🌿3 way to stretch you therapy budget 💛

Here are the three most common budget mistakes I see, and how you can fix them (without compromising support). 💸✨

💡 Watch the reel to learn:
1️⃣ Group sessions has a lower rate
2️⃣ Go and have individual session and implement in your home
3️⃣ Ask therapist about their payment options🌿

You’re doing the best you can — and it doesn’t have to cost a fortune. ❤️

Comment “HELP” and I’ll send you a free list of low-cost therapy alternatives.

💔 The True Cost of Therapy in SA — What Most People Never See

Behind every appointment, every assessment, every “you’re doing amazing” moment…
there’s a family quietly figuring out how to afford the support their child needs.

This carousel walks through what so many parents in South Australia live with every week — the real cost of getting help.

Swipe through, and you’ll see:
✨ Assessments that start in the hundreds (and climb past $2,000)
✨ Weekly therapy fees that add up faster than anyone expects
✨ Supplements, sensory tools, calming supports — all essential, all costly
✨ Travel, fuel, time off work… the invisible price no one warns you about
✨ And the hardest part — families who are “just shy” of NDIS criteria, left in limbo

This isn’t just numbers.
It’s the emotional and financial weight parents carry while still showing up with love every single day.

🌿 No family should have to struggle alone.
At Together Growing Strong, we advocate, we support, and we walk with families through the gaps.

💭 Sometimes what looks like “not paying attention” is actually deep thinking — just in a different way.

Neurodivergent kids often process the world creatively, not conventionally. They might be doodling, fidgeting, or staring into space… but trust me — their brains are busy building connections. 💡

🌻 Let’s keep space in our classrooms for all kinds of brilliance — because learning doesn’t look the same for everyone.

✨ Teachers, what’s one way you make room for different learning styles?
👉 Share your ideas in the comments — your small adjustment could inspire another educator to do the same.

🌻 Here’s to the Teachers Who Try

Last week, a teacher told me she felt like she was failing.
Her student had another meltdown, the lesson fell apart, and she drove home thinking, “Maybe I’m just not cut out for this.”

But what she didn’t see was the moment that same student came back the next day — calmer, smiling — because she didn’t give up on him.
She tried again. She adjusted. She learned. She listened. 💛

That’s the quiet magic of teachers who care.
The ones who rewrite their plans mid-lesson, who turn “behaviour issues” into moments of understanding, and who carry more compassion than most systems are built to hold.

Educational inadequacies fade when empathy leads the way.
And it starts with teachers like you. 🌿

✨ Keep showing up. You’re part of the change — even on the days it doesn’t feel like it.
👉 Tag a teacher who needs this reminder today.

🗣️ Have your say about some particular NDIS Supports!
💬 The NDIS Evidence Advisory Committee (EAC) will make recommendations to the government about the safety, suitability and cost-effectiveness of NDIS supports.

🫴 The EAC wants to hear from you about these supports:

- 🏃 Active passive trainers

- 🐕 Assistance animals for autistic people or people with intellectual disability

- 🐶 Psychiatric assistance dogs

- 🚨 Seizure alert dogs

- 💪 Exercise physiology

- 🏠 Smart home appliances (for cooking, cleaning and gardening)

💡 Your feedback will help the EAC give advice to the government about what works best for people with disability.

📝 There is a survey and Easy Read PDF that families and carers can complete to share their experiences – whether you use, have used, or want to use these supports.

🌐 You can find these and Easy Read questions, full question sets and Auslan versions on the EAC website (we will put the link in the comments).

🕒 Public consultation is open until this Sunday, 9 November 2025.

There are also a range of icons: a yellow lightbulb, a yellow person, a purple dog, a green dog, a red human head, a red house and a blue set of weights.
