuring (and confronting) to see that many systems are grappling with similar issues.

We’ve connected with clinicians working in paediatrics, mental health and rehab across Southeast Asia, Europe, the UK, the Middle East and North America. Hearing how other countries practise has deepened my appreciation for OT in Australia in ways I hadn’t fully recognised before. We have such strong training standards, structured and generous supervision, a clear professional identity, and a very healthy work/life balance.

Keen to unpack more of these learnings with the team over the coming weeks.

Valentine’s Day isn’t just about roses and choccy, though we won’t say no to either 😉 It’s a gentle reminder to pause, check in, and show a little love to the people who make our days brighter. Partners, mates, family, carers and even ourselves.

At Posity, we see every day how meaningful connection, support and care can truly change lives. Today, let’s celebrate the big wins, the small steps forward and the humans who walk alongside us through it all. 💚💜

The World Federation of Occupational Therapists Congress 2026

Posity is currently in Bangkok attending the World Federation of Occupational Therapists Congress 2026.

This global gathering brings together occupational therapists from across the world to share fresh research, practical ideas and thoughtful approaches to supporting children, families, individuals and communities.

It’s energising to sit in rooms with people who care deeply about participation, connection and wellbeing.

Being here reflects our commitment to ongoing learning and to grounding our work in strong occupational therapy evidence. It’s an opportunity to pause, reflect, and ensure that the support we provide continues to evolve alongside new research and global thinking - always keeping real people at the centre of what we do!

Picture one:

Appreciating the depth of work being presented at WFOT 2026.
This poster on Social Prescribing by Kiguchi et al. is one of many examples of the thoughtful research shaping occupational therapy practice globally.

Picture two:

Attended a thoughtful presentation by Tracey Partidge-Tricker titled “Occupation-Based Interventions to Facilitate Recovery from Psychological Trauma: A Scoping Review.” A strong piece of work reinforcing the role of meaningful occupation in trauma recovery.

Does your child have difficulty with toileting tasks such as wiping their bottom? 🧻Try this idea our Occupational Therapist Amy recently implemented with one of her clients to support reaching behind in a fun and engaging manner.

Using a card game like Spot It! tape cards to the base of a chair and have your child reach around to grab each card. Don’t have any card games? You could also try this activity with tape or Post it Notes. Let us know if you give this a try!

Play with Purpose 🎯

In occupational therapy, play is never just play. Each toy or game is carefully selected to help children build real-life skills in fun and motivating ways. This process is guided by clinical reasoning, goal setting, and adaptive strategies tailored to each child’s developmental stage.

Take a game like Bull’s Eye. The box may read “ages 3+,” but with a few creative adjustments it can be meaningful for toddlers too. By reducing the number of pieces, breaking tasks into smaller steps, or simplifying instructions, we create the just right challenge that allows a child to succeed.

We always begin with the functional goal, collaboratively set with parents—then adapt play to strengthen the underlying skills needed to reach the goal. The aim isn’t simply to play; it’s to use play as a powerful tool for building independence, confidence, and joy in learning.

The true therapeutic value lies not in the toy itself, but in the strategy use, creativity, and knowledge applied to its use. 💡💖 In this way, play becomes purposeful, targeted, and deeply impactful.

🤗🧠 Collaborative and Proactive Solutions 🧠🤗

Last year our Occupational Therapists Jordan and Paige attended Dr Ross Greene’s professional development training on Collaborative and Proactive Solutions.

Collaborative and proactive solutions is an evidence-based, trauma informed model of care that supports caregivers to focus on identifying the problems that are causing concerning behaviours in children and solving these problems collaboratively and proactively. Concerning behaviour is a child’s way of communicating with us that they are struggling to meet an expectation that has been placed on them.

Collaborative and proactive solutions involve asking and understanding from the child’s perspective what is hard for them about meeting the expectation. Then collaboratively working with the child to come up with a solution.

How can parents work collaboratively and proactively with their child to support their behaviour?
🔶 Gather information from the child directly about what is hard for them to meet the expectation.
🔶 Listening to understand what the child is telling you.
🔶 Clarifying with phrases such as “can you explain that more?” or “I don’t understand, can you tell me more about …?”
🔶 Bringing up what you are worried about for the child. For example “I am worried about you not brushing your teeth because I am worried you will get cavities and maybe need work at the dentist”.
🔶 Avoid power struggles. The best or winning solution is when the child and parent both have their solutions heard and collaborate.
🔶 Lastly, collaboratively working with the child on a solution that is realistic and mutually satisfactory for both the parent and child. Provide the child with the first opportunity to come up with a solution by asking “I wonder if there is a way to…”.

Fine motor skills to utilise small objects; gross motor skills to physically move and mobilise in the kitchen area.

🧠 Cognitive skills:
Attention to complete the task; planning, organising, and problem solving; memory; judgement and safety awareness; time management; following instructions.

🧍‍♀️ Sensory processing

🧘‍♀️ Emotional regulation:
Handling stress and pressure.

🤝 Social skills:
Social interaction when working together with others; seeking help.

Let’s develop these skills starting from a simple recipe.

🧠 Difficulties staying focused, organised, or getting things done?
You're not alone. Executive functioning challenges can make daily life feel overwhelming. But the good news? Occupational therapy offers practical strategies to help.

Here are 3 simple OT tools you can try today:
1️⃣ Use timers to stay on track
2️⃣ Break tasks into manageable chunks
3️⃣ Use visual to-do lists to stay organised

These strategies can support adults with ADHD, ASD, or anyone looking to improve focus and routine.
