Exciting news to announce!

We’re now offering Tele-health OT support for
Autistic and AuDHD adults. Including people who are newly diagnosed, self-identified, or just struggling to keep on top of life stuff. We offer client support Australia-wide and internationally 🌍 💻

Telehealth can be a great option if you’re:

> Feeling overwhelmed or burnt out struggling with routines, energy, or executive functioning

> Navigating work, relationships, or daily demands

> Wanting practical, neuro-affirming support that meets you where you’re at

You don’t need to be in crisis or have everything figured out to deserve support. OT can be a space to make life feel more manageable, sustainable, and aligned with how your brain works.

Alas! It’s officially the first week back at school for many. How’s it going so far? Manageable, we hope…

Transitions after long breaks — especially into new routines can be tricky, capacity changes and it takes time to find rhythm again. (I wonder where all our spoons have gone… 🥄)

But the weekend is fast approaching - hopefully low demand and restful in whatever way works for you .

Happy Wednesday everyone,
Hope your week is going well so far 💖 !

Sharing part 2 of our “Ways to support your neurodivergent brain when stuck” series.

Just a gentle reminder that strategies aren’t meant to work perfectly all the time. Cycling through different systems isn’t a failure or a lack of “discipline”, it’s listening to your needs and using what works for you.

Hope everyones doing well !

Thought we'd share some ways we can support our neurodivergent brains when we’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed or finding it hard to start.

Remember, some things will work some days and wont work other days. There’s no one “right” way and its totally normal to cycle through different strategies as long as they work for you.

Happy New Year! 🎉

As the new year approaches, there can be a lot of excitement, reflection, and pressure around goal-setting and planning. We hope you’re entering this next chapter in a way that prioritises burnout prevention, supportive systems, and self-love and compassion.

Wherever you are on your journey - energised, uncertain, resting, or somewhere in between - we genuinely hope that it all goes well for you

As New Year’s approaches, this is your reminder that there’s no one “right” way to celebrate 🎆

Neurodivergent nervous systems experience noise, crowds, expectations, and late nights differently—and that matters. The posts above share gentle, practical ways to support regulation, whether you’re going out, staying home, or doing something in between.

Fun can fill our cup and take from it. Both can be true.�Only you know what your body and your family need to feel safe, connected, and okay.

A gentle note: there’s a lot more context and many more strategies than can fit into a single Instagram post. What’s shared here is general guidance only—always choose what feels right, safe, and healthy for you.

If you have upcoming events or situations you’re feeling unsure about, chatting with your Occupational Therapist can really help. Individualising strategies to your nervous system, sensory needs, and life circumstances is exactly what OT is here for. You’re always welcome to reach out to us for an in-person or telehealth session if you’d like support planning ahead 💛 link in bio

Celebrate in the way that works for you. Over time, choosing what feels right can help the guilt and FOMO soften.

🌟 January 2026 OT Holiday Groups🌟

We’re excited to share our upcoming OT Holiday Groups for January 2026!

Holiday groups are a lovely way to:
💚Try out group therapy
💚Connect with other Autistic and neurodivergent kids
💚Explore whether our groups feel like a good fit before committing to term programs

Our groups are carefully and intentionally formed. We don’t group children by age alone — we consider personalities, interests, communication styles, and support needs so everyone can feel safe, comfortable, and supported to learn and grow together.

These sessions also offer families a chance to get a feel for our clinic and our neuro-affirming approach, and to see whether a particular group feels right for your child.

To learn more about how we form groups and to register your interest in holiday or term groups, head to the link in our bio or complete the enquiry form on our website.

While we can’t guarantee a place in a group, we can guarantee a thoughtful, collaborative process that centres your child’s goals and wellbeing 💛

We’re excited to share a sneak a peak of our upcoming OT groups for 2026!

At NeurodiversOTy , curating groups that meet peoples needs, interests and unique profiles is essential. We strive to make sure that every person feels safe, welcomed and supported. This means we don't "chuck" people in a group, we make sure that it is a right fit as best as we can.

For enquiries our link tree is in the bio. Feel free to reach out.

💚 Happy OT Week! 💚

As we wrap up the week, we just wanted to celebrate some of the amazing things the people we work with have achieved through their hard work in OT. We’re so proud of every single one of our clients — for the big wins, the small wins, and everything in between. 💫

With fluctuating capacity, end-of-year busyness, and the ups and downs of life, it’s easy to forget just how far we’ve come. But every win counts and should be recognised and celebrated. 🌿

At NeurodiversOTy, we’re passionate about educating and advocating for each person’s unique neurodivergent needs. When we understand these needs, we can find the external supports, environmental adaptations, and meaningful strategies that truly improve quality of life.

Here’s to celebrating growth, connection, and authenticity — this week and every week. 💛

🌟SENSORY PLAY 🌟

Incorporating sensory play into daily routines supports all aspects of development and helps children understand their sensory needs. Finding sensory play that you also enjoy means you are able to create more opportunities for non-tech quality connection time with your kiddos. For older primary school kids, this can also be a great way to chat about their day and create the moment to actually hear what's going on at school!

Research shows that sensory play is essential for children's development, providing a multitude of benefits across various activities. 🧠💪

💚Skill Building:
Engaging in sensory play—whether it’s with rice, water, play dough, or sand—helps improve fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and grip strength. These skills are crucial for daily tasks, such as writing and self-care.

💙Self-Regulation:
Sensory experiences promote emotional regulation. Tactile play helps children process and respond to sensory information, reducing anxiety and enhancing focus.

💛Cognitive Development: Manipulating different materials encourages problem-solving and imaginative play, vital for cognitive growth. Whether it’s following the recipe, pouring, scooping, or moulding, these activities spark creativity and critical thinking.

What sensory activities do your children enjoy or what are your favourites to do with your kids? 👇💬
