📚 Back to school classroom support for teachers.

In our partnership with Down Syndrome & Intellectual Disability Queensland (DSIDQ), our team developed and delivered resources and professional learning sessions to support teachers working with students with Down syndrome and/or intellectual disability.

It explores:
• Understanding sensory processing differences
• How they show up in learning environments
• Practical strategies to support regulation, participation, and engagement

Creating supportive classrooms starts with understanding our students, not changing them.

So excited for the new Ripley centre opening January 2026 ✨
Over the years, we’ve loved supporting Wings with onsite training, from early years education to practical emotional regulation strategies, environmental adaptations, and conversations around the importance of early intervention.

We truly value community partnerships like these and the opportunity to work alongside educators and directors who are so passionate about supporting children’s development.

We can’t wait to see this new amazing centre in action! 🩵

🎄The holidays can be magical… and a little overwhelming for all of us 🩵
Excitement, late nights, big events, heat, and sensory overload can all impact regulation.

Here are a few tips from the team to support your family this festive season:

✨ Keep some routine where possible
✨ Incorporate festive movement and heavy work breaks (reindeer walks, elf jumps, polar bear crawls, sleigh pushes/pulls)
✨ Prepare children with visual schedules, countdowns, and simple, clear explanations for transitions
✨ Watch for sensory overload, during this time, there are a lot of lights, noise, new smells, crowds, and heat ☀️
✨ Bring familiar foods and comfort items (headphones, hats, sunglasses)
✨ Allow quiet time or breaks after busy events

We hope you all have a safe and joyful holiday season 🎄🩵

Helping Our Kids Feel Safe in the Storm 🌨

Cyclones can be scary for little ones, but you can help them feel safe with a few simple strategies:

✔ Co-regulation – Your calmness helps them stay calm.
✔ Coaching – Reassure them with comforting phrases.
✔ Regulators – Give them access to their favorite comfort and regulating items.
✔ Joyful Activities – Turn the storm into a cozy family time.
✔ Soothing Activities – Hugs, reading, and rocking can help.

We are wishing everyone safety during this time.
