About last week… 🙌🏻

The Flying Start Christmas catch-up with our crew 🥰

Great company, plenty of laughs, and a much-needed chance to spend some time together amongst the end of year chaos. Always good to press pause, eat too much and reflect on the year that was.

What a team we have! ✨

Big feelings often come from little people doing hard things.

If your child gets frustrated quickly, it’s not because they’re being difficult - it’s often a sign that something feels too hard, too fast, or too overwhelming.

Frustration is communication. When we respond with calm validation, children learn that big feelings are manageable, and that they’re not alone.

Introducing… FLYING START BOOK CLUB!

We’re excited to launch a monthly Book Club designed to bring families wonderful resources that support connection, learning, and confidence.

Each month we’ll highlight a book recommendation that we either use during therapy sessions, has a great message or story line, useful evidence-based content, or is just fun to read with your child while supporting their development in lots of ways.

Whether you’re a parent, carer, educator, or someone who just loves books — this space is for you! 📚

A wonderful catch-up with our amazing team—complete with Christmas crafts and a few of our own special little helpers 🎄We’re constantly reminded of the importance of our great team. Surrounding ourselves with people who support, collaborate and care makes all the difference on the impact we have on our clients and their families. So grateful for our team!

Today is International Day of People with Disability (IDPwD), a United Nations day that promotes community awareness and understanding of people with disability.

The theme for IDPwD 2025 is fostering disability inclusive societies for advancing social progress.

The theme means we all need to work together to make society fairer and respect the rights of people with disability.

To do this, we need to:
👉 Take away barriers that stop people with disability from joining in.
👉 Make sure people with disability have the same chances as others.
👉 Have health care and good education that everyone can use.
👉 Include people with disability in all parts of life.

We also need to understand the problems people with disability face. This includes being poor, not being able to find a job and being treated unfairly.

We've had a gorgeous OT join our team, so thought Cody was the perfect candidate to be next in our 'Meet the Team' introductions. Let's hear a little more about Cody...

Favourite thing about being an OT?
I love being apart of a family and child's journey to achieve goals and milestones that maybe they never thought possible! I also value creating a safe space where they can be their authentic selves!

Favourite game?
Definitely Uno No Mercy for older kiddos. It targets so many different skills, however I fear my kids beat me all the time. For my younger kiddos, definitely playing with a Lycra tunnel or pop the pirate!

Favourite childhood movie?
This is a tricky one I would have to say 'Cat in the Hat'. I have seen it too many times to count!

You can read more about Cody and our other therapists on the ‘Meet the Team’ page on our website.
