🌟 SUPPORT YOUR CHILD'S OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY JOURNEY 🌟

Occupational therapy helps children develop essential skills for daily activities, and as a parent or caregiver, there are many ways you can support their progress at home. Here are some helpful tips:

📌Practice Regularly: Short, consistent sessions are more effective than long, infrequent ones.

📌Embed Activities into Routines: Use mealtimes or daily tasks to practise skills like utensil use or dressing.

📌Make it Fun: Turn therapy into play—engage your child with enjoyable activities.

📌Break Down Tasks: Simplify complex tasks into small, manageable steps.

📌Collaborate with the Therapist: Keep in touch for personalised at-home activities.

📌Create a Safe, Supportive Space: Ensure the child’s environment is comfortable and distraction-free.

📌Focus on Strengths: Celebrate your child’s achievements to build confidence and motivation.

📌Be Patient: Children learn at their own pace—encouragement is key.

📌Encourage Independence: Gradually promote self-care tasks like eating and hygiene.

📌Use Visual Aids: Visual schedules can help children understand routines.

📌Address Sensory Needs: Work with the therapist to manage sensory sensitivities.

📌Consider Adaptive Tools: Specialised equipment like pencils or utensils can help.

With patience, consistency, and collaboration, you can create an environment that nurtures your child’s growth and development! 💪❤️

🧩 What’s New in the NDIS – and What It Means for Paediatric Occupational Therapy Families 🧩

Dear friends and families,

There are some important updates to the NDIS that all paediatric OT users and their caregivers should know:

🔹 Funding Periods are Here (From May 19, 2025)
• Instead of receiving your full annual plan budget upfront, funding will now be released in instalments - often on a monthly or quarterly basis.
• This applies to new participants and those undergoing plan reassessment.
• For paediatric OT families, this means planning ahead to make sure therapy sessions and reports fit within each funding block.

🔹 Early Childhood Supports Expanded (From July 2025)
• The age cap for early intervention codes has increased - children up to 9 years old are now eligible for funding under paediatric codes.
• Good news if your child is between 7 and 9, and you’re seeking developmental OT support.

🧠 What This Means for Paediatric OT Planning
• Budget pacing matters. You’ll need to work with providers to make therapy hours fit within each instalment period.
• Because OT pricing hasn’t been increased for five years, some therapists are choosing not to service NDIS clients—leading to longer waitlists and potential gaps.
• If your child is aged 7–9, don’t miss out on accessing early intervention supports.
• Keep an eye on upcoming changes to eligibility and foundational supports—your plan may look different next time it’s reviewed.

✅ Key Takeaways
* * Funding Schedule - Must plan therapy within instalments (monthly/quarterly)
* * OT Pricing - Still frozen; watch reduced provider availability
* * Early Childhood Access - Expanded up to age 9 – great opportunity
* * Scheme Reforms - Eligibility tightening; foundational supports uncertain

Thanks for reading. If you’re managing a child’s OT under an NDIS plan, it's a good time to:

• Chat with your service provider about how these funding changes affect your therapy timing,
• Review your plan budget and usage before your next reassessment,
• Check eligibility if your child is moving toward foundational supports instead of an NDIS plan.
• Speak with the NDIA directly to get greater clarity on how the changes may impact your child’s plan.

Let’s support each other in navigating these changes. 💙
