✨ That’s a Wrap for 2025 ✨

That’s a wrap on our final post for the year! As we head into the holiday season, we want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year — however you choose to celebrate, rest, or reconnect.

Our hope is that this season brings you moments filled with love, calm, and genuine connection, and that you’re surrounded by people who honour you for exactly who you are.

Thank you to every educator, leader, service, family, and community who has shared space with us this year. Your commitment to inclusion, curiosity, and growth inspires us daily.

Take care of yourselves, take care of each other, and we look forward to walking alongside you again in 2026.

In case you missed it… as we approach a busy period for OSHC and school-age care, we’re thrilled to share a resource designed to make your work easier, calmer, and more connected.

The Calm, Connected & Confident Webcast and accompanying free resource—developed in partnership with Child Australia —is now available.

This collaboration has been a true highlight for us at Neurominded. Child Australia led this project with such expertise and commitment, and we’re incredibly proud of what we’ve created together for the sector.

If you’re seeking evidence-informed, neuro-affirming strategies to support emotional regulation, inclusion, and wellbeing in OSHC settings, this is for you.

Completely free and accessible anytime.

✨ End-of-Year Pause ✨

As we wrap up for the year, we’re taking a moment to pause and reflect on what has been an incredibly full and rewarding 2025 for Neurominded.

This year saw us attending — and presenting at — a national conference, contributing to two state-based conferences, and being welcomed into countless professional learning spaces across WA. We’ve been fortunate to stay deeply connected and in ongoing communication with more than 15 providers and organisations, delivering professional learning, coaching, and long-form inclusion projects that we are deeply passionate about.

We were also invited to sit on committees that help shape the sector, all while continuing to further our own learning and professional growth… and somehow completing 12 uni assignments along the way.

It’s been a big year. A meaningful year. And we are so grateful to every educator, leader, service, family, and community who trusted us to walk alongside them.

Here’s to rest, reflection, and stepping into 2026 with purpose, clarity, and heart.

NEW FREE WEBCAST AND RESOURCE - in proud partnership with Child Australia

We're so excited to share the Calm, Connected & Confident Webcast and resource, created to support OSHC services to build inclusive, regulated enviornments through a neurodivergent lens.

This project wouldn’t exist without the incredible team Child Australia . They led this work with such commitment, passion, and deep advocacy for the early childhood sector. We're genuinely grateful for their vision and the enormous amount of work they put into bringing this resource to life.

Our role was to bring the voices, lived experience and neuro-affirming knowledge - and Child Australia brought everything together so beautifully.

It's now available completely free. Link below in comments ⬇️

Another session with the wonderful Keiki Hamersely team, exploring support, sensory processing, and self-regulation.

It’s always such an insightful session — and this group was no exception.
We had rich discussions about how our own sensory systems show up in practice, how we notice and respond to children’s cues, and what it means to support regulation with compassion, curiosity, and flexibility.

A truly engaged and reflective team ✨
Thank you for the warm welcome and the thoughtful conversations

✨What Do We Mean by “Flexible Seating Options for All”? ✨

When we talk about flexible seating, we don’t mean chaos — we mean choice.

We mean creating spaces where children can engage in learning in ways that feel supportive for their bodies and their brains.

During more adult-directed tasks, tabletop activities, or anything requiring a seated position, offering a range of seating options can make a huge difference.

Because:
🔹 Some children need a concrete, defined space to sit.
🔹 Some need to move their bodies continuously to stay regulated and engaged.
🔹 Some simply focus better when their sensory needs are acknowledged and supported.

Flexible seating isn’t a “fix” — it’s an inclusive design choice.

It says: There’s more than one right way to learn here.

And every child deserves to access the environment in a way that works for them.

✨ As we head towards the end of the year (how did that happen so quickly?!), we wanted to give everyone plenty of notice for our Christmas break.

Our team will be taking a much-needed pause to rest, recharge, and spend quality time with our families. Thank you for your support throughout the year — we’re so grateful for this community.

Tip of the Month 🌟

Keep learning and reflecting.

Notice what’s driving your feelings and whose comfort you're putting first.

Seek out the voices and experiences of neurodivergent individuals - they are the true experts of their own stories. 🌈

Real inclusion starts when we listen, learn, and adjust with empathy.

Our team recently attended training delivered by MyTime Australia, designed to support organisations that host MyTime groups.

Our consultant, Leanne unleashed her creativity during a clay activity — a powerful reminder of the benefits of mindfulness and taking time for yourself. 🌸

It was a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with the purpose behind MyTime: creating space for reflection, connection, and wellbeing 💛

✨ Neuroaffirming home-based learning ✨

We were thrilled to recently work with the incredible Girrawheen HIPPY team!

Our founder, Gee van der Watt, delivered a session exploring how we can make HIPPY work for every kind of mind — supporting families to see learning through everyday play, communication, and sensory-rich experiences. 💛

The HIPPY program is such an inspiring model — connecting parents and carers as tutors to help their children thrive through meaningful, everyday learning moments.
