You see endless toys, we see endless potential and possibilities for development, engagement, conversation and connection with our clients.

Resources in our world (yes toys) are essential to open the doors for learning, adaption and growth to occur.

What are some of your favourites to use in session - or your kids favourites?

Every child deserves to reach their full potential. At Lifespan Therapies, we believe play is one of the most powerful tools to help children grow and thrive.

Through play-based therapy, we create a safe and joyful environment where children can work toward their goals naturally. Whether it's building communication skills, improving motor abilities, or developing social connections, play makes learning feel like fun.

We understand that every child is unique. That's why our approach is tailored to meet each child exactly where they are. Progress happens one meaningful moment at a time.

Your child's journey matters to us. We're here to support both you and your little one every step of the way.

What goals are you hoping to see your child achieve? 🌟

🌸 Empowering families to blossom through life 🌸

At Lifespan Therapies, our work with children and families is grounded in five core values:

✨ Compassion — showing empathy and understanding everyone's journey to live the life they choose
✨ Belonging — an inclusive community that supports everyone to reach their full potential
✨ Innovation — supporting the families throughout the whole journey and celebrating those little wins along the way
✨ Collaboration — continued development and upskilling to provide the latest (and fun) interventions
✨ Patience — a passionate and holistic team, working together to achieve each person's goals

These values shape how we show up every day: in our sessions, our conversations, and the care we provide.

Because every child deserves support that helps them feel safe, capable, and understood.

Have you heard of the Window of Tolerance? 🪟💛

Your child has a “window” where they can cope, learn, and connect. When they’re inside their window, their body feels calm enough to listen, play, and problem-solve.

When things feel too big:
🧡 Above the window → big emotions, meltdowns, fight/flight
💙 Below the window → shut down, tired, withdrawn

Stress, change, hunger, illness, or sensory overload can push children outside their window. This is not bad behaviour, it’s their nervous system asking for support.

Our role as adults isn’t to “fix” the feeling, but to help them feel safe and regulated so they can return to their window 💫
With support, this window grows over time.🤍

Who is ready to tackle the week ahead?

There are always obstacles ahead of us (kids and adults alike). Every day we see such tenacity and determination in every kiddo tackling every challenge head on, with a smile (or cheeky sideways glance).

How are you going to show up for the week ahead?

GAMES ♟️

Teach endless skills to young children - taking turns, following instructions, social skills and communication, recognising other people’s feelings and dealing with winning and losing.

It take resilience and time to learn these important skills - but once they do it opens up a whole world of fun and adventure.

Tell us, what board games do you play at home? Or what’s holding you back from playing them!

💜 Feeding Tube Awareness Week 💜

This week, landmarks around Australia are lighting up to shine a light on Feeding Tube Awareness Week to recognise, support, and celebrate children and families who use feeding tubes.

For many children, feeding tubes are not a last resort but a lifeline. They support growth, health, development, and participation in everyday life. Behind every tube is a child doing their best and a family navigating feeding with strength, patience, and love.

If you see a landmark glowing this week, let it be a reminder to:
✨ Challenge misconceptions
✨ Show compassion and understanding
✨ Celebrate the diverse ways children are nourished

We’re proud to celebrate our feeding tube families in our community and beyond 💜
