Wednesday's speech announced some of the most significant changes the NDIS has seen in quite a few years. And we know that some of what was said sounds overwhelming and unsettling.

We are here to reassure our parents and families that your child will continue to receive the highest-quality support from our team.

We've provided a quick recap of the main changes coming to the Scheme and a few areas that we still don't have tangible information for.

We are here for you.

If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to the OTHC team or your OT.

The Curve of Forgetting is a visual representation of the way humans learn and retain information. Created back in the 1880’s, it is still a brilliant way of articulating why repetition of skills and ideas helps it stick in our minds.

If you’re working on a skill with your child and they seem to be struggling to grasp it, remember this model. Constant practice and reminders will slowly but surely increase their knowledge and capacity.

Self-care skills are an important part of development as they empower children to be independent and self-sufficient. In order to help you understand the expectations for self-care skill development, we have compiled a comprehensive list of developmental milestones.

But it’s important to remember, this is just a guide. Every child is different and will develop at their own pace. If you’re concerned about your child’s self-care skills, it may be time to get in touch.

Today is World Autism Understanding Day! So we wanted to use this day to explain some of the terms you will likely hear when talking about autism... ASD, neurodivergency, neuroaffirming. The more we all understand about autism, the easier it will be to break down barriers.
