And just like that, our December and January holiday program has come to an end! 🎉

We’ve had an absolute blast with all the kids who joined us. It’s been wonderful to see new friendships forming and old ones growing even stronger. 💛

We’re now enjoying a lovely long weekend before school goes back, and we’re already looking forward to seeing you all again in Term 1.

If you have any questions about the support we offer, please don’t hesitate to reach out we’re always happy to help!

Thanks to the wonderful Helping Hand team for all your efforts these school holidays!

Social Worker vs Occupational Therapist.

When supporting children, families often ask whether a Social Worker or an Occupational Therapist (OT) is the right fit. Both play important roles they just focus on different areas of development.

Social Workers support the emotional, social, and relational needs of children. This can include:�• Emotional regulation and understanding big feelings�• Managing change, transitions, and routines�• Anxiety support and coping strategies�• Social understanding, friendships, and conflict resolution�• Supporting parents, carers, and schools with consistent strategies
Social workers take a whole-child and family-centred approach, supporting children across home, school, and community settings.

Occupational Therapists (OTs) support the functional and sensory needs of children, including:�• Sensory processing �• Fine motor skill development�• Daily living skills (eating, dressing, toileting)�• School readiness and classroom participation�• Building independence through practical skills

Under the NDIS, both Social Work and OT supports can be claimed under Capacity Building, and many participants benefit from having both as part of their support team.

Not sure which support is right for your child? We’re always happy to chat and help guide you in the right direction
