A meaningful Medicare update has arrived for children and young people with speech needs 💬

From 1 March 2026, stuttering, speech sound disorders and cleft lip and/or palate are now included under the Medicare M10 allied health item group for those under 25. This means eligible families can access Medicare-rebated speech pathology assessment and treatment with a valid referral.

Access matters. Early support matters. And reducing financial barriers matters.

If this information could help a family in your world, consider sharing it with them. And if you have questions about how this pathway works, our team is always happy to help guide you 💛

If your child is finding speech hard right now, take a breath.

Communication is bigger than words. It lives in gestures, looks, movements, sounds and shared moments. When we widen our definition of communication, we often realise our children are already telling us so much.

Start by noticing. Notice how they get their needs met. Notice what lights them up. Notice how they show you “more,” “stop,” “look” or “come.” That’s communication.

Assume they have something to say. Support their message with visuals, signs or AAC if needed. Reduce distractions. Follow their interests. Meet them where they are.

Progress doesn’t always sound like clear words at first. Sometimes it looks like connection, confidence and shared understanding.

And that’s a powerful place to begin 💛

A few simple Kaurna phrases to support everyday connection.

We love the idea of learning small greetings we can use in daily life, whether it’s at home, in the community or when meeting new people. Even a few words can be a meaningful way to show respect and stay curious about the place we live.

Save this post for later and feel free to try one this week.

This is OT.

It might look like play. It might look like climbing, building, swinging, drawing, pretending. But underneath each moment is clinical reasoning, careful observation, and intentional support.

Occupational Therapists help children build the skills they need for everyday life. We support regulation, motor development, independence, confidence and participation in the activities that matter most to them and their families. We break down big challenges into achievable steps. We celebrate progress that others might miss. We create spaces where children feel safe enough to try and brave enough to keep going. We work alongside caregivers to support meaningful change.

OT is about understanding each child as a whole person and what the environment around them looks like. It’s about recognising their strengths, supporting their uniqueness and helping them engage more fully in their world.

This is OT. Thoughtful. Evidence-informed. Playful. Powerful.

Simple toys often support the biggest learning 🧱

Building blocks are one of those versatile toys that speech therapists and occupational therapists both love. Through play, children develop imagination, problem solving, logical thinking, planning and coordination, and language all while having fun and following their own ideas.

No batteries. No rules. Just endless ways to build, explore, knock down and try again!

Love isn’t always expressed through words ♥️

It can be shared through actions, gestures, signs or presence.

As Valentine’s Day approaches, we’re celebrating all the different ways people say “I love you”, especially when words aren’t available. Because communication is so much more than speech.

We’ve got exciting news! 🎉

In 2026, SPOT will be popping up at Toddler Time at Brighton Library in Week 7 of every term, and we can’t wait to see you there! You’ll find us on Thursdays from 10:30–11:30am, joining the fun with a Sensory Stay & Play session.

We’ll be there to connect with families and provide tips and information if you have concerns about your child’s development. We love being part of something that brings families together and supports our local libraries.

Save the date, spread the word, and we’ll see you at the first session on Thursday 12 March 📆

Communication skills can be supported in so many simple ways through everyday play, interactions and routines.

Pretend play, people games, interactive games, physical activity, shared book time and even daily routines all create natural opportunities for children to hear language, practise new words and build connection with the people around them.

Keep it fun and following your child’s interests supports motivation and engagement. Language modelling in the moment when a child is interested and engaged is the best time to get neurons firing to make stronger and new connections to build language.

Swipe through for a few easy play ideas you can try at home for language development across the early years.

A great start to the year calls for a moment to reconnect 💜

Earlier this week, our team came together to check in, share a few laughs and spend time connecting and catching up. At SPOT, we prioritise group activities like this to encourage collaboration and support across our team, which in turn benefits the children and families that we support.

With the first week back at school underway, it was a great chance to reset, reflect and look ahead as another exciting year gets underway at SPOT.

25/01/2026

Today is a good day to pause and reflect on what helps children and families feel safe, supported and valued.

For many people, that includes honouring culture, identity, language and community, and making space for difference in the places we live, learn and gather.

However you are spending today, we hope it includes connection, care and moments that feel meaningful for your family.
